The Plant Manager plays a critical role in shaping how our Waterloo Indiana facility operates - every shift, every day. Lead people with purpose, turn strategy into execution, and ensure our concrete block operations are safe, reliable, and continuously improving. This is not a desk role. We’re looking for a visible, hands-on leader who earns trust on the floor, solves problems at the source, and delivers results through people.

  • Lead people, equipment, and materials with clear intent to deliver safe, efficient, and high-quality production across a three-shift operation.
  • Set the standard for accountability, teamwork, and follow-through by being present where the work happens.
  • Build and sustain a safety-first culture where everyone looks out for one another and takes ownership of safe work practices.
  • Enable teams to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve breakdowns and constraints quickly, using collaboration and structured problem-solving.
  • Use data, KPIs, and frontline insight to drive continuous improvement, reduce waste, and strengthen process reliability.
  • Translate company goals into clear daily priorities, ensuring alignment from leadership to the production floor.
  • Instill pride in quality by reinforcing product verification, consistency, and “right the first time” execution.
  • Partner closely with maintenance and planning to improve uptime, changeovers, and preventive maintenance effectiveness.
  • Lead capital improvement projects that enhance safety, quality, capacity, and long-term efficiency.
  • Build strong, trust-based relationships with suppliers and external partners, grounded in integrity and shared expectations.
  • Attract, develop, and retain talent by setting clear expectations, coaching performance, and recognizing results.
  • Identify and develop future leaders, supporting succession planning and long-term organizational strength.
  • Facilitate focused, effective operational meetings that celebrate wins, address gaps, and drive action.
  • Champion a clean, organized, and disciplined workplace through 5S and elimination of non–value-added activities.
  • 7+ years of work experience in a production or operations management position
  • Proven experience leading manufacturing operations
  • A leadership style that is hands-on, decisive, and people-focused
  • Strong operational instincts paired with the ability to use data to drive decisions
  • Comfort leading across multiple shifts and maintaining consistency in expectations
  • A passion for continuous improvement, team development, and operational excellence
  • B.S. in engineering, business management or related discipline preferred
  • Experience with D365, Microsoft AX or Microsoft Power BI a plus
