Production Manager

Description

Are you a driven production leader who thrives on optimizing processes, developing talent, and ensuring that every product leaving the floor reflects excellence?

We’re looking for a Production Manager who will play a key role in shaping the performance, culture, and continuous improvement of our manufacturing operations.

In this role, you’ll oversee daily production activities across Oven Production and collaborate closely with multiple departments. You’ll be the central force ensuring that safety, quality, delivery, productivity, and 5S standards are consistently met — and continuously improved.

This is more than a management role; it’s an opportunity to influence processes, mentor teams, and directly support the efficiency and success of our production environment.

• Lead Oven Production operations, coordinating and directing daily activities to meet—all while elevating—production targets.
• Establish work schedules, assignments, and priorities that align with production requirements, labor availability, and equipment readiness.
• Verify and interpret production requirements, including schedules, blueprints, job orders, and company procedures.
• Champion equipment care, ensuring tools, machines, and the production area are well maintained and compliant with all cleanliness and safety standards.
• Drive performance and motivation, recommending and implementing improvements in production methods, equipment performance, product quality, and employee engagement.
• Support onboarding and employee development, demonstrating equipment operations and work procedures to new team members.
• Inspect materials, equipment, and products to identify defects or malfunctions and coordinate corrective actions.
• Enforce all safety regulations, proactively communicating hazards and collaborating with the Safety Coordinator.
• Uphold company policies and implement fair and consistent discipline in coordination with Human Resources.
• Coach, mentor, and grow employees, providing timely evaluations and fostering professional development.
• Analyze process data to identify trends, deviations, and improvement opportunities.
• Assist in troubleshooting production and equipment issues, implementing fixes and long-term solutions.
• Champion continuous improvement through Lean, Six Sigma, and other optimization initiatives.
• Ensure quality compliance with in-process testing and adherence to control standards.
• Document all production activities accurately in logs, batch records, or digital systems.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineers and leadership to support the introduction of new procedures or equipment.

• At least 5 years of manufacturing experience, including 5+ years in a supervisory or leadership position.
• Strong English communication skills — able to read, write, speak, and understand clearly.
• Proficiency with PCs and related software.
• Effective communication, leadership, and team-management abilities.
• Ability and willingness to work a split-shift schedule.

• Ability to lift 20 lbs. regularly and up to 50 lbs. as needed.
• Comfortable standing or sitting for extended periods.
• Strong interpersonal, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to lead in a collaborative, team-based environment.
• Good hand–eye coordination and the physical capability to reach, twist, bend, squat, push, pull, and climb throughout the workday.

Willingness to work in conditions that may include seasonal temperature changes, variable noise levels, and occasional exposure to chemicals, with appropriate protective equipment provided.

If you’re ready to make a measurable impact, mentor a growing team, and help us build a world-class manufacturing operation, we’d love to hear from you.
