JK Concepts has been delivering custom commercial architectural millwork for more than 40 years. Our work can be found in healthcare facilities, corporate offices, hospitality spaces, educational institutions, and other high-profile commercial environments across the country.

We're looking for a Plant Manager who enjoys being on the production floor, developing people, and creating an environment where quality, accountability, and teamwork thrive. This is an opportunity for a leader who understands commercial millwork manufacturing and wants to make a lasting impact—not only on production, but on the people who make it happen.

If you're energized by solving problems, improving processes, mentoring teams, and keeping production moving efficiently, we'd love to talk with you.

• Lead all day-to-day production operations, including machining, assembly, scheduling, maintenance, quality, and safety.
• Build, coach, and develop supervisors and production employees while creating a culture of accountability, respect, and teamwork.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Project Management, Purchasing, and Leadership to keep projects moving efficiently from release through shipment.
• Continuously evaluate production flow and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and eliminate bottlenecks.
• Make thoughtful adjustments to processes when needed while remaining open to new ideas and continuous improvement.
• Monitor production schedules to ensure projects are completed on time while maintaining exceptional quality standards.
• Establish performance expectations, provide coaching, and recognize employee success.
• Drive operational excellence through KPIs, production reporting, and data-driven decision making.
• Promote a safe, organized, and efficient manufacturing environment.
• Help develop future leaders by mentoring employees and encouraging professional growth.

• Seven or more years of leadership experience in commercial architectural millwork, cabinetry, casework, or wood product manufacturing.
• Proven experience leading production teams in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Strong understanding of production scheduling, workflow, quality standards, and manufacturing operations.
• A collaborative leader who enjoys developing people and building strong teams.
• Someone who is adaptable, solutions-focused, and comfortable pivoting priorities as production demands change.
• Experience driving continuous improvement initiatives and increasing operational efficiency.
• Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Financial and operational experience managing budgets, KPIs, productivity, and performance.
• Lean manufacturing experience is a plus.

We're looking for someone who leads by example and earns their team's respect through communication, consistency, and accountability. The ideal candidate is approachable, enjoys collaborating across departments, and believes the best ideas can come from anywhere on the production floor.

This is a leader who isn't afraid to make decisions, but also listens well, values input from others, and understands that building a great culture is just as important as building great products.

At JK Concepts, we believe great craftsmanship starts with great people. We've built our reputation by delivering exceptional architectural millwork while investing in the employees who make it possible.

You’ll join a company where your ideas are welcomed, your leadership is valued, and your ability to develop people will have a lasting impact. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for leaders who want to grow with us and help shape the future of our organization.

If you’re looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful difference—not just manage production,we’d love to hear from you.
