Production Lead — High-Velocity Modular Factory

reframesystems; Andover (MA); On-site; USD 70,000 - 100,000; Full time

Job summary

Reframe Systems is seeking a Production Supervisor to lead day-to-day execution for a defined production area in our Andover factory. This role requires building the management system that keeps teams safe, productive, and improving weekly in a rapidly scaling environment.

The ideal candidate can bring rigor, systems thinking, and a technology-forward mindset to a novel manufacturing challenge as we scale our prefab/modular operations for North America.

Qualifications

• 3–7+ years leading teams in a fast-paced operations environment, with a strong preference for manufacturing / production / fulfillment / industrial operations.
• Proven track record hitting output targets while maintaining safety and quality.
• Strong people leadership: coaching, conflict management, accountability, and performance conversations.
• Strong data orientation: you run a scoreboard, identify gaps, and drive actions to close them.

Responsibilities

• Own daily/weekly plan attainment for your area: throughput, minutes/ft², schedule attainment, and rework hours.
• Run start-of-shift and end-of-shift routines; ensure the team always knows the plan, priorities, and constraints.
• Coordinate labor, materials, and readiness so work is staged and flow is protected.
• Surface blockers early with clear options and tradeoffs (bring “2–3 ways to solve it,” not just problems).
• Own safety performance for your area: hazard escalation, audits, incident response, and corrective actions.
• Ensure adherence to SOPs / standard work and quality gates; stop and correct out-of-standard work.
• Partner with Ops Engineering / training owners to ensure training and certification are completed for tasks performed in the area.
• Lead, coach, and develop team leads and operators; set expectations and drive accountability.
• Address issues directly and respectfully; hold the line on standards.
• Implement a lightweight rotation / cross-training plan that grows versatility and reduces burnout.
• Partner with Ops Engineering / CI to identify, prioritize, and execute improvements that move throughput/efficiency metrics.
• Support kaizen events, time studies, and standardization; ensure impact is measured and captured (not just ideas generated).
• Convert recurring issues into standard work, training content, and improved material flow so the system becomes self-improving.
