It is essential to consistently attract and develop top-tier talent while effectively coaching and mentoring a team focused on operational excellence.

Specific Duties Include:
  • Overseeing multiple manufacturing facilities, including in-house and subcontracted onsite construction.

  • Collaborating closely with the President on manufacturing strategies, objectives, and product innovations.
  • Engaging in senior-level negotiations with manufacturing partners and suppliers.
  • Developing and managing budgets with a focus on product costs and profit margins.
  • Directing all aspects of production control, process development, quality assurance, procurement, and logistics.
  • Maintaining just-in-time inventory levels.
  • Formulating strategies for optimal material utilization while minimizing waste.
  • Contributing to both short-term and long-term organizational planning as a member of the executive team.
  • Identifying root causes of recurring issues and implementing effective resolutions.

Qualifications:
  • Education: High School Diploma or equivalent; Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Electrical or Mechanical) required, MBA preferred.
  • Experience: Minimum of 10 years in high-touch manufacturing environments, with Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing expertise; 5 years in wood materials preferred; must have managed operations exceeding $20 million to $100 million during a growth phase.

Knowledge and Skills:

  • Exceptional coaching, training, and mentoring capabilities.
  • Process-oriented with a focus on results.
  • Strong analytical skills for budget management and manufacturing planning.
  • Excellent client relationship management skills.
