Granite Operations Manager

If you love the idea of turning chaos into schedules, schedules into results, and results into happy customers-you might be our kind of person.

At Out of the Woods in Layton, Utah, we don't just build custom cabinetry and stone countertops-we build things that people actually live with and love. That means our Granite Operations Manager plays a huge role in making sure everything runs smoothly from fabrication to final install.

This is a role for someone who can keep the shop moving, the installs on track, and the team aligned-all while keeping quality high and rework low.

Starting Pay: $75,000

Benefits available:

• Medical, Dental, Vision
• Simple IRA
• Voluntary Life Insurance
• Up to 6 PTO days per year and 6 paid holidays

What You'll Be Running

You'll be the person making sure everything in the granite operation flows-on time, on budget, and on point.

• Own the granite production schedule and installation timelines
• Lead and support the installation team in the field and shop
• Keep jobs moving efficiently while reducing rework and "we'll fix it later" moments
• Ensure shop processes are followed-and improved (because "that's how we've always done it" is not a strategy)
• Help maintain a clean, efficient shop flow from slab to install
• Work closely with other departments to keep communication tight and projects aligned
• Drive productivity, quality, and profitability without sacrificing craftsmanship
• Step in to solve problems quickly when things don't go as planned (because they won't always go as planned)
• Support hiring, performance feedback, and team development
• Help oversee equipment, tools, and shop organization like they're your own

What You Bring to the Table

You've been around the granite, fabrication, or construction world long enough to know: details matter and timing is everything.

• 10+ years of granite or stone industry experience (with 5+ years in production or manufacturing leadership)
• Strong understanding of shop operations and installation workflows
• Proven ability to manage schedules, people, and moving parts without losing your mind
• Comfortable leading teams and holding standards without micromanaging
• Solid communication skills-you can talk to installers, office staff, and leadership without translation needed
• Problem-solver mindset (you don't panic-you fix)
• Organized, detail-oriented, and not afraid of spreadsheets or checklists
• Computer literate (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint-nothing fancy, just functional)

What It's Like Here

This is not a quiet desk job.

• You'll split time between the office, shop floor, and job sites
• You'll be moving, walking, checking, coordinating, and troubleshooting daily
• You'll be around machinery, dust, noise, and real production work
• You'll wear PPE when needed and occasionally lift up to 75 lbs (teamwork helps)
• You'll have days where everything goes right-and days where you earn your paycheck

Why This Role Matters

Because when this role is done well:

• Jobs get installed on time
• Customers stay happy
• The shop runs smoother
• And the business actually grows instead of just "staying busy"

This isn't just operations. It's ownership of how the product gets from idea → shop → home.

If you're the kind of leader who walks into a shop, spots inefficiencies in five minutes, and quietly starts fixing them... we should talk.
