Operations Manager – Manufacturing Operations

We’re partnered with a high-performing aerospace manufacturing facility that’s part of a growing, global organization supporting critical, high-spec applications. This is a stable, multibillion-dollar company with a clear trajectory. Known for its operational discipline, strong leadership team, and track record of delivering results, they’re looking to bring on two Area Managers to lead a key portion of the operations.

This is a high-impact, high-visibility leadership role where you’ll own a full production area: driving performance across safety, quality, delivery, and cost - while leading a team of supervisors and a large hourly workforce.

You’ll step into a visible leadership position with real ownership, strong internal exposure, and a clear path for growth into broader operations leadership within a large, stable organization.
