Production Assistant

Cornelius, NC

Operations Manager – Equipment Manufacturing
Pay Range: $110,000–$120,000 base + bonus potential (up to 20%)

Summary:

An established and privately held manufacturing company is seeking a hands-on Operations Manager to take the reins on everything happening inside the four walls of the facility. It’s a roll-up-your-sleeves, walk-the-floor, solve-problems kind of position. You’ll be working with ownership to transform this operation from A to Z. There’s plenty of structure in place, but also room to improve, refine, and make things your own.

Your Day-to-Day

  • Oversee daily plant operations including production, fabrication, inventory, and vendor coordination
  • Run purchasing and supply chain efforts to keep materials on hand and on time
  • Partner with engineering and service to hit delivery dates and quality benchmarks
  • Own internal systems and processes—improve scheduling, tracking, and accountability tools
  • Lead HR-related efforts, including policy development and team performance management
  • Understand and act on key financial indicators: income statements, cash flow, EBITDA
  • Collaborate with ownership on budgets, incentives, and long-term business planning
  • Be a visible, hands-on leader—solving problems, coaching team members, and removing obstacles

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience leading operations in a manufacturing or metal fabrication setting
  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering, business, or a related field
  • Mechanical mindset—comfortable around CNC mills, lathes, welders, and industrial equipment
  • Solid understanding of budgeting, cash flow, and financial reporting (especially EBITDA)
  • Direct experience managing teams and leading from the shop floor
  • Strong organizational skills with a bias for action and accountability
  • Someone who can work independently, make confident decisions, and build lasting team trust
