Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, operations, construction management, or a related field.
• Working fluency with ERP or MES systems in a production environment.
• 10+ years in manufacturing operations, with at least 5 running a plant or a major production area.
• Direct experience commissioning, ramping, or significantly re-rating a production line — greenfield startup, new line launch, or a step-change increase in volume.
• Flow-line assembly experience: modular or manufactured housing, RV, marine, bus or truck body, or comparable large-format assembly.

• Fluent in English and Spanish
• Comfortable spending the day on a production floor; onsite in Patterson, CA five days per week.

Responsibilities

• Manage the 26-station flow line at a two-hour station cycle across two shifts (6:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.–10:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with a thirty-minute handoff overlap).
• Convert the sales backlog and master production schedule into 30-, 60-, and 90-day capacity, staffing, overtime, and shift plans; identify capacity constraints before they affect customer commitments.
• Balance the line, break constraints, and hold cycle time as the product mix widens across ADU, single-family, multi-family, and commercial models.
• Own daily production performance: units completed, first-pass yield, rework, and on-time completion against the build schedule.
• Own the Patterson plant operating scorecard, including safety, schedule attainment, units completed, cycle time, first-pass yield, rework, scrap, labor hours per unit, overtime, equipment uptime, inventory accuracy, and cost variance to standard.
• Own plant equipment reliability and preventive maintenance, including uptime, planned versus unplanned downtime, critical spare parts, and root‑cause corrective action on recurring equipment failures.
• Lead continuous improvement across the plant using line balancing, standard work, 5S, visual management, root‑cause analysis, and other Lean methods to increase throughput and reduce labor hours, scrap, rework, and downtime.
• Own module quality through set, wrap, and transport — what leaves the plant must survive the road and the crane.
