Shift Manager - Manufacturing

Location: Blanchardstown

Krispy Kreme is looking for two experienced Shift Managers to lead the manufacturing operations and drive performance on shift.

This is a hands‑on leadership role where you’ll take full accountability for safety, quality, productivity and people performance. As the most senior leader on site in the absence of the Country Manager, you will ensure the shift runs smoothly from start to finish.

At Krispy Kreme, it’s not just a job it’s being part of a team that spreads joy every day! As one of our Krispy Kremers, you’ll enjoy:
