Hagersville, ON | $25.00/hour | Full-Time | Afternoon Shift – 2:30 PM Start

Ready to Take the Next Step?

Are you an experienced food manufacturing or production professional who naturally takes the lead, solves problems, and helps keep the team moving?

You may already be the person others turn to when priorities change, a problem needs to be solved, or a new employee needs some guidance. If you're ready to turn that experience into your next career opportunity, we'd like to hear from you.

3PL Inc. is currently recruiting a Production Lead Hand for a well-established food manufacturing operation in Hagersville, Ontario.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll work alongside the team while helping coordinate daily priorities, support employees, maintain production flow, and ensure quality, food safety, and workplace standards are consistently met.

• Established food manufacturing environment
• Hands-on role where you'll be an important part of the daily operation
• Opportunity to use both your people skills and technical abilities
• A strong next step for an experienced production employee ready for more responsibility

What You'll Be Doing

As the Production Lead Hand, you'll be actively involved in the operation while helping keep the team organized, informed, and on track.

• Provide hands-on leadership, guidance, and support to employees
• Help coordinate daily workflow, assignments, and operational priorities
• Work alongside the team to meet production requirements
• Communicate expectations and priorities throughout the shift
• Monitor workflow and help keep daily requirements on schedule

• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe working environment
• Lead by example and step in wherever the team needs support

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who combines strong leadership potential with hands-on manufacturing experience.

You should bring:

• Previous experience in a food manufacturing, production, or fast-paced warehouse environment
• Strong leadership skills and the confidence to provide direction and support to others
• Knowledge of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think on your feet
• Good computer proficiency
• Experience working with a Warehouse Management System (WMS)

You May Already Be a Lead Hand Without the Title

Maybe you're already the employee your coworkers turn to when something needs to get done.

You're the person who helps new employees, keeps things organized, notices when something isn't right, and isn't afraid to jump in and help solve a problem. That's who we're looking for.

You don't necessarily need years of formal supervisory experience. What matters is that you have solid manufacturing experience, good judgment, strong communication skills, and the confidence to lead from the floor while still being part of the team.

If you're ready for more responsibility and an opportunity to demonstrate what you can do, apply today.
