Job description

Plant Manager

American factories deserve a supply chain that moves as fast as they do. The next generation of American manufacturing is being built right now. Nox Metals is the supply chain behind it.

We use software and automation to supply metal to American factories faster than the industry thought possible. Our mission is to reindustrialize America.

We're hiring a Plant Manager to run our Ferndale facility. This role comes with company equity, and our pay and equity reflect the hours and ownership we expect.

You will:

• Run daily plant operations: scheduling, throughput, quality, and on-time shipping

• Manage a large team with lots of inputs, outputs, shipping, timing, and training

• Keep the plant moving on very short cycle times, where the industry says a week and we say a day

• Set and enforce safety standards and OSHA compliance across the floor

• Train and develop operators, with documentation to back it up

• Inspire and lead people every day

• Join an insanely fast growing startup, your experience should reflect this

You should be:

• Someone who has run a shop or factory before, or managed large teams with complex inputs and outputs

• Familiar with 24/7 operations

• Experienced in a low lead time environment. This is the big one. Most of machining thinks "it'll take a week." Here it's "do it in a day."

• Extremely organized and always on time

• A documented trainer: you've built training programs and can show it

• Safety-first, with real OSHA knowledge

• A leader with an insanely great attitude who makes people want to follow

• Willing and wanting to work long hours, knowing equity and pay reflect that

• Someone who cares about reindustrializing America and our mission

This role is full time, in person in Detroit.
