Dry Plant Manager - Frac Sand Production

Dry Plant Manager – Frac Sand Production Plant | Ohio

Run the Plant That Keeps America's Wells Flowing

Brand-new frac sand facility. Brand-new equipment. Zero bad habits to unlearn.

We're standing up a new dry plant in Ohio, and we're looking for the person who will own it — dryers, screens, conveyors, storage, loadout, and every ton of finished sand that leaves the scale. If you've ever walked a plant and thought "I'd run this differently," this is the job where you actually get to.

What You'll Own

You'll run the dry side end to end: drying, screening, conveying, storage, loadout, and finished product quality — safely, efficiently, and on spec. You'll lead the dry plant crew, set the pace on production, coordinate maintenance, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with Wet Plant, Quality Control, and Logistics to hit production goals and customer specs every single load.

A Day in the Job

• Operational Leadership — Direct daily dry plant operations across dryers, screens, conveyors, bucket elevators, storage systems, and loadout. Hit production goals while maximizing uptime.
• Team Management — Lead, train, coach, and develop your operators. Build a culture where safety and accountability aren't posters on a wall. Schedule to demand and grow your people.
• Production Management — Track throughput, moisture, equipment utilization, downtime, and product quality. Partner with the Wet Plant Manager to keep flow consistent and the plant optimized.
• Quality Control — Own moisture, gradation, and contamination specs. Investigate quality concerns and close them out with real corrective action.
• Maintenance Coordination — Prioritize repairs, schedule PMs, and push equipment reliability up and downtime down.
• Safety & Compliance — Hold the line on MSHA Part 46, environmental regs, and company policy. Inspections, hazard assessments, incident investigations — you set the standard.
• Continuous Improvement — Find the efficiency, the reliability, the cost takeout. Support automation, upgrades, and standardized procedures.
• Inventory & Loadout — Oversee finished product storage, inventory accuracy, and loadout. Coordinate with Logistics so every shipment goes out safe, full, and on time.
• Communication & Reporting — Keep production, maintenance, quality, and safety records tight. Brief the Plant Manager and keep the whole site rowing together.
