Job Description
Lead plant operations at a growing manufacturer in the greater Danbury area of CT — with direct influence over a next-generation ERP rollout and a clear path into senior leadership as the current team heads toward retirement.
Operations Manager
Location: The Greater Danbury Area, Onsite
Salary: $120,000-$140,000
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- Step into a next-generation leadership role as senior department heads approach retirement

- Gain international exposure with occasional travel to the UK for management meetings
- Broad, high-impact scope spanning production, quality, purchasing, maintenance, and supply chain
- Influence strategic planning around capacity, resource allocation, and process improvement
- Consistent, predictable schedule — 5-day work week, fully onsite
Key Responsibilities for the Operations Manager:

- Monitor production KPIs (throughput, yield, downtime, on-time delivery) and drive improvements
