Job Description

Position Summary

As the Plant Manager, you will be responsible for building, enabling, and inspiring a team to execute the operating plan. You’ll be a boots-on-the-ground leader of a facility sized at 45-50,000 sqft, with approximately 60+ team members, overseeing day-to-day operations, driving continuous improvement initiatives, and making data-driven decisions to meet daily, monthly, and annual performance targets.

This is an exceptional opportunity to make an immediate impact in a fast-growing, customer-centered organization. We’re looking for a leader who is curious and entrepreneurial, and who never settles for the status quo—someone who thrives in a collaborative environment and is passionate about operational excellence and sustainable manufacturing.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as a hands-on Operations Leader in a fast-paced, process-driven manufacturing environment focused on remanufacturing automotive lights.
  • Lead and develop a high-performing team responsible for fulfilling customer orders, while championing sustainable manufacturing practices that reduce waste and extend product life cycles.
  • Motivate, coach, develop, and build a championship team. This is a people-driven process.
  • Lead and manage accurate inventory levels, efficient workflows, and appropriate staffing to align with the operational plan and strategic objectives.
  • Instill urgency and accountability across the team to meet and exceed performance targets through clearly defined KPIs.
  • Champion continuous improvement by applying proven methodologies to eliminate waste, reduce variation, and enhance overall efficiency.
  • Foster a culture of safety and compliance, ensuring the facility meets OSHA and company standards while providing a clean, hazard-free environment for all team members.
  • Ensure inventory accuracy and lead best-in-class inventory management practices.
  • Promote teamwork and collaboration, leveraging strong communication and soft skills to hire, onboard, coach, develop, and retain top talent.
  • Demonstrating a passion for quality in every aspect of operations—from product handling to customer delivery—is paramount to our success.

Minimum Qualification

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • Minimum 5 years of manufacturing operations management experience, managing teams of 60+.
  • Experience managing an operation with annual revenue of at least $25 million or more.
  • Proven success in managing controllable cost budgets and using KPIs to drive performance and continuous improvement.
  • Exceptional communication and soft skills, with the ability to lead, influence, and inspire.
  • Willingness to travel approximately 10%, with more travel required during the first 60 days for onboarding and training.
  • Demonstrated ability to synthesize complex information and translate it into daily actionable items and mid- and longer-term strategies.
  • Proven experience fostering an inclusive safety culture and maintaining an EHS-compliant facility.
  • A natural curiosity and drive to challenge the status quo, continuously seeking better ways to serve customers and improve operations.
  • Experience maintaining production while improving quality and sustaining on-time customer delivery.
  • Should be able to work in environments with variable noise levels, lighting conditions, and temperature variation, and to access all areas of the building without limitations.

About Us

About Us:

For over 35 years, TERREPOWER (formerly BBB Industries) has been a leader in sustainable manufacturing, driving the circular economy by extending the life of essential products in the automotive and industrial markets.

Founded in 1987 in Daphne, Alabama by the Bigler family, TERREPOWER began as a small regional remanufacturer of starters and alternators. Our commitment to quality and innovation quickly earned us a reputation as a trusted name in the automotive industry.

Recognizing new challenges and opportunities, in 2019 we set our sights on EV battery upcycling-addressing one of the industry’s most pressing issues. Our engineering team pioneered solutions to extend EV battery life, pushing the boundaries of sustainable innovation.

Recognizing that demand for solar panels would exceed availability and 100,000 tons of waste would potentially go into landfills by 2035, our team searched for an innovative way to upcycle solar panels. With an eye on the future, we developed ways to upcycle solar panels.

Rooted in family and community values, we’re proud to have second-generation employees contributing to our legacy. Backed by Clearlake Capital, we’ve expanded our footprint into Europe with facilities in Spain, Italy, Denmark, Germany and Poland. We now sustainably manufacture and supply an assortment of nondiscretionary repair parts across more than 90 countries.

As we move forward under the TERREPOWER name, we remain committed to the same values that have always defined us: entrepreneurship, teamwork, customer-centered, sustainability, safety.

Why Join Us?

When you join our team, you become part of a company that is redefining how essential products are made, reused and repurposed to reduce waste and maximize resources.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • Purpose-Driven Work – Every day, your work will contribute to extending the useful life of essential products, keeping vehicles on the road and critical systems running.
  • Innovative Mindset – We encourage creative problem-solving and bold ideas to push the boundaries of what is possible.
  • Global Reach, Local Impact – With operations in North America and Europe, we have a global presence but remain deeply connected to the communities we serve.
  • Growth & Development – Whether you’re on the production floor, in engineering, or part of our corporate team, we invest in your success through training, mentorship, and career advancement opportunities.
  • A Culture of Collaboration – Rooted in teamwork and shared values, our employees work together to tackle challenges and drive meaningful change.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
