Manufacturing Manager

Job Location: Braselton, GA (Greater Atlanta area)

(This role may also be relevant for candidates with titles such as Production Manager, Operations Manager, or Plant Operations Manager.)

A quietly expanding industrial-equipment manufacturer is transforming its build-to-order operation into a multi-machine, high-growth production system. Following three consecutive years of double-digit revenue gains, the organization is adding a hands-on Manufacturing Manager to architect the scheduling discipline, material flow, and shop-floor leadership needed to reach the next performance plateau. If you enjoy turning reactive “hero” cultures into structured, capacity-driven operations—and you like seeing your ideas move from whiteboard to shop floor in weeks, not years—this is your stage to shine.

This Role Offers:

• High impact, high visibility – report directly to the COO and shape the production architecture for the next decade.
• Growth runway – revenue targets call for near-doubling output; you will install the systems that make that scale possible.
• Hands-on culture – jeans-and-steel-toes environment where leadership works shoulder-to-shoulder with the team.
• Stability + investment – profitable, privately held owner reinvesting aggressively in people, processes, and technology.

Focus:

• Build and own a capacity-loaded master schedule that balances up to 10 concurrent custom machine builds, driving realistic promise dates and backlog visibility.
• Lead and coach a team of ~10 production technicians while partnering daily with Engineering, Materials, and Facilities to keep work moving and issues visible.
• Introduce weekly SIOP / S&OP cadence to align sales commitments with real shop capacity, material constraints, and engineering load.
• Strengthen material-planning discipline—time-phased demand, vendor lead-time modeling, and kit-readiness checks—to slash expediting costs and WIP congestion.
• Identify the primary constraint, implement finite-scheduling tactics, and drive continuous-improvement projects that reduce “fire-drill” disruptions.
• Draft and standardize SOPs, prepping the organization for its future ERP/MRP implementation and ISO 9001 re-certification.
• Champion a safety-first, quality-focused culture consistent with high-mix, low-volume capital-equipment environments.

Skill Set:

• 5+ years of manufacturing‐leadership experience in engineer-to-order, custom machinery, automation, or other high-mix / low-volume settings.
• Track record establishing finite scheduling, capacity planning, and material-planning processes (MRP/ERP familiarity strongly preferred).
• Knowledge of ISO 9001 (AS9100 exposure a plus) and hands-on success driving quality-system improvements.
• Working fluency with Excel (formulas, pivot tables) and comfort navigating data-light environments (e.g., QuickBooks-only back office).
• Leadership style that balances shop-floor presence with data-driven decision-making; capable of mentoring technicians and collaborating with engineers.
• Bonus points for APICS/CPIM, Lean or Six Sigma credentials, or prior experience inside capital-equipment OEMs or aerospace suppliers..
