Area Manager, Production - Menasha Packaging

I have several job descriptions for degreed graduates…Buyer, Customer Service Rep and Program Coordinator.  (Customer Service Rep does not require a degree, but it is preferred.)  We also would have an interest in graduates of the Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology program.  These grads could fit into Production and Maintenance Management training positions.  We would also consider intern programs in that degree area.
