Job description

The successful production manager can take direction and turn it into results on the ground, every day, across every branch — without needing to be told twice and without letting problems sit.

If you get frustrated watching a good plan fail because nobody made the crew show up, held a sub accountable, or fixed a problem before the customer noticed — this is your job. If you'd rather build process decks and talk about alignment, it isn't.

What You'll Do

• Run day-to-day production across all branches — installs, subcontractors, customer service. When something breaks, you fix it the same day. You don't wait to be told and you don't pass along what's yours to solve.
• Hold construction coordinators, schedulers, and subcontractors to the standard already set. Coach fast where it's fixable. Tell leadership plainly when it isn't.
• Manage subcontractor and vendor performance day to day — pull a bad crew, flag a vendor costing us money or callbacks.
• Track production KPIs — cycle time, callback rate, crew utilization, subcontractor scorecards — and act on them with urgency.
• Coordinate with scheduling to catch capacity problems before they hit a customer.
• Report issues up early and plainly

What You Need

• Real production or field operations experience in roofing or construction — you've run crews and subcontractors
• A track record of hitting targets someone else set, under pressure. This is an execution role.
• Demonstrated ability to hold people accountable — coaching, reassigning, or recommending removal, based on performance.
• Experience managing a subcontractor-heavy labor model
• Good judgment on what's yours to decide today versus what needs to come to leadership
• Working knowledge of industry safety standards and regulatory compliance.
• Comfortable with production/scheduling software — we run AccuLynx.
• A degree is a plus, not a requirement. Track record matters more.
