Join Our Team

Willow Tree Poultry Farm is seeking a hands-on Sanitation Supervisor – 2nd Shift to lead our sanitation team and uphold the highest standards of food safety, cleanliness, and operational excellence throughout our facility.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, enjoys leading a team, and takes pride in maintaining a clean and safe operation.

What You’ll Do

• Supervise all 2nd shift sanitation staff and activities
• Working supervisor who oversees the cleaning and sanitizing of the production facility and equipment
• Validate that work areas and equipment have been properly cleaned and sanitized using ATP testing – not just visual inspection – before release for production
• Conduct and coordinate the end-of-shift pre-operational (pre-op) inspection; do not release equipment or production lines for next-day startup until they pass
• Mix, apply, and verify sanitation chemical concentrations correctly (titration/test strips), follow Safety Data Sheet (SDS) requirements, and enforce proper PPE use
• Ensure accurate, legible, real-time completion of SSOP records, daily sanitation checklists, and ATP logs, and execute the periodic deep-clean tasks on the Master Sanitation Schedule (MSS)
• Ensure sanitation schedules align with production needs
• Train and coach sanitation employees through hands-on leadership
• Monitor labor hours and approve employee time records
• Ensure compliance with food safety, GMP, and company sanitation standards
• Troubleshoot sanitation, equipment, and staffing issues
• Communicate about equipment, maintenance, and supply needs to management
• Assign staff appropriately to ensure quality and efficiency

What You Bring

• 2–3+ years of sanitation, manufacturing, or leadership experience preferred
• Strong leadership and communication skills
• Ability to work hands-on in a production environment
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to food safety
• Understanding of cleaning validation versus cleaning itself; experience using an ATP testing device (luminometer) to verify sanitation is a plus
• Ability to prioritize tasks and solve problems quickly
• High school diploma or equivalent required
• CFS and OSHA 10 certifications preferred
• Knowledge of lockout/tagout (LOTO) and safe equipment disassembly and reassembly
• Familiarity with environmental monitoring, zone-based cleaning, and responding to presumptive Listeria positives in a ready-to-eat (RTE) environment preferred
• Multilingual skills are a plus 

Physical & Work Environment

• Work in refrigerated production environments for extended periods
• Ability to lift 50+ lbs regularly
• Comfortable standing, walking, climbing, and operating equipment
• Ability to safely operate tools, forklifts, and sanitation equipment

Schedule & Expectations

• Full-time, 2nd Shift
• 3:00 PM until finish
• 8–10-hour shifts, 5–6 days per week
• Occasional Saturdays and on-call coverage may be required
• Strong attendance and reliability are essential

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Stable, growing family-owned company
• Team-oriented environment with hands-on leadership
• Opportunity to make a direct impact on food safety and operations
