Job description

Build something from the ground up — literally.

US Modular Systems, Inc. is a light gauge steel (LGS) manufacturing startup launching a 51,000+ SF industrial facility in Brookshire, TX. We design and manufacture steel framing systems — wall panels, floor cassettes, and modular components — for residential, healthcare, and commercial construction across Texas.

We have pre-committed revenue from Day 1, a clear roadmap to scale, and a leadership team with 40+ years of Texas real estate, construction, and capital markets experience. Production begins January 2027. We're hiring now.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a General Manager to lead the launch and daily operations of our Brookshire facility. This is a ground‑floor leadership role — you'll build the team, establish production processes, and own operational results from the start. The right candidate grows into VP of Operations as we expand to multiple Texas facilities.

On-site | Brookshire, TX | Target Start: Q3–Q4 2026 | Path to VP of Operations

What You'll Own

• Full P&L for manufacturing operations across four production lines: residential, healthcare, commercial, and industrial LGS systems
• Hire, train, and lead the production team — Production Manager, floor supervisors, and manufacturing staff
• Own KPIs: throughput, quality, on‑time delivery, and COGS — weekly reporting to CEO
• Manage steel coil inventory, supplier relationships, and raw material procurement
• Commission LGS roll‑forming equipment, CNC machines, and our CUBE 300 automated framing system
• Lead Phase 2 robotics deployment — material handling, automated fastening, and AI‑driven production scheduling
• Maintain OSHA compliance and a zero‑incident safety culture

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years in manufacturing operations management — steel, metal fabrication, modular construction, or related industry
• Proven track record managing production teams of 10+ people
• Hands‑on lean manufacturing experience
• Ability to read structural drawings, fabrication plans, and BIM/CAD files
• Experience managing supply chains and raw material inventory
• Comfortable on the factory floor AND in executive‑level reporting

Bonus Points For

• Light gauge steel (LGS) or cold‑formed steel (CFS) experience
• Familiarity with FrameCAD, Pinnacle, CUBE, or similar LGS software
• Experience commissioning a new manufacturing facility
• Healthcare or modular construction background
• Degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Industrial Management, or Construction Management

Compensation

• Competitive base salary — commensurate with experience
• Annual performance bonus tied to production KPIs and Company EBITDA
• Meaningful equity stake — vesting over 4 years
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Competitive PTO
• Clear growth path to VP of Operations

Why US Modular Systems

• Ground floor: Build the playbook — don't inherit someone else's
• Revenue‑backed: Pre‑committed revenue from Day 1, no cold‑start risk
• Mission‑driven: We build homes, hospitals, and communities
• Equity upside: Structured for a major institutional exit
