We’re looking for a hands-on Plant Manager with 7+ years of experience running fast-paced manufacturing operations. This role reports directly to our VP of Operations and oversees our largest production site. Strong leadership is a must—this is a high-visibility role with real impact.

What You’ll Do

• Lead day-to-day plant operations—quality, safety, and production targets are your top priorities.
• Own team performance: coach, train, and hold your people accountable.
• Run lean—implement and drive continuous improvement using Lean/Six Sigma tools (belt certification is a bonus).
• Partner with vendors and manage quality issues head-on.
• Tackle scheduling, shift coverage, and production bottlenecks—may require rotating hours to cover all shifts.
• Keep an eye on the details: plant walks, audits, safety checks, and production metrics.
• Report KPIs, lead team meetings, and track key actions through completion.

What You Bring

• Proven plant leadership in a high-volume manufacturing setting.
• Experience with lean manufacturing practices.
• Strong people management—able to lead from the floor, not just from the office.
• Familiarity with vendor relationships and quality systems (ISO a plus).
• Solid problem-solving and communication skills.
• Comfortable with flexible hours and shift visibility.

Nice to Have

• Six Sigma or Lean certification.
• Background in AD environments.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
