We’re hiring a Build Manager (BM) to work closely with the Head of Manufacturing (HOM) and help keep our shop running smoothly. In this hands‑on leadership role, the BM is responsible for making sure daily work stays on track in the build department. This role focuses on real‑time floor management—coordinating resources, priorities, tracking progress, enforcing timelines, ensuring budget is attained, solving roadblocks, and making sure things are up to spec.

This role plays a key part in daily execution, staff development, and keeping shop operations running efficiently and safely.

You’ll be the driving force to ensure work not only in build, but across the manufacturing teams stays on schedule and build team has the runway they need to succeed. You’ll oversee projects as they move department to department, tracking progress closely to ensure deliverables meet their deadlines and stay within budgeted labor and material targets.

You’ll actively manage staffing and task assignments, adjusting to bottlenecks and shifting priorities while making sure every team member understands the hours allocated for their work. Standup meetings across specializations will take place under your guidance—thoughtfully scheduled at key points in each deliverable’s lifecycle to keep communication crisp and aligned. Your eye for detail will help catch issues early as you review engineering drawings and conduct in‑process quality checks.

You’ll make sure all teams uphold the production standards and deliverable expectations set by Project Managers, and you’ll help strengthen the systems that track part counts, completeness, and interdepartmental handoffs. When assemblies are ready to move on, you’ll confirm they’re identified, counted, and fully prepared for the next stage.

Clear communication is essential in this position—you’ll stay closely connected with project managers, engineers, and shop leads to resolve issues quickly and maintain an efficient workflow. You’ll also ensure strict adherence to safety policies, address risks as they arise, and monitor day‑to‑day staff performance, supporting proper tool usage, training, and cross‑training to build a versatile and capable team.

As a key partner to the HOM, you’ll report production updates, blockers, and capacity concerns, and help recommend overtime, weekend work, or shift adjustments when necessary. Throughout it all, you’ll set the tone on the shop floor, keeping morale high and momentum strong with a calm, solutions‑oriented leadership style.
