Manager - Production
About The Position
SIS is looking for a Production Manager with direct experience leading manufacturing operations, preferably in CNC machining or precision component manufacturing.

- Experience leading supervisors or team leaders, developing their capabilities, and addressing performance issues consistently.
- The ability to use production data to identify problems, establish priorities, and verify that improvements deliver results.
- Strong communication and cross-functional problem-solving skills, with the ability to balance immediate delivery needs and longer-term improvements.

- CNC milling, turning, or routing experience is strongly preferred.
- Experience with plastics or composites is helpful.
- Leadership experience in comparable manufacturing environments is welcome.
Responsibilities
- Lead manufacturing operations across shifts, aligning staffing, equipment capacity, and daily priorities with the production schedule.
- Own production results, including output, schedule attainment, labor efficiency, downtime, scrap, and rework.
- Develop supervisors and Production Leads, setting clear expectations and holding leaders accountable for team performance.
- Partner with Scheduling, Engineering, Quality, and Maintenance to resolve constraints involving setups, cycle times, tooling, equipment reliability, and process quality.
- Build workforce capability through training, skill development, and effective use of operators, Setup Specialists, and Operations Specialists.
