Operations Manager

We are hiring an Operations Manager to run one of our precision machining plants end to end. As the top operational leader on site you will own how the facility performs on safety, quality, delivery, cost and people inside an AS9100 Rev D and ITAR registered shop that builds parts for the aerospace, defense, medical, semiconductor and transportation markets.

If you are a hands‑on operations leader who came up in aerospace defense or precision machining and you want a seat where your decisions actually move the plant, this is a chance to own a site and grow with a private‑equity backed group that is investing for the long haul.

• Run the floor day to day across machining, assembly and support so customer commitments are met

• Protect on‑time delivery and recover at‑risk jobs by working the schedule through ERP and site data
• Steward the operating budget and push margin efficiency and cost discipline
• Keep the site aligned to the AS9100 Rev D system and to ITAR and US export control rules
• Champion lean problem solving to lift machine uptime, throughput and lights‑out capacity

• A track record of eight or more years leading operations in a manufacturing setting
• Time spent in aerospace defense precision machining or another regulated industry is a strong plus
• Experience owning several functions at once such as production, quality and supply chain
• Comfort living in an ERP or MRP system day to day
• Familiarity with AS9100 along with ITAR and export control expectations is preferred
• A history of driving lean and continuous improvement when the pace is high
• A degree in engineering, operations, business or a related field is preferred
• Sharp financial and analytical instincts paired with people leadership that builds culture and accountability

• Health, dental and vision coverage
• A competitive salary with bonus potential
• A 401k that the company matches
• Life insurance plus short and long‑term disability covered by the company
• Paid holidays and a healthy bank of vacation time
