Lead Production. Develop Leaders. Drive Manufacturing Excellence.

American Made Solutions is recruiting an experienced Manufacturing Operations Manager for an established industrial manufacturing operation in Carrollton, Georgia.

We're seeking a proven manufacturing leader who knows how to manage production teams, improve operational performance, and maintain high standards for safety, quality, and productivity.

This is a hands-on leadership opportunity for someone who understands the challenges of running a manufacturing facility and has the experience to lead supervisors, coordinate production activities, and keep operations moving efficiently during overnight hours.

We're looking for an operations leader who can manage people, processes, and production—not simply oversee a single manufacturing line.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Manufacturing Operations & Production Management

• Oversee nightly manufacturing activities to ensure production goals, quality standards, and customer delivery commitments are achieved.
• Provide leadership and direction to production supervisors and manufacturing personnel.
• Coordinate production schedules, staffing, material availability, and workflow priorities.
• Monitor manufacturing output and identify opportunities to improve productivity and operational efficiency.
• Work with maintenance, quality, and other departments to resolve equipment, process, and production challenges.
• Ensure effective communication between supervisors, departments, and leadership teams.
• Support production planning and adjustments to accommodate changing manufacturing demands.

Leadership & Employee Development

• Lead, coach, and develop production supervisors and manufacturing teams.
• Establish clear performance expectations and hold teams accountable for results.
• Support staffing decisions, workforce planning, employee development, and performance management.
• Ensure company policies and operational procedures are applied consistently.
• Promote teamwork, strong communication, and a culture of accountability.
• Address personnel challenges and support effective problem-solving across the operation.

Quality, Safety & Continuous Improvement

• Drive initiatives to reduce scrap, rework, waste, and manufacturing inefficiencies.
• Partner with quality personnel to investigate production defects and customer concerns.
• Identify root causes of operational problems and implement sustainable corrective actions.
• Reinforce safe manufacturing practices and established workplace procedures.
• Support process improvements that strengthen product consistency, throughput, and operational reliability.
• Monitor production performance and take action when results fall below expectations.

Operational Planning & Resource Management

• Evaluate staffing requirements and coordinate labor resources to support production needs.
• Monitor the effective use of materials, equipment, and manufacturing resources.
• Support production scheduling, product flow, and on-time delivery performance.
• Balance productivity, quality, labor utilization, and operating costs.
• Communicate production results, challenges, and priorities to plant leadership.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Management, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Previous manufacturing operations experience with responsibility for production performance and personnel.
• Demonstrated leadership experience managing production teams, supervisors, or manufacturing departments.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing workflows, production scheduling, and operational performance.
• Experience managing labor, materials, and manufacturing costs.
• Ability to troubleshoot production challenges and make sound operational decisions.
• Strong communication, interpersonal, organizational, and time-management skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications.
• Ability to prioritize multiple operational demands in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Availability to work overnight hours in an on-site manufacturing leadership role.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience managing multiple production departments or manufacturing processes.
• Background in cable manufacturing or other industrial production environments.
• Experience leading supervisors and coordinating cross-functional teams.
• Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, continuous improvement, and waste reduction.
• Demonstrated success improving production efficiency, reducing scrap, and strengthening on-time delivery performance.
