We are currently seeking a hands-on, results-driven
Plant Manager to lead manufacturing operations at our Mesa facility, with support for additional Houston-area plants as needed.
This role owns end-to-end plant performance—including safety, quality, delivery, productivity, and cost—and plays a critical role in translating business strategy into daily execution.
We’re looking for a leader who thrives on the floor, drives accountability, and builds high-performing teams through Lean manufacturing principles.
What You’ll Do
- Lead daily production across fabrication, welding, assembly, and shipping
- Own the production schedule, balancing demand, capacity, labor, and materials
- Drive on-time delivery, productivity, and operational efficiency
- Champion a zero-incident safety culture and ensure compliance
- Implement and sustain Lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives
- Establish and lead a Daily Management System (DMS) with KPI accountability
- Improve equipment reliability and maintenance performance
- Drive cost control and productivity improvements
- Develop, coach, and grow supervisors and operations leaders
- Partner cross-functionally with Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, and Sales
What We’re Looking For
- 7–10+ years of manufacturing leadership experience
- Experience leading multi-shift or complex operations (multi-site a plus)
- Strong background in Lean manufacturing / continuous improvement
- Proven ability to drive performance and cultural change
- Experience in fabrication, welding, or assembly environments preferred
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Operations, or related field (preferred)
What Sets You Apart
- You lead from the floor—not from behind a desk
- You take ownership of results: safety, delivery, productivity, and cost
- You bring solutions, not problems (root cause + action)
- You develop strong teams and future leaders
- You operate with urgency, discipline, and accountability
Work Environment & Schedule
- Full-time, Monday–Friday with flexibility based on business needs
- Requires visibility across day and night shifts
- Occasional extended hours and weekend support during peak periods
