Production Supervisor - Future Plant Manager Track at Industrial Pallet Corp – Clarks Hill, Indiana

At IPC, we don’t just manufacture pallets — we build teams, communities, and partnerships that last. Our mission is simple: to be the TEAM of CHOICE for our PEOPLE and the PARTNER of CHOICE for our CUSTOMERS. We are driven by operational excellence, safety, and the belief that strong leadership and strong culture go hand-in-hand.

You are a leader who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and takes pride in leading from the front. You enjoy developing people, holding teams accountable, and creating a culture where employees feel valued and motivated to perform at their best.

You bring a hands-on leadership style to 3rd shift recycle operations, setting the tone for safety, productivity, and teamwork. You don’t just manage processes—you build strong teams, lead with consistency, and take ownership of results.

You measure your success through safe, efficient production, high employee engagement, and low turnover—and you’re driven to continuously improve all three.
