Ameritex Machine & Fabrication is a fast-growing, high-mix metal fabrication company serving power generation, infrastructure, and industrial markets. We build complex fabricated assemblies, enclosures, and structural systems where execution, reliability, and throughput matter more than theory.

We are creating a Director of Manufacturing Excellence role to install manufacturing truth into our operation, not as a consultant, not as a paperwork role, but as a hands-on leader who defines how work gets built and ensures the schedule reflects reality.

This is a builder role, not a caretaker role.

What This Role Owns

The Director of Manufacturing Excellence owns the manufacturing system, not production headcount.

This role builds and enforces a system that defines what is physically possible, so operations can execute without heroics.

You will own:

• Manufacturing schedulability gates (what is / isn’t allowed onto the schedule)
• Process definition and standard work
• Routing accuracy and sequence definition
• Capacity truth across fabrication, welding, finishing, and assembly
• Manufacturing risk classification (standard vs high-risk work)
• Corrective action creation for repeat failures
• Training system architecture (AMTX U)
• Maintenance planning & reliability (PM discipline, uptime protection)
• Manufacturing engineering standards (cutting, welding, forming, flow)

This role does not manage production supervisors or run shifts.

It exists to make execution predictable.

Who You’ll Work With

• Production Managers and Planning & Scheduling
• Maintenance Planning & Reliability
• Welding and Laser Engineers
• Quality Systems & Compliance
• Business Systems / ERP
• Ownership and Operations leadership

This role sits at the center of manufacturing decision-making.

What Success Looks Like

Within 6–12 months:

• Schedules stop slipping due to “surprises”
• Production stops improvising workarounds
• Engineering releases are buildable
• Maintenance becomes proactive instead of reactive
• Training ties directly to process permission
• Owners are no longer the escalation path

If you like clean whiteboards but not messy shops, this is not the role for you.

What We’re Looking For

We are intentionally not looking for a traditional continuous-improvement consultant or a corporate Six Sigma role.

The right candidate has:

• 10+ years in manufacturing or fabrication environments
• Hands-on experience in metal fabrication, welding, cutting, forming, or industrial assembly
• Proven ability to define processes that actually work on the shop floor
• Comfort saying “this job is not schedulable yet”
• Experience turning tribal knowledge into enforceable standards
• Strong judgment under pressure
• A production-first mindset

Bonus (not required):

• High-mix / low-volume experience
• Job shop or contract manufacturing background
• Maintenance reliability exposure
• ERP-driven manufacturing environments

What This Role Is Not

• Not a plant manager
• Not a production supervisor
• Not a paperwork or audit role
• Not a consultant engagement

This is an ownership role.

Title: Executive Operations Associate (Part-Time, Hybrid or Remote)

Location: Asheville, NC (preferred);or Remote for the right candidate (US, Eastern or Central time zone)

Type: Contract

About Serve Freight

Serve Freight is a high-reliability logistics operator specializing in complex freight execution for mid-market shippers and project-driven industries. We manage transportation, warehousing, and value-added logistics programs for companies that cannot afford missed delivery windows, broken communication, or unreliable carriers. We are scaling fast in 2026 and building the operational infrastructure to support it. This role is part of that buildout.

The Role

We are hiring an Executive Operations Associate to serve as a direct operational support to our CEO. This is not a traditional Executive Assistant position. It is a hybrid role that combines structured administrative support with process ownership, cross-functional coordination, and limited autonomous decision-making.

You are the person who keeps the CEO out of the weeds so he can focus on the things only he can do. You manage the recurring operational rhythm, handle the tactical items that pile up, and make the small decisions that would otherwise sit in a queue waiting for approval.

60% of your time will be structured, recurring work. 40% will be ad hoc problem-solving and cross-functional coordination.

What You Will Do

Executive & Calendar Management

• Manage the CEO's calendar: scheduling, rescheduling, conflict resolution
• Triage and prioritize the CEO's inbox
• Coordinate travel logistics
• Prepare meeting agendas, pre-reads, and follow-up action items

Data, Dashboards & Financial Support

• Pull and format weekly operational dashboards from Turvo, QuickBooks, and HubSpot
• Run down accounts receivable discrepancies and flag issues
• Prepare financial summaries and talking points for leadership meetings
• Support the company's strategic advisor with slide deck preparation and data pulls

Process & SOP Ownership

• Draft and maintain internal SOPs for recurring operational processes
• Document workflows across departments as they are formalized
• Research and recommend operational tools within defined budget parameters
• Integrate approved tools into existing workflows

Operational Problem-Solving

• Investigate and resolve minor operational issues across departments before they reach the CEO
• Triage which priorities you can personally handle vs. what needs to be escalated
• Reschedule initiative timelines when circumstances change
• Coordinate with internal team members across operations, accounting, and brokerage

Decision-Making Authority

This role carries real decision-making responsibility within defined boundaries. You will not be waiting for approval on every task.

You will decide: which tools to investigate, which software to select within budget, how to reschedule internal timelines, how to triage and route requests, and how to resolve calendar conflicts.

You will escalate: any commitment to external parties, expenditures above threshold, changes to sales or pricing, and strategic or partnership decisions.

Who You Are

• 2-5 years in operations, executive support, or chief of staff-adjacent roles at a growing company (under 50 employees preferred)
• Comfortable wearing multiple hats and operating across departments
• Can make decisions without perfect information; does not freeze with ambiguous direction
• Strong written communicator: SOPs, slide decks, and emails without heavy editing
• Data-literate: can pull and present operational and financial data without being an analyst
• Understands the 1099 contractor model

Tools You Will Use

Turvo (TMS), QuickBooks Online, HubSpot (CRM), Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Excel/Sheets. You do not need to be an expert in all of these on day one, but you should be comfortable learning quickly.

What Success Looks Like

At 30 days: The CEO has measurably more free time. Recurring tasks are transferred and running on schedule.

At 60 days: You are proactively resolving minor issues before they reach the CEO. You have recommended or implemented at least one process improvement.

At 90 days: The CEO feels like you are an extension of himself. Internal stakeholders engage with you directly. Minimal oversight needed.

What This Role Is Not

• Not a calendar-only EA role
• Not a system administrator or IT role
• Not a sales or business development role
• Not full-time. ~20 hours/week with a defined task structure
• Not a strategic advisory role. You execute and support.

Details

• $35-$40/hour, depending on experience
• ~20 hours/week
• 1099 independent contractor
• Remote, US-based (Eastern or Central time zone)
• Start: March/April 2026
