Assistant Operations Manager (Reconditioning)

Background and Responsibilities

Since its foundation in 1991, SCHÜTZ CONTAINER SYSTEMS has developed the largest IBC production network in the US, and is recognized as not only the leader in sustainable packaging, but also as a benchmark innovator. Today, in our 13 production locations, more than 1000 employees are active in the field of next-generation packaging solutions. With emphasis on quality, flexibility and innovation we set the benchmark in our markets – starting with the utilization of a sophisticated quality management system in our production processes.

SCS reconditioning services is a value added service that encompasses the economic and ecological retrieval and reconditioning of used industrial packaging. All reconditioning facilities are equipped with state-of-the art “green” technology and all procedures applied are ecologically sustainable. The Reconditioning Services group (RS) handles the multi-faceted process of the return of empty plastic containers from the consumer's facility through to the resale of a reconditioned unit. This process involves multiple steps including marketing the program, educating the consumer on return stipulations, organizing the logistics and tracking of returns, administrative functions, and providing superior customer service through the process. Once the unit is returned to one of our reconditioning facilities each container is extensively examined to determine if it can be reconditioned in its entirety or if some part of it must be repaired or replaced. Cleaned units are sold, generally on the wholesale market, to manufacturers for transport of their product. Parts which have been graded as not reusable in the unit are recycled as plastic regrind or scrap metal. There are multiple departments involved to ensure that the Reconditioning Services Group operates successfully, effectively, and profitably.
