Manufacturing Shop Manager

Snowline Engineering•Cameron Park, CA

10d•$105,000 - $140,000•Onsite

About The Position

Snowline is a precision CNC machining company serving aerospace, defense, and high-reliability customers. We’ve grown from 45 to 115 people in two years, across two buildings and 37 machines. The Shop Manager owns daily production flow: what runs, in what order, on which machine, with which people. This is a floor job, not a desk job. You will be the person who knows where every job stands without looking it up.

Requirements

5+ years supervising or managing a CNC machining floor; aerospace, defense, or medical preferred
Fluent in shop-floor reality: setup vs. run time, fixturing constraints, tool availability, how a schedule breaks
Direct experience with ERP/MRP production data — JobBoss, E2, Epicor, or equivalent
Able to read prints and GD&T well enough to challenge a routing, not necessarily to program
Track record building people, not just assigning them. We promote from within and we want a manager who makes that possible.
U.S. Person as defined under ITAR (22 CFR 120.62). This position requires access to export-controlled technical data.
Able to pass background check and drug screen

Direct supervision of shop supervisors and leads; first-line attendance and performance management
Job data quality in our ERP (JobBoss²): routers, work center assignments, time capture
