The Role
Own the end-to-end production lifecycle, including master scheduling, capacity planning, work-order execution, performance monitoring, and disruption resolution. Lead and develop production personnel, use ERP/MES data to improve bottlenecks and key metrics, and drive continuous improvement. Ensure operator-level quality and compliance with AS9100 and ISO 9001 standards while managing production across CNC machining, additive manufacturing, and support equipment.

The Role

As Production Manager, you will own the full production lifecycle — from master scheduling across our CNC machines, L-PBF 3D printers, and support equipment, to day-to-day execution of all released work orders. You will translate cross-functional priorities into capacity-aligned schedules, drive performance against meaningful metrics, and lead a team that executes with independence and pride.

This is not a reactive, expedite-driven role. You will build schedules that look two weeks out and two years out. You will use data from ProShop ERP/MES to identify bottlenecks before they become crises. You will coach operators to own quality at the point of manufacture — and you will develop the next generation of production leaders alongside you.

What You'll Lead
  • Master Scheduling & Capacity. You own the schedule — short-term through long-term — for all production resources and labor. You build capacity models during ramp-up and keep delivery commitments intact.

  • Production Execution. You set daily, weekly, and monthly priorities and monitor real-time performance to resolve disruptions before they compound. Flow and predictability are the standard.

  • People & Culture. You lead, coach, and develop all production personnel. You establish clear expectations, drive engagement, and build a team that holds itself accountable — because that's what a great team does.

  • Data & Continuous Improvement. You track On-Time Delivery, OEE, labor efficiency, scrap and rework, and quality. You turn data into decisions and decisions into measurable gains.

  • Quality & Compliance. You enforce AS9100 and ISO 9001 standards at the operator level — because quality is owned on the floor, not caught at the end.

What We're Looking For
  • You are a recognized subject matter expert in manufacturing execution and capacity scheduling. You have led production teams in high-mix, technically complex environments — ideally including CNC machining or additive manufacturing.

  • You have operated within a formal quality management system.

  • You know your way around an ERP/MES platform and you use data the way it's meant to be used: to drive action.

  • Relevant experience: High School Diploma + 14 years; Associate degree + 12 years; bachelor's in engineering or related field + 7 years; Master's + 5 years.

  • At least 3 years of direct people management experience.
