Our client, located near O’Hare Airport, is seeking an Operations Manager to help develop and execute the General Manager’s vision and strategy for this $70 million complex assembly-ready hydraulic and pneumatic components manufacturer. Our client has multiple locations within a five-mile radius of its headquarters. The Operations Manager will manage all operations for the manufacturing facility, reporting directly to the GM. This leadership position is responsible for setting the direction and achieving results throughout the operations team.

  • The Operations Manager will have seven (7) direct reports, including Team Leaders responsible for production. In total there are currently 75 individuals reporting to this role, including, 8 indirect, and 1 salaried subordinate who are within the Operations Manager’s sphere.


  • The Operations Manager will lead the plant organization to develop/reapply and implement systems, equipment, and work processes that deliver consistently high-quality product (under 500 PPM), and on-time (over 90%) at expected cost outcomes. They will mentor, lead, and train managers and supervisors, providing direction on leadership, people development skills, and behavior relevant to company values, policies, procedures, and performance standards.


  • They will have primary responsibility for plant capacity utilization, setting and delivering production commitments while working closely with Production Planning. They will also champion and maintain a safe working environment and ensure that work practices are maintained.


  • In addition, this role will maintain company-sponsored professional growth and development opportunities for plant personnel, while ensuring that annual performance reviews are completed for all plant personnel regularly. They will provide ongoing performance feedback and coaching to his/her organization and ensure daily, weekly, and monthly results review processes are in place and functional.


  • They will conduct monthly plant meetings (Safety, LEAN, and scorecard reviews) with all plant personnel and keep the VP of Operations, VP of Engineering, and the Company President informed of his/her plant’s priorities, resource needs, and help needed to ensure that the desired results are delivered. This role will also reinforce the company's culture of continuous improvement, promoting communication, shared learning, intelligent risk-taking, creative problem-solving, and overall associate accountability.
