Production Manager

About Us: At GMT, we’re on a mission to transform organic waste into a valuable resource. Twenty percent of the United States’ methane emissions come from organic waste in landfills, equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions of over 24 million gasoline-powered vehicles annually. Instead of polluting our environment, this waste can be converted into compost, a nutrient-rich, disease-fighting, carbon- and water-sequestering soil amendment. We are passionate about fostering a thriving compost industry through innovative and accessible technology. Our commitment to sustainability drives us to help our customers save money and reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions. As the industry grows, we reinvest in our team, continuously enhancing air quality, building healthier soils, reducing landfill waste, and promoting nutritious food production for our communities. We value work-life balance, offering generous paid and unpaid time off and strong PTO benefits. Our comprehensive HSA healthcare package provides flexibility in healthcare spending. We also offer profit sharing and bonusing based on performance. About you: ·      Passionate about compost, soil health, and waste management ·      Experienced manager, providing direction and leadership·      Calm under pressure, capable of critical thinking on the spot·      A proactive communicator who isn’t afraid to share ideas, ask questions and challenge groupthink·      Highly organized with a keen eye for detail in managing multiple projects and part lists·      Adaptable and willing to embrace new challenges and responsibilities outside your comfort zone About the Role: As a Production Manager at GMT, you will oversee the team that manufactures and installs our composting equipment.
