Manufacturing Production Manager

Lead Manufacturing for High-Tech, Custom-Built Systems (Not Mass Production) Manufacturing / Production Manager | High-Complexity Builds

Upstate NY (Syracuse, Onsite) | $140–175K + 19% Bonus

This is not an assembly-line role. We’re partnering with a global, engineering-driven manufacturer building low-volume, highly complex systems used in advanced technology applications.

They’re hiring a hands-on Manufacturing Leader to drive operations, improve throughput, and develop a strong, experienced team—while staying close to the floor.

• Own production: planning → scheduling → execution → delivery
• Lead supervisors and cross‑functional production teams
• Drive Lean / continuous improvement (quality, flow, throughput)
• Partner with Engineering on builds, changes, and new products
• Use KPIs to improve performance and eliminate bottlenecks

• Engineering degree (required)
• 7–10+ years in manufacturing leadership
• Background in high‑mix / low-volume / complex builds
• Hands‑on leader—comfortable on the floor, not just behind a desk
• Experience developing teams and leading through influence
• Lean / CI exposure (LSS Green/Black Belt a plus, not required)

• Complex, technical products—not repetitive manufacturing
• Clean, modern facility with a strong, tenured team
• High visibility to leadership
• Clear path toward broader operations leadership

If you’re in high-volume manufacturing and want something more technical—or already in complex manufacturing and want more ownership—this is worth a conversation.
