Our client is a fast-growing chemical manufacturing company based in the UK, expanding into the US for the first time. We manufacture, blend, and pack chemicals for customers across industries, from automotive and construction to life sciences. We’re known for our quality, flexibility, and can-do attitude.

The new Winston-Salem site is the start of something big. You’ll be joining an ambitious, family-owned company with a 50-year track record of high growth, excellent customer service, and looking after its people.

The Role

This is a rare opportunity to build a new operation from the ground up. As the first US hire, you’ll run the site, hire the team, and help shape how we grow in America.

You’ll report to the UK COO and work closely with our owner/CEO and leadership team. We’ll give you full backing and the benefit of all our experience - but this is your site to run.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the day-to-day running of our Winston-Salem facility
  • Build and manage a small but growing, high-performing team
  • Oversee production, quality, and safety standards
  • Manage contractors, suppliers, and maintenance
  • Ensure compliance with all US regulations (OSHA, EPA, etc.)
  • Drive efficiency, problem-solving, and continuous improvement
  • Represent the company with customers, auditors, suppliers, and partners

Qualifications & Experience

  • Experience leading operations or production in manufacturing
  • Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Operations Management, or a related field preferred
  • Strong understanding of EHS and quality systems (OSHA, EPA, ISO)
  • Practical, hands-on, motivating leadership style
  • A proactive self-starter who thrives in growth environments
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills are a must

What We Offer

  • The chance to lead and grow our first US site - a career-defining role
  • Competitive salary and health benefits
  • 20 days’ PTO plus 8 public holidays
  • Backing from an experienced, knowledgeable UK team
  • A collaborative culture in which good people succeed
