Job Description

We're excited to announce an opening for a Plant Controller II at our Centerville, IA facility! Curious what life's like around here? Centerville, Ottumwa, Albia, and even Kirksville, MO have a lot to offer. Think small-town friendliness, quick commutes, affordable homes, and neighborhoods where folks actually know each other. Grab groceries and you'll probably see a neighbor-most people wave. On weekends, you might go fishing at Rathbun Lake, catch a high school football game, or stroll through historic downtowns. Centerville is tight-knit and welcoming. Ottumwa is just up the road with plenty of shops, healthcare, and a growing arts and dining scene. Albia has that classic small-town charm, and Kirksville, just over the border, brings all the perks of a college town.
