Salary Range: $101,000 - $148,000 depending on experience

Are you a dedicated professional with a passion for excelling as a value stream manager? The Pivot Group Network, a Michigan manufacturing-focused recruiting group, is committed to fostering meaningful relationships and supporting career growth. We partner with leading manufacturing companies in the Iron River area seeking experienced Value Stream Managers to strengthen their teams.

We are building our network of talent in this field across Michigan's manufacturing regions.

This posting covers Value Stream Manager opportunities with manufacturers based in and around Iron River in Iron County, within about 45 minutes of the city, including Amasa and Crystal Falls.

The Opportunity

  • Ensure compliance with safety rules, quality standards, and company policies.
  • Report performance results and improvement plans to plant leadership.

Recommended Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, operations, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Five or more years in manufacturing operations, including supervisory experience.
  • Working knowledge of lean tools such as value stream mapping, kaizen, and standard work.
  • Experience with production metrics, root cause analysis, and corrective action.
  • Strong communication and coaching skills with hourly and salaried teams.
  • Ability to read production data and use it to make decisions.

Bonus Qualifications

  • Background in machining, assembly, or fabrication processes.
  • Experience with ERP systems and production scheduling software.
  • Prior responsibility for budget or cost center management.
  • Lean Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification.

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.
