As the Senior Production Manager of the MDI (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate) unit, you will lead the production team in safely and efficiently producing the various MDI products within specifications, on budget and ensuring compliance with our safety regulations and environmental permits. The MDI value chain in Geismar is currently experiencing significant growth, with new assets starting up in 2026.

A big focus is currently on effectively utilizing the training roles to develop detailed and clear plans to achieve the necessary qualifications and training, coaching, and developmental opportunities for operators to run the existing plants and prepare for the new investments. Developing a pipeline of future shift supervisors, production supervisors and production specialists will be a key aspect of this role in order to prepare and implement succession plans. In line with this, you will participate in recruiting, interviewing, and selection of employees, as well as conducting performance management reviews with your staff.
- Drawing on your past production experiences to support process optimization activities, participating and communicating in the macro production planning and scheduling (S&OP) process, interfacing with Supply Chain and supporting Quality and ISO processes.
- Utilizing your strong organizational skills to support implementation and follow-up on maintenance processes, outages, pit-stops and larger turnarounds (long-term depreciated TARs).
- Bachelor’s degree in Chemical or other technical field
- 10+ years of experience working either in production or supporting production at a Chemical, Petrochemical, or refining manufacturing environment
- 5+ years of experience supervising a team. (Preferred: Production, maintenance, engineering, or projects unit/department with a minimum 20+ employees)
