• Develop, coach, and mentor supervisors and operational leadership teams
• Partner cross-functionally with engineering, quality, supply chain, HR, and finance teams to support business objectives
• Foster a culture centered around accountability, teamwork, servant leadership, and continuous improvement

Environment:
• Mid-sized manufacturing operation with a strong operational foundation
• Modern production environment with significant investment in equipment and infrastructure
• Diverse industrial manufacturing processes supporting a highly operational business
• Strong existing leadership team and stable workforce already in place
• Opportunity to further improve operational systems, KPI visibility, and continuous improvement initiatives

Candidate Profile:
• Hands-on manufacturing leader with a strong presence on the production floor
• 5+ years experience in plant operations, production management, or manufacturing leadership within an industrial environment
• Proven experience driving performance across safety, quality, delivery, productivity, and cost
• Experience leading supervisors and hourly production teams in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
• Strong continuous improvement background with exposure to Lean manufacturing, Kaizen, and process improvement initiatives
• Ability to drive accountability, improve processes, and support operational execution across the facility
• Experience within fabrication, metals, welding, or other industrial manufacturing environments preferred
