A Day in This Role

Your day starts on the production floor, confirming machines are ready, materials are stocked, and the schedule is locked. By mid-morning, you’re coordinating with procurement and sales to balance customer demand with capacity, then coaching team leads through bottlenecks and quality checks. Afternoons are for data: tracking throughput, costs, and safety metrics—and turning insights into continuous improvement actions. You wrap the day by aligning next-day priorities and recognizing wins across the team.

What You’ll Lead

• Production planning and scheduling: Build and manage detailed schedules to hit on-time delivery targets; anticipate constraints and adjust to resolve delays or shortages.
• Operations oversight: Direct daily machining and manufacturing activities; ensure raw materials are available and equipment is production-ready.
• Quality and safety: Uphold quality standards and safety rules; conduct inspections and facilitate ongoing safety training.
• People leadership: Recruit, train, mentor, and evaluate production staff; cultivate a safe, engaged, high-performance culture.
• Performance optimization: Analyze production data to elevate efficiency, reduce costs, and streamline workflows; drive Lean/continuous improvement initiatives.
• Reporting and metrics: Deliver clear reports on output, efficiency, and cost to senior leadership.

What You Bring

• Operations leadership: Demonstrated success leading manufacturing teams and delegating effectively.
• Problem-solving under pressure: Rapid root-cause analysis and resolution of equipment, process, or staffing issues.
• Communication: Confident collaboration with procurement, sales, leadership teams, and upper management.
• Technical fluency: Hands-on understanding of machining/production equipment and processes; experience with production planning systems and data analysis tools.
• Background: Strength in operations management, manufacturing leadership, production planning, machining, and process improvement.
