  • Inventory & Materials Management

  • Oversee material planning, ordering, receiving, and inventory control for the shop and plant.
  • Maintain optimal inventory levels to prevent shortages and minimize waste.
  • Work closely with suppliers and purchasing to forecast material needs based on pipeline and production schedules.
  • Implement inventory tracking, cycle counts, and material flow improvements.
  • Process Improvement & Operational Excellence

  • Identify opportunities to streamline production processes and improve throughput.
  • Lead Lean, 5S, or similar process-improvement initiatives to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.

  • Evaluate new tools, equipment, and technology that support modernization and productivity.
  • Customer & Cross-Functional Interaction

  • Partner with design, project management, and sales teams to ensure accurate translation of customer needs into production.
  • Communicate timelines, production updates, and issue resolutions to internal stakeholders and clients as needed.
  • Participate in customer site visits, inspections, and post-project reviews as required.
  • Leadership & Team Development

  • Supervise production teams, including fabricators, shop technicians, assemblers, and support staff.
  • Provide training, coaching, and performance feedback to ensure high-quality work and professional growth.
  • Foster a culture of safety, accountability, and continuous improvement.
