Company description

Awards and Accolades

The Company

Great Northern Cabinetry is a manufacturer of high-quality custom cabinetry sold through a network of dealers. The company, which started as a small business in 1972 still operates in its original location in Rib Lake, WI. Ownership has experience working for larger, world-class companies, and they desire to build a company that has the capabilities of a large company and the atmosphere of a small company.

Great Northern Cabinetry manufactures and sells two lines of cabinetry (face framed and frameless), which are marketed to kitchen and bath dealers, home builders and remodeling contractors. Cabinetry is an $18B segment within the $160B kitchen and bath building products industry. Most of the company’s sales are used in single family residential new construction and existing home remodeling projects. With an improving environment for housing related building products, company ownership believes that over the next five years it can develop a sales presence in the entire continental U.S., where today the company reaches about half the country.

Ownership is committed to creating a culture of trust, respect, integrity, and accountability. Culturally, ownership is looking to build a team that buys into three critical operating principles: People and their safety come first; our business is centered around the dealer; and we seek improvement every day. Great Northern Cabinetry is a small company today with ambitions to grow.

The Position

The HR Generalist is a critical role at Great Northern Cabinetry, reporting directly to the Finance Manager. Expectations are that this person:

• Conducts day-to-day HR functions, including employee relations and engagement.
• Oversees bi-weekly payroll administration and benefits management, while building relationships with the employees.
• Assists employees with 401(k) enrollment, contributions and general understanding of the program.
• Creates and implements new hire orientation for employees of all levels.
• Engages with employees throughout the manufacturing floor, and makes him/herself accessible as needed.
• Reviews, tracks, and documents compliance with mandatory and non-mandatory training, including safety training, anti-harassment training and more.
• Performs routine tasks required to administer and execute human resource programs including but not limited to compensation, benefits, and leave; disciplinary matters; disputes and investigations; performance and talent management; productivity, recognition, and morale; occupational health and safety; and training and development.
• Handles employment-related inquiries from applicants, employees, and supervisors, referring complex and/or sensitive matters to the appropriate management.
• Recruits, interviews, and facilitates the hiring of qualified job applicants for open positions; collaborates with department supervisors to understand skills and competencies required for openings.
• Conducts or acquires background checks and employee eligibility verifications.

The Candidate

Ideally, the selected candidate will have experience in a manufacturing environment. The successful candidate will be a self-starter who can work independently and has strong analytical and communication skills, and capable of building relationships across the constituencies noted above. A four-year degree from an accredited college or university is strongly desired.

Other skills/experiences include:

• Excellent interpersonal and conflict resolution skills.
• Knowledge of Paylocity payroll and HR system.
• Knowledge of basic HR practices and benefits administration.
• Willingness to engage with people at all levels of the company and learn the business.
• Integrity and trustworthiness.
• This position is not eligible for remote work. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.

THE COMPANY

Great Northern Cabinetry, a manufacturer of high-quality custom cabinetry sold through a nationwide network of kitchen and bath dealers, produces approximately 20,000 cabinets per year. Located in the Village of Rib Lake, WI (a 15-minute drive to the county seat in Medford, WI), Great Northern Cabinetry began in 1972 and employs approximately 85 people. The company is the village’s economic engine and its largest employer.

In 2020, a small group of private investors with extensive experience operating businesses in similar industries acquired Great Northern Cabinetry with a vision to create a leading growth platform in the industry. Ownership is actively involved and is executing the following strategy:

• Implement a lean focused operational system that drives daily improvement in safety, quality, delivery and cost.
• Double the number of active dealers served (and then double again) by adding density in existing markets and then adding new geographies over time.
• Elevate the company’s standing in the community with the aspiration to be the “best manufacturing job in Taylor County” by having a safe and welcoming environment, a team-oriented culture, and a strong compensation and benefits package.

The near-term and long-term outlook for the company’s products is strong. Both new construction and renovation activity is poised to grow for several years due to three macro-economic factors:

• Mortgage rates are expected to slowly decline from multi-decade highs, reducing the cost of home ownership and reigniting existing home sales.
• Since 2009, housing starts in the U.S. have substantially lagged new family formation, creating a shortage of three to five million homes nationwide.
• Equity in homeowner’s houses is at all time highs, and the average age of the U.S. housing stock is approaching a record 40 years old, implying a remodeling boom is on the horizon.

The company’s goal is to achieve $50 million in sales over the next several years, up from approximately $15 million today. With a strong macro-economic backdrop and a clear growth strategy, this aspiration is well within reach.

THE POSITION

Reporting to the company’s Chief Operating Officer (and one of the investor/owners), the Plant Director is responsible for daily safety, quality, production output and equipment maintenance. Of the company’s 85 employees, approximately 55 are direct production workers.

The newly hired Plant Director will work in concert with the Chief Operating Officer to implement and execute a lean focused management system, be able to motivate the hourly team by leveraging his or her soft skills while driving change, accountability, and results. The team has been accepting of the new way of operating but has many skills to learn and old habits to break. Creating a work environment that values experience while implementing a new system and improving our attractiveness to prospective team members is a critical part of the role.

The Plant Director will be part of the executive team and participate in the weekly executive staff meeting. Regarding specific duties, the successful candidate will:

• Develop a culture of safety, quality, delivery and cost throughout the company.
• Execute the lean manufacturing system being implemented to drive daily improvement.
• Create an environment that is attractive to potential employees by setting high expectations, holding team members accountable, rewarding performance, and demonstrating respect to all individuals.
• Achieve the daily, weekly, and monthly production objectives.

THE CANDIDATE

The successful candidate will be a self-starter who can interface effectively with all levels of the organization, is someone who has strong analytical and communication skills, and has the patience to work with a team that is transitioning from what “was” to what “will be.”

Direct experience with wood products would be beneficial, but at a minimum the successful candidate will have led operations in an engineered product business with medium to high volumes. For the right candidate, this will be an exciting, dynamic, challenging and rewarding position, with the opportunity to influence the company’s performance for years to come.

As it builds the company, ownership is seeking to employ three primary principles:

1. Build a team oriented, politics free culture that places a high value on people;
2. Serve customers the way we want to be served when we are the customer;
3. Apply lean manufacturing techniques to create a mindset of continuous improvement.

The ideal candidate will be aligned with those principles and lead with the following characteristics:

• Patience with people; impatience with process.
• Cross functional leadership.
• Teacher and mentor.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills – knowing which levers to pull to drive different outcomes.
• Strategy development for capital planning, technology, process, and people.

While the ideal candidate will have a four-year degree and 15+ years of experience (10 of which will have been in leadership roles) leaders without a four-degree but a strong track record of success will also be considered. The selected candidate will have a strong background working for an organization with an established lean culture.

The chosen candidate must:

• Have impeccable integrity,
• Be able to lead others by example
• Be willing to “get his/her hands dirty” when required.

Finally, the successful candidate will enjoy living and working in a rural environment where being a part of the community is paramount and outdoors activities are central to a full lifestyle. This position is not eligible for remote work. Compensation will be competitive and commensurate with experience.
