General Manager | S2A Modular

General ManagerLOCATION: Patterson, California INDUSTRY: Offsite Construction / Volumetric Modular Housing EMPLOYMENT TYPE: Full-Time REPORTS TO: Chief Executive Officer DIRECT REPORTS: Production supervision, Quality, Maintenance, Staging, Receiving and Shipping, and the Purchasing/Supply Chain Manager, across both shifts STATUS: Full-time, exemptAbout Us We are a growing modular manufacturing company specializing in volumetric residential and multi-family construction. Our plant delivers high-quality, efficiently built homes using advanced manufacturing processes. As demand accelerates, we are expanding our team and seeking a detail-oriented professional who thrives at the intersection of estimating, accounting, and operational support.
Position OverviewProduction & Capacity PlanningManage the 26-station flow line at a two-hour station cycle across two shifts (6:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.–10:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with a thirty-minute handoff overlap).
Convert the sales backlog and master production schedule into 30-, 60-, and 90-day capacity, staffing, overtime, and shift plans; identify capacity constraints before they affect customer commitments.
Balance the line, break constraints, and hold cycle time as the product mix widens across ADU, single-family, multi-family, and commercial models.
Own daily production performance: units completed, first-pass yield, rework, and on-time completion against the build schedule.
Own the Patterson plant operating scorecard, including safety, schedule attainment, units completed, cycle time, first-pass yield, rework, scrap, labor hours per unit, overtime, equipment uptime, inventory accuracy, and cost variance to standard.
Equipment Reliability & Continuous ImprovementOwn plant equipment reliability and preventive maintenance, including uptime, planned versus unplanned downtime, critical spare parts, and root-cause corrective action on recurring equipment failures.
Lead continuous improvement across the plant using line balancing, standard work, 5S, visual management, root-cause analysis, and other Lean methods to increase throughput and reduce labor hours, scrap, rework, and downtime.
Quality & Field FeedbackOwn module quality through set, wrap, and transport — what leaves the plant must survive the road and the crane.
Establish a closed-loop process with Project Management, Installation, Engineering, and Customer Service so field defects, installation issues, warranty claims, and transport damage result in permanent corrective action at the factory.
Cost, Budget & StandardsPartner with the Controller and CFO on the work-center standard cost model covering material, direct labor, and applied overhead by station, and own it operationally.
Develop and manage the annual plant operating and capital budget; prepare business cases for equipment, tooling, automation, and facility improvements, and deliver approved capital projects on time and within budget.
Own plant-controllable spend such as direct and indirect labor, consumables, scrap, and utilities.
Explain variance to standard with root cause and countermeasure, not narrative.
People & OrganizationBuild and lead the plant organization across both shifts: production supervision, quality, maintenance, staging, and receiving and shipping.
Recruit, train, and retain a production workforce in a Central Valley labor market that competes for operations talent.
Establish tiered daily management — start-of-shift huddles, hour-by-hour boards, and escalation that reaches a decision.
SystemsDrive disciplined use of Offsight, the Company's ERP system, for production tracking, station sign-off, and QA documentation, with QuickBooks Online as the general ledger.
Manage production flow through the Offsight Gantt charts: sequence modules across the 26 stations, track progress against the plan daily, and re-plan the schedule when a station slips.
Serve as the operations owner of routings, work centers, and shop-floor data capture, and lead operations through the migration to a full manufacturing ERP.
Safety & Regulatory ComplianceOwn EHS performance and build a safety culture measured on leading indicators, not only recordables.
Maintain compliance with Cal/OSHA and California HCD factory-built housing requirements, including in-plant inspection and the approved quality assurance program.
QualificationsBachelor's degree in engineering, operations, construction management, or a related field. Equivalent hands-on experience will be considered in place of the degree.
Working fluency with ERP or MES systems in a production environment.10+ years in manufacturing operations, with at least 5 running a plant or a major production area.
Direct experience commissioning, ramping, or significantly re-rating a production line — greenfield startup, new line launch, or a step-change increase in volume.
