• Build a culture of clarity, ownership, and pride in the work.

What You Bring:

• 5+ years in a manufacturing leadership role, with proven results in plant or general management.
• A systems thinker with strong operational and financial acumen.
• Experience in a make-to-order or custom manufacturing environment is a major plus.
• Working knowledge of ERP systems (preferably Microsoft Dynamics AX), Microsoft Office Suite, and continuous improvement tools.

• The freedom to lead decisively while shaping the future of the facility.
