This dynamic team is designing and building our newly expanded facility and executing exciting new projects like installing our new sauce line, equipment upgrades and more! If you are a planner at heart with enthusiasm for the problem solving and planning that come with scoping and executing projects that elevate Torani’s capacity and efficiency, then we’re looking for you!\n\nWhether its trouble shooting on the automated sauce making process, designing process controls, or training our teams, you are a fanatic about making our operations more productive and you do so with a holistic (and fun!) approach. As our operation continues to grow more complex so do the challenges we face, and you will help solve even the most complicated problems. Each solution you implement will support our high standards of safety, quality, and efficiency.\n\nWhy You’ll Love Working at Torani: At Torani, we flavor more than just drinks - we flavor lives. As a proud Certified B Corporation, we’re committed to using business as a force for good. You’ll be part of a team that leads with heart, lifts each other up, and works together to build something bigger. We’re growing fast, and we want people who grow with us, people who lead with purpose, learn with curiosity, and love what they do.\n\nSUCCESS FACTORS (First 12-24 Months)\nProcess Engineering: With the successful launch of Torani’s new sauce processing and packaging line, you ran critical initiatives that supported both the startup phase and the ongoing enhancement of sauce productivity. During production startup, you led the validation of our programming control logic and hardware functionality, ensuring alignment with Torani’s quality standards in close collaboration with the Manufacturing and QA teams. Leveraging your technical expertise, you provided sustained support and guided the team from initial ramp-up to stable, optimized operations. As production challenges emerged, you applied root cause analysis methodologies to identify issues and implement effective solutions that drove continuous performance improvements.\nProject Manager: You played an active, hands-on role in scaling this high-impact operation. You set a high standard through your contributions and structured approach— assisting with the development of comprehensive project plans, managing budgets, assembling project teams, and successfully delivering complex projects on time. As a hands-on project manager, you led the execution of a range of capital projects, from small upgrades to large-scale initiatives. This included actively managing construction efforts, collaborating with contractor leadership to establish and maintain schedules, while accounting for facility constraints and ensuring alignment with operational needs. For each project, you ensured the right inputs were in place, set realistic timelines, secured the necessary resources, and established a clear communication plan, cash flow forecast, and training assessment prior to implementation.\nFacility Optimization: As construction moved ahead for the first phase of our new sauce plant you balanced execution of the project timeline with managing other key productivity initiatives with the engineering team. You took the lead running several projects to improve Torani’s plant sustainability and wastewater compliance, based on our high standards as a proudly Certified B Corporation. From standardization of waste processes to driving key initiatives that support sanitation operations, you’ll be at the center of it all helping us blend flavor with responsibility.\nHave FUN\nWhat You’ll Bring:\n3+ years’ Process Engineering experience in the Food and Beverage industry\nB.S.
