About Piedmont Candy Company

We've been crafting nostalgic American candy for over 130 years — best known for our iconic Red Bird peppermint puffs. We're not a startup, but we think like one when it comes to modernizing our operations. We've invested heavily in automation, cleaner production processes, and technology-driven systems, and we're building the team to match.

The Role: 2nd Shift Production Lead

We're looking for an experienced Production Lead or Shift Lead to take ownership of our 2nd shift kitchen operations. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll guide a team of operators, oversee automated mixing and batching systems, and keep production running safely, consistently, and efficiently.

This is not a restaurant job. We're looking for candidates with a background in food manufacturing, batch processing, chemical processing, or industrial production, people who understand production flow, equipment oversight, and how to lead a team on the floor.

What You'll Do

Team Leadership

Lead, coach, and hold accountable a team of kitchen operators and candy technicians
Set clear performance expectations and drive a culture of ownership and accountability
Build and maintain a positive, safety-first work environment

Production & Operations

Oversee batching, mixing, and ingredient flow to support downstream production lines
Ensure the right materials, quantities, and sequences are in place to meet production targets
Monitor automated systems and equipment performance throughout the shift
Troubleshoot production issues in real time; coordinate with maintenance when needed

Automation & Process Oversight

Operate within a highly automated kitchen environment — less manual labor, more systems thinking
Identify and resolve process disruptions, equipment inconsistencies, or quality deviations
Apply knowledge of batch processing, cooking behavior, or food science to maintain product consistency

Food Safety & Quality Compliance

Enforce GMPs, PPE requirements, and food safety standards across the shift
Ensure batch consistency, temperatures, and quality checks meet specifications
Maintain accurate batch records and documentation; support audit readiness

Continuous Improvement

Identify opportunities to reduce waste, improve throughput, and streamline workflows
Partner cross-functionally with Quality, Maintenance, and Operations leadership on improvement initiatives

What We're Looking For

We know most candidates won't have candy-making experience — that's fine. We hire for leadership, mechanical aptitude, and manufacturing know-how. If you can run a team and troubleshoot a process, we can teach you the rest.

Preferred Backgrounds:

Food manufacturing (bakery, beverage, dairy, snack, protein, co-manufacturing, etc.)
Batch processing or chemical/industrial processing environments
Manufacturing operations with automated or semi-automated systems
Experience overseeing mixing, cooking, blending, or batching processes

Requirements:

2+ years of team lead, supervisor, or shift lead experience in a manufacturing environment
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills — you stay calm and think clearly when things go sideways
Comfort operating in and adapting to automated production environments
Solid understanding of production flow, scheduling, and process sequencing
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, continuously improving environment

Preferred:

Bilingual in English and Spanish (a plus for team communication — not required)
Familiarity with GMP, HACCP, or SQF food safety standards
Experience with continuous improvement methodologies (Lean, Kaizen, 5S)

What We Offer

Competitive hourly pay: $25-$26/hr based on experience
Health, dental, and vision insurance
401k / retirement plan with 6% match
Paid time off
Stability: Over 130 years in business with continued investment in growth and modernization
Room to grow: We promote from within and are building leadership capacity as we expand

Our Values

We're a company built on integrity, accountability, and continuous improvement. We move fast, we solve problems together, and we take care of the people who show up every day and do the work.

Piedmont Candy Company is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
