Rio Valley Biofuels is seeking a strong, decisive leader to assume full operational command of a modern, PLC-automated biodiesel facility in El Paso with significant scale: daily production capability of 50,000 gallons, delivering a monthly finished output of 1.5 million gallons at full run-rate.

• Reliability, continuous improvement, and process enhancements that directly drive EBITDA growth

Finished product sales are handled at the corporate level — your sole focus is operational excellence and bottom-line results.

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience as Plant Manager, Operations Manager, or equivalent in manufacturing (biofuels, chemicals, refining, or similar continuous/process industries strongly preferred)
• Demonstrated success leading diverse technical and hourly teams to deliver consistent, measurable performance
• Solid mechanical knowledge — particularly with pumps, boilers, filtration systems, and PLC-based automation
• Objective, goal-driven leader who excels with data, accountability, and performance turnarounds
• Willingness to live in or relocate to El Paso (relocation assistance provided for top candidates, no sponsorship)

If you're a hands-on leader who thrives on the plant floor, tackles complex process challenges, and wants direct financial upside tied to the profit you generate, let's connect.  This position reports direlty to the COO with meaningful incentive potential based on EBITDA performance.
