GTI Fabrication is seeking a Production Manager - Modular Data Center to lead manufacturing operations for complex, build-to-order modular data center systems. This role is responsible for driving execution across electrical integration, structural assembly, and final system delivery within a fast- paced, high-growth environment.

The ideal candidate brings a strong engineering foundation, deep electrical and data center infrastructure experience, and proven leadership in managing production teams building complex systems. This individual will play a critical role in scaling operations, improving throughput, and ensuring quality, safety, and on‑time delivery.

• Lead daily production operations for modular data center builds, ensuring alignment with schedule, cost, and quality targets.
• Manage and develop a team of supervisors, electricians, and assembly technicians.
• Drive production planning, staffing, and workflow coordination across multiple work streams (electrical, mechanical, structural).
• Ensure on‑time delivery of customer programs in a high‑mix, low‑volume manufacturing environment.

• Oversee installation and integration of electrical systems including power distribution, switch gear, UPS systems, and control panels.
• Ensure compliance with NEC, UL, and data center design standards.
• Partner closely with engineering on system designs, redlines, and manufacturability improvements.
• Support commissioning, testing (FAT), and troubleshooting of electrical systems.

• Act as the bridge between Engineering, NPI, Supply Chain, and Quality to ensure seamless production execution.
• Review drawings, schematics, and BOMs to ensure production readiness.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on Lean manufacturing, process optimization, and throughput.
• Identify and resolve production bottlenecks, technical issues, and resource constraints.

• Champion a strong safety-first culture aligned with OSHA and company standards.
• Ensure adherence to quality standards and inspection processes throughout build cycles.
• Implement and maintain standard work, process controls, and documentation.
• Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions for production and quality issues.

• Track and report key production metrics including throughput, efficiency, on‑time delivery, and quality performance.
• Drive improvements in labor utilization, material flow, and production layout.
• Support scaling of manufacturing operations to meet growing demand.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical Engineering strongly preferred; Mechanical or related considered with strong electrical experience).
• 5-10+ years of experience in manufacturing, production, or operations leadership.
• Hands-on experience with electrical systems, power distribution, or industrial electrical integration.
• Background in data centers, modular systems, power systems, or mission-critical infrastructure.
• Prior leadership experience managing electricians, technicians, or skilled trades teams.
• Strong understanding of electrical codes (NEC), safety standards, and quality systems.

• Experience in modular construction, containerized systems, or prefabricated infrastructure.
• Licensed Electrician or strong field electrical background.
• Experience with data center builds, BESS systems, or power generation systems.
• Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement methodologies.
• Experience working in a high-growth or startup…
