About the Company

The leadership team operates collaboratively using EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), including strategic planning, Rocks, leadership meetings, and cross-company initiatives. Senior leaders have opportunities to work with other companies throughout the organization, participate in leadership meetings and travel, and build relationships across the broader group.

• Production planning and scheduling
• Labor, equipment, and material utilization
• Quality, safety, cost, and productivity
• Leadership of supervision and maintenance teams
• Production KPIs and continuous improvement
• Improving manufacturing methods and project flow
• Collaboration with estimating, purchasing, logistics, quality, HR, and executive leadership

Responsibilities

We are seeking a proven steel fabrication leader with deep operational experience who understands both the people and production sides of the business.

Qualifications

• Significant leadership experience within steel fabrication
• Strong production and personnel-management experience
• Ability to read plans and fabrication drawings
• Strong operational, analytical, and problem-solving skills
• Experience driving continuous improvement
• The leadership presence to operate as a key member of the management team

This opportunity includes an executive-level salary and incentive package, along with:

• Medical insurance through UnitedHealthcare
• Company reimbursement of 80% of the medical deductible, up to $4,000 per person
