Production planning and scheduling

• Plan capacity so people, machines and materials line up with what customers need
• Keep customer inventories at target levels and make sure every job ships on time

Operational excellence

• Review cycle times, machine performance and completed jobs, then push efficiency targets higher
• Lead scrap reduction and process improvement across the plant
• Keep shop routings and job data accurate so scheduling and job costing work from good numbers
• Uphold our ISO standards, quality policy and objectives

Equipment, tooling and safety

• Manage the machine and equipment maintenance program and coordinate service work
• Own tooling inventory and purchasing
• Recommend and carry out safety improvements and accident-prevention measures

People and culture

• Work with the Plant Floor Supervisor to cross-train employees and find paths to advancement
• Help build a floor culture of accountability, mutual trust and recognition, where everyone has a stake in the operation's success
• Help shape company policies and procedures as we grow

What You Bring

• 5+ years of production management experience in a similar manufacturing environment
• A degree in business, manufacturing or engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience
• A strong eye for detail and the ability to handle several priorities at once
• Clear, confident communication with the floor team, the office and customers
