Plant Manager - Net Zero Modular Construction

About Reframe Systems

Reframe Systems is on a mission to build resilient housing for all, at massive scale. We are replacing the fragmented, trade-by-trade construction model with a vertically integrated, software-driven manufacturing system. Our volumetric module platform and agile microfactory in the greater Boston area build homes faster, cheaper, and with lower embodied carbon than conventional construction. We are backed by leading VC firms in the industrial and construction space, and we have a national scaling roadmap underway.

We are looking for a Plant Manager to run the floor of our microfactory and own the daily execution that turns our production plan into finished homes. This is the person the build team looks to every day, the one who holds the line between what the company has committed to and what actually gets built on the floor.

We are at a scaling inflection. Over the next year we move from our prototype facility in Andover to a 100,000 square foot factory in Billerica, grow direct labor from around 20 to 80 or more, and step up output from roughly 10 homes in the last year to 40 to 50 in the next, on a path to far higher volume after that.

We need an operator who has built and run a production floor through exactly this kind of ramp, and who runs toward a floor that is short a leader rather than away from it.

This is a hands‑on, on‑the‑floor role. You own daily production, the people who build, and the operating rhythm that keeps quality, safety, and schedule on track. Your job is to run a floor that performs today and gets more capable every week.

You report to the Head of Operations. Until that role is filled, you report to a member of Reframe's executive team.

• Own daily production on the floor: hit the weekly build plan, keep modules moving on takt, and clear the constraints that slow the line.

• Lead the floor's full production team, including the production managers, area managers, and leads, and be the single point of leadership the team relies on day to day so that no one person on the floor is a single point of failure.

• Run the daily management system: morning huddles, tiered check‑ins, and visual management the team actually understands and owns.

• Hold area and team leads accountable to weekly targets that step down along the efficiency glidepath, and give them the support to hit them.

• Drive throughput toward our targets and improve labor efficiency by working the lowest‑performing processes first.

• Deliver a quality product. Own the in‑process and line checks, catch and correct defects on the floor, and build every module to standard.

• Lead safety on the floor day to day. Run safety walks, close out action items, and build a culture where working safely is how the floor operates.

• Own schedule reliability and on‑time module completion for active projects.

• Build the supervision and shift structure the floor needs as the team grows from around 20 to 80 or more.

• Recruit, onboard, and develop builders and leads, and grow technicians into leaders the way good operators do, through real scope and candid feedback.

• Partner with HR and Recruiting on the high‑volume hourly hiring and onboarding the ramp requires.

• Set clear expectations and a floor culture that takes pride in what it ships.

• Help stand up the Billerica facility, from floor layout and work cell design through commissioning and first article, and lead the production team through the move.

• Establish the daily operating system at the new facility so it performs from the start rather than relearning what we already know.

• Translate the production plan into staffing, training, and floor readiness on an accelerated timeline.

• Be a power user and requirements partner for our internal factory software team. You set the floor's requirements and you live in the tools every day.

• Run standard work and continuous improvement on the floor, and partner with our operational excellence function to make the factory more capable every week.

• Manage from the data the…
