Full Job Description

Multi-Site Manufacturing Operations
Location: Multi-Site Corporate Manufacturing Role Supporting Facilities Across IL, GA, NV, and FL
Company: Turano Baking Company

Travel to Multiple Bakery Locations | 50–75% Travel | Hands-On Leadership

Turano Baking Company is a family-owned bakery with over 60 years of experience producing high-quality breads and rolls for foodservice, retail, and national customers across the United States.

We are seeking a HANDS-ON, solutions-driven Traveling Bakery Maintenance Manager to lead engineering, capital projects, maintenance strategy, and facility improvements across multiple manufacturing operations.

This is a high-impact leadership role responsible for driving operational reliability, supporting plant performance, and managing major engineering and construction initiatives throughout the organization.

The ideal candidate MUST HAVE bakery engineering experience, practical project leadership skills, and the ability to work effectively across operations, maintenance, sanitation, quality, and executive leadership teams.

Position Overview

This role oversees major engineering and facility projects across the organization, including line installations, equipment upgrades, plant improvements, and infrastructure initiatives.

This role works closely with Production, Maintenance, Quality, Safety, and Executive Leadership to improve operational efficiency, equipment reliability, food safety compliance, and long-term manufacturing capability.

This is a hands-on manufacturing leadership position — not a desk-only engineering role. Candidates must have strong mechanical, electrical and PLC experience.

Key Responsibilities

Engineering & Capital Projects

Lead multi-site engineering and capital improvement projects from planning through implementation
Manage construction, facility upgrades, equipment installations, and production line expansions
Develop project scopes, budgets, timelines, and vendor requirements
Coordinate contractors, suppliers, and internal teams to ensure successful project execution
Evaluate manufacturing processes and recommend operational improvements

Manufacturing & Operational Support

Partner with Plant Engineers and Maintenance teams to improve equipment reliability and operational performance
Assist facilities in developing and strengthening preventive maintenance (PM) programs, maintenance procedures, and equipment lifecycle planning
Support the development of breakdown analysis and root cause corrective action programs to reduce downtime and improve operational efficiency
Assist plants in improving maintenance inventory control and critical spare parts management
Support troubleshooting and resolution of major mechanical, electrical, and PLC-related equipment issues
Recommend and implement equipment upgrades and modernization initiatives to improve reliability, safety, efficiency, and production capability
Work with plant leadership to evaluate aging equipment and support both mechanical and electrical improvement projects across facilities
Analyze equipment failures and implement long-term corrective actions and continuous improvement initiatives

Food Safety & Compliance

Ensure engineering and maintenance activities comply with GMPs, food safety standards, and company sanitation requirements
Coordinate maintenance activities in food handling areas to minimize operational and product safety risk
Ensure proper communication and cleanup procedures following maintenance or repair work
Support compliance with applicable OSHA, environmental, and regulatory requirements

Leadership & Communication

Present project updates, budgets, and recommendations to Leadership
Work cross-functionally with Operations, Maintenance, Quality, Sanitation, and Purchasing teams
Support long-term facility planning and operational growth initiatives
Assist in developing engineering standards and best practices across facilities

Qualifications

5+ years of engineering leadership experience in bakery
Prior experience managing capital projects, plant construction, or equipment installations
Strong mechanical, electrical and PLC skills
Experience working in GMP and food-safe manufacturing environments
Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously
Strong vendor management, budgeting, and project planning skills
Excellent communication and leadership abilities

Work Environment & Travel

Multi-site manufacturing support role
Frequent plant-floor presence in active production environments
Occasional off-hours support may be required during major projects or operational emergencies
Travel between facilities required as business needs dictate

Why Join Turano?

Established 60+ year family-owned company
National manufacturing footprint with continued growth
High-visibility leadership role with direct operational impact
Opportunity to lead major projects and modernization initiatives
Competitive compensation and benefits package including:
Medical, Dental & Vision
401(k) with company match
Paid time off
Life insurance

Compensation commensurate with experience

Important

This role requires strong manufacturing leadership, project execution skills, and the ability to operate effectively in fast-paced production environments. Candidates without relevant experience may not be considered.

Pay: From $100,000.00 per year

Application Question(s):

Have you worked for Turano before?
Do you currently have any family members working for Turano?
Were you referred by a Turano employee? If yes, who?

Experience:

Commercial Bakery: 5 years (Preferred)

Willingness to travel:

75% (Required)

Work Location: In person
