We have an exciting opportunity at our seed corn production location in Rushville, IN for a Team Lead. In this position, you will oversee a staff of production employees and coordinate internal and external resources to ensure safe and smooth operations. The Rushville production location runs various production schedules during peak season, September through March each year. This includes but is not limited to the following: running one to three 8-10-hour shifts (5-6 days per week, with 1-2 days off) rotating shifts. During off-peak months, April through August, the site staggers down to an 8-hour day shift schedule with occasional overtime when needed. This provides a much better work-life balance than other manufacturing roles and opportunities!

* Support the oversight of harvest, sorting, receiving, shelling, drying, bulk load out, conditioning, bagging, and warehousing operations to maximize material flow and process efficiencies.

* Monitor product quality for consistent compliance with the Quality Plan requirements.

* Understand and support the process order activity.

* You work with technologies well; you can use and train on automation and digital-based systems, you are knowledgeable of computer systems such as Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.) and other software programs and can use them effectively.

* You love to get out there and be in the heart of operations with your team and work hard!

* You always are willing to help out and physical work isn't a problem for you…Passing by a team member struggling to lift something? Safety is your top priority, and you are willing and able to lift up to 50 pounds with or without reasonable accommodations to help your colleague and/or perform necessary job tasks.

* You understand that the company's viability and performance is directly tied to your job security, so you are willing and able to work different shifts, overtime hours and weekend work as needed to support production goals.
