Job description

Director of Plant Operations Lean Manufacturing & Strategic Growth

Up to $100,000 Base Salary Wisconsin Facility Area First Shift Elite Performance Incentive & Full Benefits

EXPERIENCE DEPTH: 8+ Years of Progressive Plant Management / Industrial Operations Leadership CORE EXPERTISE: Lean Manufacturing (CI, 5S, Kaizen), Production Master Scheduling, & Multi-Layered Supply Chain Management TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE: Heavy Industrial Fabrication (Welding Workflows, Capital Equipment, Structural Assembly) WORK SCHEDULE: Full-Time, Permanent W-2 Leadership Position (100% On-Site) STABILITY GUARANTEE: Established 40-Year Corporate Record with Zero Layoffs and High-Demand Sustainable Technology Line

If you are a seasoned manufacturing operations executive looking to escape the instability of corporate bureaucracy, rotating ownership groups, and unpredictable downsizing cycles, this is your professional anchor. Operating out of an expansive, highly advanced, and immaculate facility, our client is a heavily capitalized market leader that designs and manufactures innovative, eco-forward industrial equipment. Because their specialized capital systems deliver a definitive sub-one-year ROI for global clients, the organization enjoys a recession-proof backlog and an airtight financial foundation.

In over four decades of business, this elite organization has never executed a single layoff, fostering a transparent, zero-politics culture where top-tier operational leaders are given true autonomy. This high-impact role is newly created due to rapid corporate expansion, offering you direct oversight to inherit a highly skilled assembly team and deploy your full Lean toolkit to scale a world-class production footprint.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Orchestrate all plant operations including advanced custom fabrication, master scheduling, strategic procurement, and end-to-end outbound logistics to guarantee world-class delivery metrics.
  • Champion a lean culture by acting as the primary mentor on the floor, instilling personal accountability, cross-functional safety standards, and rigorous 5S cleanliness guidelines.
  • Partner with the production manager to diagnose workflow bottlenecks, streamline resource allocation, and bridge communication perfectly between engineering and the shop floor.
  • Drive operational cost-reduction strategies by analyzing material yields, optimizing vendor freight programs, and leading proactive waste elimination initiatives.
  • Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to analyze plant throughput, evaluate prospective CapEx equipment investments, and implement standardized best practices.

What We Are Looking For

  • Distinguished operations pedigree featuring 8+ years of successful leadership as a Plant Manager or Operations Director overseeing complex industrial fabrication environments.
  • End-to-end supply chain fluency with deep experience auditing raw material procurement, shipping/receiving protocols, inventory control, and logistical scheduling.
  • Proven Lean architecture execution with a verifiable track record of utilizing Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen events, and Root Cause Analysis to secure measurable efficiency gains.
  • Rock-solid career stability showing long-term organizational dedication and a clean background free of short-term job-hopping (3+ year tenures preferred).
  • Exceptional executive presence with the sophisticated interpersonal skills required to align front-line labor teams with senior executive leadership.
