Assistant Yard Manager
About This Role
You’ll split your time between the yard and the road. Half the job is keeping the plant running — scheduling staff, managing safety, and moving product. The other half is driving: delivering goods to local farms and customers. You don’t just give orders. You load trucks, jump in when work piles up, and help the team finish strong every day. If that sounds like you, we’d love to talk.
