We are seeking an individual with these personal attributes:

Team Building: We believe in the dignity and respect of all employees. We’re looking for an individual who emulates this and leads by example, makes and keeps commitments and gets things done. We’re looking for someone who will challenge their team to do the same, both coaching team members and holding them accountable for their safety, productivity and effect on quality. We need a leader to find and develop the capabilities of the right team, while rapidly culling out under-performers.

Customer Focus: We need to drive a fanatical devotion to our customers throughout our team, ensuring that every delivery is made on time, and that our product maintains the highest quality standards. We need a leader who will challenge their team to do the right thing for the customer, even when it is not easy or convenient.

Hands-On Worker/Leader: We are a small company and you will be expected to handle the day-to-day challenges of producing product while building a business. You will get things done with and through your team. As we grow, we’re looking for someone to work with and alongside our team – not a “manager/administrator”, but a “worker/leader” who acts to solve problems, communicates effectively, and leads by example.
A Master of Daily Execution: We are seeking a leader capable of rigorously ensuring safety of all team members every day, while ensuring efficient, compliant operations, and high-quality production. CleanFiber’s Production Supervisor(s) must be able to confidently achieve and report out on daily, weekly and monthly goals.

Enjoys the Work and Sees the Vision: We are seeking a candidate who wants to be on the floor in a manufacturing environment and an integral part of building a successful company from the ground up. You will join CleanFiber not only for your career and income, but for the adventure of building a business, changing the building materials industry, and improving the lives of our employees and customers. You will feel success when the team and our customers are successful.
