Plant Manager - Manufacturing (Fort Worth, TX)
Location: Fort Worth, Texas
Compensation: $175,000 - $200,000 base + STI + benefits
Role Overview
We are seeking a Plant Manager to lead a manufacturing operation in a dynamic, growth-oriented environment.
This is not a traditional steady-state role. You will be responsible for building structure, stabilizing operations, and scaling performance across a facility where systems and processes are still evolving.
Success requires comfort working in environments where priorities shift, work is not fully standardized, and solutions often need to be created-not followed.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead overall plant performance across Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, and People (SQDCP)
- Manage manufacturing operations including machining, welding, fabrication, assembly, and sustainment
- Own supply chain performance: suppliers, cost, inventory, and risk management
- Lead manufacturing engineering: process design, tooling, work instructions, NPI, and CI
- Drive production planning, capacity management, and operational flow
- Oversee workforce planning, capability development, and plant scaling
- Optimize facility layout, material flow, and equipment strategy
- Support make-vs-buy decisions and supplier development
- Building operational structure where none exists
- Creating predictable execution in a changing environment
- Scaling throughput, efficiency, and capability
- Developing a strong, accountable, high-performing team
- Builder + Operator mindset (can create systems and then run them)
- Comfort working in ambiguity and non-standardized environments
- Strong systems thinking across manufacturing, engineering, and supply chain
- Resourceful operator in lean environments with practical decision-making
- Direct, clear leadership style that drives accountability and trust
- Growth-oriented leader with potential for broader enterprise leadership
- 10+ years in manufacturing / operations leadership
- Multi-disciplinary leadership (Production, Supply Chain, Engineering)
- Experience scaling or standing up operations or facilities
- Machining, welding, fabrication, and assembly experience
- Lean manufacturing / continuous improvement background
- ERP/MRP system experience
- Strong supplier and procurement management experience
- Aerospace, Defense, Automotive, or Industrial OEM environments
