About The Position

At Pyrotek, manufacturing is more than production output — it’s about building strong teams, driving continuous improvement, and creating processes that deliver quality at scale. We’re looking for a Manufacturing Manager who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and enjoys leading people just as much as improving operations. This role is ideal for someone who can move seamlessly between the production floor and strategic planning conversations — a leader who understands manufacturing fundamentals, values collaboration, and knows how to build a culture of accountability, safety, and innovation.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Operations, Engineering, Business, or related field — or equivalent experience
• Manufacturing leadership experience in a production environment
• Experience with production scheduling, capacity planning, and workforce planning
• ERP system experience and strong analytical capabilities
• Strong floor presence and hands-on operational mindset
• Ability to lead with humility, accountability, and integrity
• Comfortable making decisions in a fast-moving manufacturing environment
• Skilled communicator who can build trust across all levels of the organization
• Passion for developing people and improving processes
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with day-to-day operational execution

Nice To Haves

• Lean Manufacturing and/or Six Sigma experience strongly preferred
• Experience leading teams through change and continuous improvement initiatives

Responsibilities

• Lead and support production teams across manufacturing operations
• Drive safety, quality, delivery, and productivity performance
• Manage production planning, staffing, workflow, and equipment utilization
• Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Supply Chain, Sales, and Quality teams
• Champion Lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives
• Coach, develop, and mentor team members and frontline leadership
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, material flow, and manufacturing capabilities
• Support innovation, new technologies, and operational growth initiatives
• Use data, KPIs, and operational metrics to make informed business decisions
• Help create a culture where communication, accountability, and teamwork matter

Benefits

• We invest in people who want to grow, lead, innovate, and make an impact.
• You’ll join a collaborative environment where ideas are welcomed, safety comes first, and continuous improvement is part of everyday work.
