We're partnering with an established, growth-focused precision manufacturer looking to add a Manufacturing Manager to its leadership team. This is a high-impact position responsible for driving operational performance across the manufacturing floor while developing people, improving processes, and ensuring the business continues to scale efficiently.

• Enjoy significant visibility across Production, Engineering, Quality, Maintenance, and Supply Chain while making a direct impact on company performance.
• Play a major role in continuous improvement initiatives, capital investments, and long-term operational planning.
• Join a stable, growing manufacturer that continues to invest in its people, technology, and future growth.
