Director of Manufacturing

We're seeking a Director of Manufacturing in Augusta, Maine to lead manufacturing operations, supply chain operations, production management, manufacturing engineering, and continuous improvement for a growing employee-owned precision manufacturer. In this senior leadership role, you'll build scalable systems, develop high-performing teams, and partner closely with company leadership to drive operational excellence and sustainable growth. This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a critical function, develop the next generation of skilled tradespeople, and create a lasting impact on both the organization and the community.

Relocating? We've Got You Covered. We know the right leader may not live in Maine today. To support a successful transition, this company offers temporary housing assistance for qualified candidates who relocate to the Augusta area, giving you time to get settled and focused on making an impact from day one. Why This Role Stands Out This isn't a role where you simply maintain existing systems.

You'll have the opportunity to:
Own manufacturing operations from scheduling and cost management Lead and develop a team of machinists, operators, engineers, technicians, and supply chain professionals Build scalable systems that support significant future growth Create training, apprenticeship, and workforce development programs that strengthen our talent pipeline Partner directly with company leadership to drive strategic growth initiatives Influence capital investments, equipment acquisitions, and operational strategy Leave a lasting mark on an organization positioned for expansion
