Ecopool Hiring for Operations Plant Manager (EcoFactory Texas) Job at Salado, TX Full Time

Ecopool, a Central Texas based company, has created a swimming pool manufacturing system compatible with scalable automobile-style factory mass production. Protected by 7+ patent filings and growing, each pool is obsessively designed to the high standards and built to last for generations.

We started by developing a swimming pool from a clean sheet of paper. Ecopool is a new shipping container based swimming pool with patent-pending modules that connect to form custom pools, from small to large. This new way of thinking will soon disrupt the massive and outdated billion dollar pool construction market.

We are a small team today but this will soon change. Today, we have two manufacturing sites in Georgetown, Texas but will soon open a new 60 acre site in Central Texas. Here we are building the nation’s largest swimming pool factory. Additionally, we have recently secured a location in Brenham, Texas.
