Job Description
Plant Manager
Location: Sarjapur Road, Bengaluru
Experience: 8-10 years in food manufacturing / FMCG / processing
Salary: Competitive, based on experience
Industry: Food Manufacturing / Staples / D2C
Employment Type: Full-Time
Start Date: Immediate
Reporting To: Founders
Who We Are
Mill Story is a food manufacturing company focused on freshly milled staples.
We run a small-batch production setup using slow stone milling, supported by structured quality systems and lab testing.
The plant operates with tight control over process, hygiene, and consistency — because product quality depends directly on how the plant is run.
This setup requires tighter control and more involvement than conventional high-speed milling operations.
Role Objective
You will be responsible for running the plant end-to-end.
From output and quality to people and process, you will ensure everything operates with consistency and control.
Every batch that leaves the plant should reflect the standards you uphold.
Key Responsibilities
- Own daily plant operations: milling, blending, packing, dispatch
- Ensure adherence to food safety systems (HACCP, GMP, ISO 22000)
- Maintain batch-level consistency in quality and output
- Build and execute production plans aligned with demand
- Lead and manage shop-floor teams (operators, packers, helpers)
- Reduce downtime, wastage, and process variability
- Ensure equipment uptime and preventive maintenance
- Maintain hygiene, pest control, and audit readiness
- Track core metrics: yield, losses, throughput, rejections
- Coordinate with sourcing, QC, and dispatch
- Ensure consistency in a low-speed, small-batch production environment where process control is critical
What This Role Demands
- Ownership mindset — not supervision
- Strong process discipline and execution ability
- High attention to detail — deviations are not acceptable
- Ability to manage people firmly and fairly
- Comfort in a fast-moving, evolving setup
Eligibility
- 8-10 years of experience in food manufacturing / FMCG / processing
- Experience as Plant Manager / Production Manager / Factory Head
- Strong understanding of HACCP, GMP, hygiene systems
- Hands-on experience in plant operations and production planning
- Experience with packaging lines and equipment
- Grain, flour, or food processing experience preferred
Why Join Mill Story
- Full ownership of plant operations
- Build a high-standard manufacturing system from the ground up
- Direct impact on product quality and brand trust
- Work directly with founders who are hands-on and care deeply about how every batch is made
