Production Manager

GTI is a contract manufacturing partner supporting customers in renewable energy, power generation, infrastructure, and industrial systems.

We fabricate custom designed, purpose-built enclosures and skids for our customers and perform mechanical and electrical integration in-house, delivering a true turn-key product to our customers. Our scope spans Engineering, prototype builds, through full production, requiring teams that can move fast, adapt, and execute with precision.

GTI Values:
Safety I Quality I Customer Obsession I Speed I Agility

We're hiring a Production Manager to own the shop floor for one of our manufacturing value streams — from the moment material is released to the moment a finished product ships. This is a hands-on leadership role with real visibility: you ll run production day to day, and you ll be the connective tissue between production and the teams around it — fabrication, welding, engineering, and quality — without those functions reporting to you directly.

If you re a strong production leader who wants more scope, more cross-functional influence, and a direct line to outcomes, this is that next step.

• Run daily production operations for your value stream — staffing, scheduling, throughput, and output — from material release through final shipment
• Lead and develop production supervisors and their teams across a 25–100+ person production organization, building accountability-driven frontline leadership
• Own the safety, quality, delivery, and cost performance of production within your value stream
• Drive manufacturing readiness for new product introductions, working ahead of ramp to catch issues before they hit the floor
• Identify and remove production bottlenecks; run Lean tools like value stream mapping and Kaizen events to keep work moving
• Maintain OSHA compliance and lead a visible, hands-on safety culture on the floor

Day to day, you ll coordinate closely with:

• Metal Fabrication — sequencing and hand-offs into production
• Welding Operations — scheduling and quality hand-offs
• Mechanical & Final Assembly — flow and staging
• Manufacturing Engineering — process changes and NPI readiness
• Quality Operations — closing the loop on defects and rework
• Material Flow / Supply Chain — inbound timing and shortages

You re the person who makes sure a job moves cleanly from one discipline to the next — resolving the friction between teams so nothing stalls on the floor.

• 7–10 years in manufacturing leadership, including experience directly managing production supervisors
• Background in contract manufacturing (EMS, industrial, or engineered-to-order environments)
• Working knowledge of metal fabrication, welding, and assembly operations — you don t need to have run these functions, but you need to speak the language
• Lean manufacturing fundamentals (value stream mapping, Kaizen, root-cause problem solving)
• Comfortable working in an ERP/MRP system (SAP a plus, not required)

• Experience with complex, engineered-to-order products — modular data centers, battery energy storage systems, power distribution, or electrical enclosures
• Bachelor s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, or Operations Management

We are particularly interested in leaders who have manufactured complex integrated products such as:

• Modular Data Centers
• Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
• Power Distribution Equipment
• Electrical Enclosures
• Switchgear
• Industrial Equipment
• Energy Infrastructure
• Modular Power Systems
• Engineered Industrial Assemblies
