Make a Meaningful Impact

Are you an experienced warehousing professional looking for a purpose-driven career where your leadership directly changes lives? At Utah Correctional Industries (UCI), a division of the Department of Corrections, we do more than manage operations—we build pathways to successful community reentry. As a Correctional Industry Program Specialist, you will play a pivotal role in guiding, mentoring, and equipping incarcerated individuals with real-world workforce skills, professional discipline, and personal accountability.

We foster a collaborative culture centered on professional growth, positive attitudes, and great teamwork. If you are customer-focused, highly motivated, and passionate about workforce development and rehabilitation, we invite you to lead with us.

• Drive Warehousing & Logistics Operations: Serve as a trade specialist leading daily warehousing, delivery, installation, and general construction activities within Utah Correctional Industries. 

• Lead & Supervise Work Crews: Function as a first-line supervisor/foreman, directing and mentoring inmate work crews and staff to achieve high-quality project and program goals.

• Empower Pre-Release Offenders: Provide hands-on vocational training, skill development, and valuable work experience to offenders in the pre-release program, preparing them for successful workforce reintegration.

• Champion Safety & Security Standards: Ensure full compliance with safety and environmental guidelines, maintaining rigorous adherence to OSHA, EPA, and correctional security standards.

• Optimize Operational Excellence: Inspect materials and products, monitor production standards, track operational data (time, production, cost records), and deliver reports that drive program success.
