At DuPont Memcor, we manufacture world-leading water filtration technology that helps communities access clean and sustainable water solutions. We're looking for a passionate and capable Shift Manager to join our leadership team and play a key role in shaping safety culture, operational performance and continuous improvement across our South Windsor manufacturing site.

This is more than a production leadership role. It's an opportunity to influence culture, develop people, solve complex operational challenges and make a real impact on business performance every day.

Why Join Us?

Outside these hours, you become the key operational leader responsible for the site, making decisions, leading teams and responding to operational challenges as they arise.

For the right person, this represents an outstanding opportunity to further develop their leadership capability and gain exposure to all aspects of manufacturing operations.
