Truss Production Manager - High-Impact Manufacturing Leadership Opportunity

Seeking a Truss Production Manager who can step in, take ownership, and drive production performance in a fast-paced structural component manufacturing environment. This is a critical leadership role for someone who thrives on accountability, production flow, and building strong teams while keeping safety and quality at the forefront.

This opportunity is ideal for a hands-on leader who understands truss manufacturing and wants the ability to make immediate operational impact.

Why This Role Stands Out
  • High-visibility leadership position with direct influence on production performance
  • Opportunity to implement process improvements and drive measurable results
  • Strong collaboration with design, sales, and operations leadership
  • Long-term growth potential within a stable and expanding organization
What You'll Be Responsible For

Production Execution
  • Lead daily roof and floor truss manufacturing operations to meet aggressive production schedules
  • Identify bottlenecks and implement workflow improvements to maximize throughput
  • Ensure orders are produced accurately and shipped on time
Team Leadership
  • Build, coach, and develop production teams and supervisors
  • Set clear expectations around performance, safety, and accountability
  • Adjust staffing and production flow based on workload demands
Quality & Safety
  • Maintain strict adherence to engineered drawings and quality standards
  • Drive a strong safety culture across the production floor
  • Lead safety meetings and reinforce best practices daily
Operational Improvement
  • Reduce waste and improve labor efficiency through process discipline
  • Partner with leadership on production planning and operational strategy
  • Support preventative maintenance to keep equipment running efficiently
Materials & Cost Awareness
  • Monitor material usage and production costs
  • Coordinate with purchasing to maintain proper inventory levels
What We're Looking For
  • Experience leading production in a truss plant or structural component manufacturing environment
  • Strong understanding of production scheduling and workflow management
  • Proven ability to lead teams in a fast-moving manufacturing setting
  • Knowledge of blueprint reading and engineered component production
  • Process-driven mindset with a focus on efficiency and accountability
Preferred:
  • Experience with MiTek or similar truss software platforms
  • Lean manufacturing or continuous improvement exposure
Work Environment
  • Manufacturing setting with exposure to noise, moving equipment, and production activity
  • Ability to be active on the production floor throughout the day
