What You’ll Do JOB PURPOSEThe Plant Manager owns the manufacturing floor and the production P&L for an assigned plant or facility: safe, quality-compliant execution of the throughput plan, daily staffing and equipment prioritization, cost and conversion performance, and the plant's monthly operational results and corrective actions. The role leads production, maintenance, and support leaders at the site, applies the Hitchiner Operating System (HOS) daily, and partners with Supply Chain (which owns the schedule) and Key Account Managers (who own the customer) rather than owning either.

Daily Operations and Schedule Execution (25%)

Owns daily plant operations: staffing to plan, production sequencing within the master throughput schedule, equipment uptime, labor overtime and shifts to recover to plan, and floor problem resolution.

Who You Are REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Operations Management, Business, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and progressively responsible manufacturing leadership experience. Ten (10) or more years of progressively responsible manufacturing operations experience, including at least three (3) years leading a plant or a major value stream with P&L accountability; investment casting, foundry, or complex engineered manufacturing experience strongly preferred. Demonstrated experience running tiered daily management and structured problem solving on the floor. Demonstrated success leading through supervisors and managers in a multi-shift environment.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES

Comprehensive knowledge of plant operations management, production scheduling execution, maintenance, and plant cost accounting. Thorough knowledge of safety, quality, and compliance management in a foundry environment. Ability to lead a multi-shift plant organization through subordinate leaders and hold accountability daily. Ability to work within a schedule owned by Supply Chain and a customer relationship owned by the KAM while owning the plant's results. Strong problem-solving, financial, and decision-making skills under time pressure. Strong communication skills at every level of the plant.

WORKING CONDITIONS

Work is performed in office and manufacturing environments. Regular presence in production areas is required, where exposure to noise, elevated temperatures, moving equipment, chemicals, and other conditions typical of an industrial facility may occur. Appropriate personal protective equipment must be worn in designated areas. Schedule flexibility required to support multiple shifts, sites, and time zones, including occasional early, late, or weekend availability.

  • 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.
