Job description

Head of ProductionMission-critical power does not wait on a schedule slide. You will lead the people and the floor that turn engineered designs into modular enclosures, skid-mounted systems, and integrated electrical equipment customers can energize with confidence. Whether a data center, high-tech, or energy project ships complete, safe, and on the committed date depends on this role. Ownership is real: production performance is how the business, and the people who build it, win.Performance ObjectivesDeliver the annual build plan so modular power centers and skids ship on the agreed date, complete, and factory-acceptance ready.Raise schedule adherence and first-pass yield by clearing bottlenecks across fabrication, assembly, wiring, and test.Lead daily risk controls with safety so recordable incidents trend down and stop-work authority is used without hesitation.Hit labor, overtime, and material-use targets without trading away quality, traceability, or code compliance.Build capacity—staffing, shifts, work cells, and supplier flow—so engineering releases become build slots, not chaos.Close issues with Quality, Engineering, and Project Management so nonconformances, design clashes, and change orders do not miss a milestone.Develop supervisors who run to clear standards and visible metrics, with crews that own the outcome.Environment & ResourcesYou lead production supervision, planning coordination, and skilled trades in a manufacturing facility building modular electrical systems for data center, mission-critical, and energy customers.
