• 15+ years of progressive manufacturing leadership, including 10+ years in senior operations roles
• Demonstrated success leading operational turnarounds in custom-order, high-mix (job shop) manufacturing environments
• Experience in engineered-to-order manufacturing, metal fabrication, and assembly operations
• Strong financial acumen
• Proven ability to lead within a UAW environment
• A "blue-collar executive" equally effective in motivating hourly associates and presenting to ownership
• Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, or management; MBA a plus

Why This Role

This is an opportunity to step into a high-visibility leadership position with direct impact on the trajectory of a company mid-transformation with the full support of the CEO and ownership group.
