About MAAX and American Bath Group (ABG)
MAAX @ American Bath Group (ABG) is one of North America’s largest bathware and building product manufacturers, operating multiple high-volume manufacturing facilities nationwide.
We are Building a Better Bathware Industry — and that starts with you.
At ABG, we expect operational leaders to drive measurable performance across Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, and Inventory (SQDCI). We value leaders who take ownership, enforce accountability, and produce results without compromising safety or integrity.
If you are a hands-on manufacturing leader who thrives in performance-driven environments, this role is for you.
The Role
The Plant Superintendent is the operational engine of the facility. You are responsible for executing production strategy, driving plant KPIs, developing frontline leadership, and ensuring disciplined operational execution every day.
This is not a maintenance role. This is a results role.
You will lead production, tooling, EHS, and workforce performance while partnering with Quality, Engineering, and Maintenance to eliminate bottlenecks and increase throughput.
What You Will Own
Operational Execution
- Deliver daily, weekly, and monthly production targets.
- Drive performance against SQDCI metrics.
- Establish clear KPIs and enforce accountability at every level.
- Remove operational barriers impacting output or quality.
Leadership & Workforce Performance
- Build, coach, and develop frontline supervisors and plant personnel.
- Lead hiring, training, performance management, and conflict resolution.
- Address underperformance directly and decisively.
- Build a culture of urgency, safety, and ownership.
Lean & Continuous Improvement
- Implement Lean Manufacturing systems and production discipline.
- Reduce waste, lower costs, and improve throughput.
- Lead structured process improvements without sacrificing safety or quality.
- Use data to drive decisions and eliminate inefficiencies.
Safety & Compliance
- Champion a zero-incident safety culture.
- Ensure strict compliance with EHS regulations.
- Lead proactive safety initiatives and corrective actions.
- Enforce lockout/tagout and operational safety standards.
Equipment & Reliability
- Partner with Maintenance to minimize downtime.
- Ensure preventative maintenance programs are executed consistently.
- Hold teams accountable for equipment reliability and responsiveness.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven track record leading manufacturing operations.
- Demonstrated success improving SQDCI performance.
- Strong Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement background.
- Experience managing production scheduling and ERP systems.
- Ability to lead in high-volume, fast-paced environments.
- Strong data-driven decision-making skills.
- Direct, confident communicator who sets clear expectations.
- Operational discipline with a bias for action.
Education & Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, or related field preferred (or equivalent experience).
- 3–5+ years of manufacturing leadership experience.
- Experience in high-output, deadline-driven production environments strongly preferred.
Work Environment
- Active manufacturing facility.
- Frequent standing, walking, and plant floor presence.
- Ability to lift up to 25 lbs as required.
Why This Role Matters
At ABG, plant leadership directly impacts profitability, customer satisfaction, and workforce stability.
As a Plant Superintendent, you will:
Drive measurable operational performance
Lead culture transformation on the plant floor
Develop future manufacturing leaders
Improve efficiency and reduce operational waste
Make a visible, bottom-line impact
This role is for leaders who want to win on performance — not manage status quo.
