• Manage the shop floor team: hiring, training, performance management, safety‑compliance, development of operational staff.
• Oversee equipment maintenance, facility utilization, stock/materials management, buffer capacity and contingency planning.
• Work with logistics/dispatch team to ensure finished panels are loaded and delivered to job sites when required.
• Liaise with project team: ensure manufacturing aligns with project handovers, discuss production challenges, and maintain open communication with internal and external parties.
• Oversee shop manufacturing operations and coordinate onsite activities.
• Support health & safety, maintain compliance with relevant regulations, ensure safe working environment in the shop.
• Budgeting, forecasting and operations cost control for the prefab wall panel manufacturing operation.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Construction Management or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Proven experience (5–10 yrs+) in a manufacturing operations manager role, preferably in construction materials, prefab systems, wood‑frame panels or related assembly operations.
• Experience overseeing high‑volume fabrication/assembly operations with strict schedule commitments.
• Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes, lean/continuous improvement, quality assurance, scheduling, logistics.
• Excellent leadership and team‑management skills: ability to build, develop and lead a production team, manage multiple shifts if required.
• Strong communication and coordination skills — able to work cross‑functionally (design, engineering, logistics, site installation).
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, schedule‑driven environment with tight deadlines.
• Solid understanding of health & safety standards in a manufacturing environment.
• Proficient in production software, ERP/MRP systems, scheduling tools, data/reporting.
