Position Overview

We are looking for a hands-on Manufacturing Plant Manager with deep experience in custom fabrication for commercial construction projects. This role is responsible for driving daily operations while ensuring that complex, project-based work—such as structural and architectural metal components—is delivered accurately, efficiently, and on schedule.

This position requires someone who understands the pace and demands of the construction industry, can interpret detailed shop drawings, and knows how to lead fabrication teams to produce high-quality work that meets field requirements and installation timelines. You will act as the key link between engineering, project management, and the shop floor, ensuring that what is designed can be built—and built right the first time.

What You’ll Do

• Lead all day-to-day plant operations, keeping production aligned with project schedules and customer deadlines.
• Oversee fabrication of custom metal products such as structural components, stairs, railings, frames, and other project-specific assemblies.
• Review and interpret shop drawings, blueprints, and specifications to ensure accuracy and manufacturability before work begins.
• Work closely with engineering and drafting teams to resolve design challenges and ensure smooth handoff to production.
• Translate drawings and project requirements into clear direction for shop personnel, ensuring consistent execution across teams.
• Monitor production performance, identify bottlenecks, and adjust workflows to improve efficiency and output.
• Maintain high quality standards, ensuring all fabricated products meet specifications, tolerances, and commercial construction requirements.
• Address fabrication issues in real time, troubleshoot problems, and implement corrective actions to prevent rework or delays.
• Champion a strong safety culture by enforcing OSHA standards, conducting training, and maintaining a clean, organized shop environment.
• Lead, mentor, and hold accountable supervisors, welders, fabricators, and machine operators.
• Manage materials, including steel and other metals, ensuring availability aligns with project timelines.
• Oversee equipment usage and maintenance to keep the shop running efficiently with minimal downtime.
• Drive continuous improvement across fabrication processes, including the use of new tools, equipment, and technologies.
• Improve coordination between office and shop by strengthening processes around drawing revisions, change orders, and production communication.
• Track key metrics such as productivity, scrap, and on-time delivery, using data to guide decisions.

What We’re Looking For

• 5–10+ years of experience in manufacturing, with a strong emphasis on custom fabrication tied to commercial construction projects.
• At least 3 years of experience leading teams in a production or fabrication environment.
• Proven ability to read and work from detailed shop drawings and blueprints, including GD&T.
• Strong understanding of fabrication processes such as cutting, welding, forming, and assembly.
• Experience managing project-based production where schedules and sequencing matter.
• Solid leadership skills with the ability to drive accountability and performance on the shop floor.
• Familiarity with Lean manufacturing or process improvement practices.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related field is preferred, but not required with relevant experience.

Nice to Have

• Background in structural or architectural metal fabrication for commercial builds.
• Experience with ERP/MRP systems.
• Certifications such as Six Sigma or PMP.

Why This Role

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a fabrication operation that directly supports high-impact commercial construction projects. You’ll be working on custom, non-repetitive work where problem-solving, craftsmanship, and execution matter. If you thrive in a fast-paced shop environment and take pride in delivering work that shows up on real job sites, this role offers both challenge and impact.
