Lead the charge when the lights go down. This isn't a caretaker role — it's a change-maker role. A growing technology manufacturing company with major enterprise clients is building something new on night shift, and they need a strong, grounded Production Manager to lay that foundation. You'll own the night, drive LEAN culture from the floor up, and build the kind of team that doesn't just hit targets — it raises the bar.

With 2 supervisors reporting to you and roughly 52 total headcount across two shifts, you'll have real scope and real accountability. This company serves a high-profile enterprise client with zero tolerance for missed production targets — which means your impact is felt immediately, and your wins matter.

What You'll Own

• Drive and coach LEAN culture and 5S discipline — not just practice it. Teach it, model it, sustain it beyond the audit.
• Apply PDCA methodology (Plan-Do-Check-Act) to eliminate recurring fires and build structured problem-solving habits across the team.
• Lead, mentor, and develop 2 night shift supervisors and their teams — many of whom are newer and hungry for direction.
• Develop and manage production schedules while proactively identifying and eliminating bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and equipment issues before they become crises.
• Serve as a credible, confident presence during client tours and interactions — this operation regularly hosts high-profile enterprise visitors.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with quality, supply chain, and maintenance; analyze production data and deliver clear, actionable reporting to senior leadership.
• Ensure full compliance with health, safety, and environmental standards.

What You Bring (Required)

• 5+ years in production or manufacturing management
• Deep, hands-on LEAN expertise and strong 5S implementation experience — you've changed behavior, not just documented it
• Structured problem-solving skills (PDCA, root cause analysis) and proven ability to lead and coach teams in a fast-paced environment
• Executive presence — comfortable engaging with senior leadership and high-profile client partners
• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing, Business Administration, or related field
• Familiarity with ERP systems (NetSuite or Oracle a plus)

What Sets You Apart (Preferred)

• Six Sigma certification or working knowledge
• PMP or equivalent project management credential
• NetSuite experience specifically
• History of building or rebuilding team culture — not just maintaining it
• Master's degree in a relevant field

Why This Role

• Strong salary plus bonus and full suite of benefits including matching 401k – and lots of room for career growth!
• High-growth company with real momentum — demand is nonstop and leadership knows it
• Direct impact on outcomes that matter — your work is visible at the enterprise client level
• Collaborative leadership team that values LEAN thinkers and welcomes change agents
• A night shift team that has great potential and needs a great leader — the opportunity to build something is real
