- Each year, you’ll complete development that’s relevant to help you continue sharpening your skills and preparing for future leadership opportunities.
‘I couldn’t have found a more perfect fit’
Colin just wrapped up his first full year at Schreiber as a Production Supervisor, and he says he couldn’t have found a more perfect fit.
“It’s been a really good year,” Colin said. “I don’t think it could get any better in terms of job responsibilities, coworkers, pay and benefits. I love my job, and I’m happy I was able to find something I enjoy right out of college.”
Operations Leaders are on the front line interacting with partners from different areas and helping teams work through challenging situations, like a production line going down.
Colin arrives at the plant about 4:45 p.m. so he can be on the floor by 5 p.m.
“I make my way around the production floor, get an update on all fillers that are running and get prepared for meetings with my team of partners,” Colin said.
His 12-hour night shift is filled with paperwork, preparing production reports, troubleshooting with partners and spending a lot of time walking the floor to make sure partners have what they need to run yogurt smoothly.
One of the exciting things about this role is the ability to relocate every couple of years to see many different plants and processes.
It sounds simple, but Colin’s best advice to anyone – especially those in a leadership role – is to “just be yourself.”
“If you feel comfortable being yourself at work, you’re going to enjoy your time here more,” Colin said. “If you feel like you have to put on a mask or be someone different, it will take a toll on you mentally and physically.”
