Job description

Shop Foreman – Manufacturing Execution

This is not a leadership role for everyone. That is by design. RISE Armament is looking for a Shop Foreman whose sole mission is execution. If you believe manufacturing succeeds through discipline, standards, and relentless follow-through—and fails through flexibility and improvisation—keep reading. If you prefer collaboration over authority, creativity over compliance, or workarounds over process, this role is not for you.

The Mission

Your job is simple to understand and difficult to execute: Every work order ships on time. On-time delivery is the measure of success in this role, but no order is considered “on time” if it does not meet quality requirements. Speed that creates rework, scrap, or escapes is failure. Everything else—process enforcement, ERP accuracy, floor discipline—exists only to support that outcome.

Who This Role Is For

• Thinks in right vs. wrong, not gray areas
• Believes standards exist to be enforced, not debated
• Is comfortable being the authority on the floor
• Takes personal ownership of work order flow
• Feels professional pride when the system matches reality

You are at your best when:

• Expectations are clear
• Authority is defined
• Accountability is non-negotiable

What You Will Do

• Own daily work order execution across the shop floor
• Ensure every job moves on time through every operation
• Enforce strict compliance with travelers, routings, and SOPs
• Maintain real-time accuracy in ProShop ERP
• Correct deviations immediately—no exceptions, no negotiations
• Identify at‑risk work orders early and act decisively

What You Must Bring

Required

• Manufacturing experience in a production environment
• Hands‑on experience moving work orders in an ERP system (ProShop a bonus)
• Comfort enforcing rules and correcting behavior in real time
• Strong discipline, follow‑through, and attention to detail
• A zero‑tolerance mindset for missed due dates

Preferred

• CNC machining experience
• Experience acting as a single point of execution authority
• Familiarity with ProShop ERP and the EPIC (Expert Person In Charge) concept

This Role Is NOT For You If…

Do not apply if you:

• Believe rules should bend when things get busy
• Prefer consensus over authority
• Avoid conflict in the name of morale
• “Make it work” instead of following the process

What Success Looks Like

• Work orders ship on time
• Late jobs are rare and visible early
• The floor runs with urgency and predictability
• ProShop reflects reality without exception
• Operators know exactly what is expected—and when

Why RISE Armament

RISE Armament builds precision firearms components for customers who demand reliability. That same expectation applies to our manufacturing operations.

• Discipline over chaos
• Accountability over excuses
• Execution over intention
• We will give you:

• Clear authority
• Clear expectations
• Leadership support for enforcing standards

Benefits

• 401(k)
• Health insurance
• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
• Life insurance
• Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Employee discount
• Referral program

Final Reality Check

If being liked matters more than being effective, this role is not for you. If you take pride in order, discipline, and delivering exactly what was promised—on time—this may be the most satisfying role you've ever had.
