Job Description

Plant Manager

Do you want to lead a manufacturing operation where the work actually matters and your decisions have real impact?

If so, this opportunity is worth a conversation.

You’ll step into a highly visible leadership position where you have real ownership over a growing manufacturing operation. This isn’t a “keep the lights on” plant manager role. You’ll be shaping production strategy, improving systems, developing leaders, and driving results in a company that’s scaling quickly and doing work tied to critical, high-impact projects.

You’ll have:

• True operational ownership across the entire facility

• A chance to build, mentor, and elevate a leadership team

• The ability to optimize systems and processes, not just maintain them

• Exposure to complex, project-based manufacturing with real-world impact

• A leadership team that values initiative, problem-solving, and continuous improvement

What you’ll be responsible for

This role leads the full production operation, with a strong focus on planning, execution, and team leadership.

You will:

• Own and execute production planning, scheduling, and throughput across departments

• Align manufacturing timelines with project delivery commitments

• Manage and develop department leaders and foremen

• Optimize capacity, resource allocation, and workflow efficiency

• Identify and remove bottlenecks to keep production moving

• Partner cross-functionally with project management and quality teams

• Ensure consistent quality, safety, and operational discipline

• Lead daily and weekly production rhythms, reporting, and performance tracking

• Drive continuous improvement across systems, tools, and processes

What you bring

We’re looking for someone who can operate both strategically and tactically, and who knows how to lead from the floor, not just the office.

You likely have:

• Experience as a Plant Manager, Production Manager, or similar in manufacturing

• Strong background in production planning, scheduling, and capacity management

• Experience leading supervisors or department-level leaders

• A track record of hitting production goals and deadlines

• Comfort working in a fast-paced, evolving environment

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to adapt quickly

• Experience with ERP systems for production planning

Nice to have:

• Experience in steel fabrication or structural manufacturing

• Familiarity with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar tools

Work environment

This is a hands-on leadership role that splits time between the office and the production floor. Expect to be actively engaged with your team, walking the floor, solving problems in real time, and staying close to the work.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage

• Company-paid and supplemental life insurance

• Short-term disability coverage

• 401(k) with employer match

• Paid time off and holidays

• Additional voluntary benefits (accident, hospital, etc.)

A quick note

This role is based full-time on-site in Everett, WA, with occasional travel to nearby facilities as needed.
