Line Lead

Willoughby, OH | Full-Time

Farm Fresh Flavor, Made Easy.

At Paisley Farm, we make the bean salads and pickled vegetables that land on dinner tables across the country. We’re part of The Fremont Company, family-owned since 1905, and we’re looking for a Line Lead who wants to run the show.

You’re the one the crew looks to. You fire up the line every morning, keep it humming all shift, and jump into any station when the team needs you. If you like being on your feet, solving problems, and seeing real product roll off the line because of your leadership, this is your job.

• Troubleshoot equipment and partner with Maintenance
• Walk the line to keep quality and safety on point
• Train and coach new team members
• Keep the floor audit-ready and production records accurate

What You Bring

• Food or manufacturing production experience; lead or trainer experience a plus

• Forklift certification (or ability to get it)

• A sharp eye for quality and safety
• High school diploma or equivalent
