Job description

DSA Doors is looking for a Plant Manager to take ownership of production and warehouse operations.

This is more than a management role. You'll have the opportunity to build a stronger, more disciplined production operation—raising the bar on quality, reliability, and team performance as DSA continues to grow.

If you lead from the floor, catch problems before they become delays, and enjoy building a team that performs at a higher level, this could be the opportunity for you.

What You'll Own

• Direct overall production and warehouse operations across the Raleigh facility, ensuring scheduling, staffing, quality, on-time delivery, and safety come together into one smoothly running plant.

Quality & Inventory Systems

• Set the standard for production, inventory, and quality systems and processes, using KPIs and continuous improvement to catch issues early and hold the plant accountable to it.
• Lead the plant through your Production Manager and Warehouse Manager. Build a collaborative, accountable leadership team and ensure standards are enforced consistently across every shift and function.
• Champion Lean, 5S, Six Sigma, or similar principles as how the plant operates. Partner closely with the Quality Manager on CI initiatives and projects, and ensure your team executes on them consistently on the floor.

Partnership & Reporting

• Work closely with the CEO on priorities, staffing, and capital needs, and provide clear, reliable reporting on plant-wide performance.

What Success Looks Like

You'll know you're making an impact when:

• Production and warehouse operations run in sync, with fewer surprises.
• Quality and KPI metrics are trending in the right direction plant-wide.
• Your leadership team—Production and Warehouse—is trained, accountable, and performing at a higher level.
• Inventory records are accurate and dependable across the plant.
• CI initiatives developed with the Quality Manager are actually executed on the floor, not just planned.
• The CEO has a clear, honest picture of overall plant performance at all times.

Requirements

Who We're Looking For

You may be a great fit if you:

• Have 6+ years of experience in a manufacturing or production environment.
• Have 4+ years leading a team of 30+ employees, including experience managing 50+ across functions.
• Understand quality standards, safety regulations, and inventory management.
• Can make sound decisions under pressure and drive results.
• Are comfortable being on the floor and in the details when it matters.
• Communicate clearly with production teams, technicians, and leadership.
• Bring a continuous improvement mindset to everyday operations.

Experience with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, 5S, Kaizen, or ERP systems (Acumatica a plus) is a plus.

Why This Role?

Because you won't simply inherit an operation and maintain it. You'll help shape it.

DSA is looking for someone who can bring structure, accountability, and a continuous improvement mindset to how the plant runs—and build the foundation for a stronger operation as the business grows.

If you're ready to take ownership of an operation from warehouse to delivery, we'd like to talk.
