Job description

Assembly & Operations Supervisor / Manager

$85000 - $100000 per year | Minneapolis, MN | On-site | Permanent

Lead a Growing Team + Drive Meaningful Change + Build Your Future + Growing Industrial Company + Excellent Organization + Fantastic Benefits

A bit about us:

We are an established and growing industrial distribution and engineered solutions organization supporting manufacturers and industrial customers across a variety of industries. Our business has been built on strong customer relationships, technical expertise, and the ability to deliver quality products and solutions.

Through continued growth and strategic acquisitions, we are investing in our people, technology, and operations to support the next chapter of our business.

We are looking for someone who enjoys working with their hands, understands how an industrial operation runs, and is ready to take the next step in their leadership career. This is an opportunity to join a smaller operation with the support and resources of a much larger organization.

You do not need to have held an Operations Manager title to be successful. We are interested in people who have demonstrated leadership ability, understand production or distribution environments, and want to grow into broader operational responsibility.

Why join us?

Career advancement: Opportunity for an experienced supervisor or emerging leader to take ownership of an operation and develop toward broader operations leadership.

Small team, meaningful impact: Lead a team of four where your decisions and contributions will make an immediate difference.

Established and growing organization: Join a company continuing to expand through acquisitions and investment.

Hands-on leadership: Stay connected to the actual work rather than spending your entire day behind a desk.

Technology and process improvements: Help modernize operations, improve workflows, and support the adoption of new systems.

Autonomy and ownership: Have a voice in how the operation runs and the improvements being made.

Leadership support: Work closely with an experienced Operations Manager while developing your own leadership capabilities.

Job Details

We are seeking a hands-on Assembly & Operations Supervisor / Manager to oversee daily activities within a specialized industrial assembly and distribution facility.

This position is ideal for someone who has worked their way up through production, assembly, warehouse, or distribution operations and is ready for greater responsibility.

You may currently be a Production Supervisor, Assembly Lead, Warehouse Supervisor, Assistant Operations Manager, or Shop Supervisor looking for the opportunity to take the next step.

You will oversee a small team responsible for assembly, inventory, shipping, receiving, and customer order fulfillment. Just as importantly, you will help improve processes, introduce greater structure, and support the organization’s continued growth.

We are not looking for someone who wants to sit in an office and simply delegate. We want a leader who is comfortable working alongside the team, learning the products, solving problems, and jumping in wherever needed.

What You'll Do

• Oversee daily assembly, production, warehouse, shipping, and receiving activities.
• Lead, coach, train, and develop a small team of employees.
• Coordinate manpower, materials, inventory, and production schedules to meet customer expectations.
• Ensure customer orders are completed accurately, efficiently, and on time.
• Support inventory management, stocking levels, and material availability.
• Learn the products and assembly processes so you can effectively support your team.
• Help develop standard operating procedures and improve day-to-day workflows.
• Support the continued adoption and optimization of ERP systems and technology.
• Identify opportunities to reduce errors, improve productivity, and create operational efficiencies.
• Coordinate returns, repairs, replacements, and other reverse logistics activities.
• Partner with Sales, Customer Service, Product Management, Accounting, and Operations leadership.
• Help develop employee skills, crosstraining programs, and operational capabilities to support future growth.

What We're Looking For

• Experience in manufacturing, assembly, industrial distribution, warehouse operations, or a similar hands-on environment.
• Previous supervisory, team leadership, or management experience, including demonstrated responsibility for coordinating employees and daily workflow.
• Strong understanding of how inventory, production, shipping, receiving, and customer fulfillment work together.
• Willingness to learn technical products and work alongside employees when needed.
• Comfortable using business systems, inventory platforms, or ERP software.
• Experience helping improve processes, introduce new procedures, or support operational changes.
• Strong communication, organization, problem-solving, and people skills.
• A desire to continue growing into larger operations leadership responsibilities.

Additional Experience We'd Love to See

• Hydraulic, pneumatic, fluid power, hose assembly, or industrial component experience.
• Experience with Oracle or similar ERP systems.
• Exposure to system implementations or transitions from manual processes.
• Experience supporting operational growth, acquisitions, or organizational change.
• Technical training, certifications, or a related degree.

Compensation

• Base salary: $85,000-$100,000
• 5% annual bonus opportunity
• Full-time, onsite in Plymouth, Minnesota
• Opportunity for continued professional growth and leadership development
