Lindsay Precast | Precast Concrete Manufacturing

Reports To:

General Manager

Department:

Plant Operations

FLSA Status:

Exempt

Employment Type:

Full-Time

Position Overview

The Plant Manager is responsible for the safe, efficient, and profitable operation of a precast concrete manufacturing facility. This role provides strategic and hands-on leadership across all production, quality, safety, maintenance, and workforce functions — ensuring the plant consistently delivers high-quality precast products on schedule and in compliance with all regulatory and company standards. The Plant Manager drives a culture of continuous improvement, operational discipline, and employee development in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

Production & Operations Management

Direct all daily plant operations in alignment with company policies, production schedules, and customer commitments.
Oversee pouring schedules to ensure molds are staged, prepared, and ready for production as required.
Allocate labor across production teams to meet incentive efficiency targets and shift output goals.
Partner with scheduling and dispatch to align product readiness with delivery requirements and fleet availability.
Coordinate inbound and outbound material flow with forklift operators and dispatch; enforce proper product handling protocols to minimize damage and rework.
Monitor raw material and finished goods inventory in collaboration with purchasing to prevent production interruptions.
In the event of equipment failures, non-conforming product, or other disruptions, lead rapid response efforts to protect customer commitments and conduct root cause analysis to prevent recurrence.

Safety, Quality & Compliance

Champion a safety-first culture across all shifts and departments; enforce OSHA, EPA, and company safety standards without exception.
Lead safety meetings, incident investigations, and corrective action implementation to drive continuous improvement in safety performance.
Partner with Quality Control to ensure all precast products meet engineering specifications, industry standards (e.g., NPCA), and customer requirements.
Drive ongoing scrap reduction, rework minimization, and quality yield improvements through data-driven analysis and corrective action.
Ensure plant housekeeping standards are maintained consistently across all areas and at the close of each shift.

Maintenance & Facilities

Collaborate with the maintenance department to ensure all equipment, tooling, and molds are maintained in optimal working condition.
Identify capital needs and equipment upgrade opportunities; develop business cases and coordinate implementation with leadership.
Manage environmental and seasonal facility considerations, including energy efficiency and building systems (e.g., minimizing door open time during cold weather operations).

Workforce Leadership & Development

Recruit, develop, and retain a skilled and motivated production workforce in partnership with Human Resources.
Select, train, and mentor plant supervisors and team leads; build bench strength and ensure coverage plans are in place for all key roles.
Conduct regular performance reviews, deliver coaching and feedback, and address performance issues promptly and professionally.
Schedule and lead plant-wide meetings to communicate priorities, performance results, and safety updates.
Control and minimize overtime while balancing production needs; optimize staffing levels through proactive workforce planning.
Attend corporate training and leadership meetings as required.

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

Ensure accurate and timely preparation of all production reports, labor reports, and operational metrics.
Analyze plant performance data to identify trends, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities; implement corrective actions with measurable outcomes.
Lead or support lean manufacturing, 5S, and other continuous improvement initiatives across the facility.
Develop and manage departmental budgets; control costs and report on variances with actionable explanations.

Required

Minimum 5 years of experience in precast concrete manufacturing, with at least 3 years in a plant leadership or operations management role.
Deep working knowledge of precast concrete production processes, including form work, reinforcement, pouring, curing, and finishing.
Demonstrated ability to lead, develop, and hold accountable an hourly and salaried workforce.
Strong working knowledge of OSHA safety regulations and a proven track record of building safety-first plant cultures.
Familiarity with quality standards applicable to precast concrete (e.g., NPCA plant certification, ACI standards).
Proficiency in production planning, scheduling, and labor cost management.
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and mix designs.
Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite; experience with ERP or production management systems preferred.

Preferred

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, or a related field — or equivalent combination of education and experience.
NPCA certification or experience in an NPCA-certified facility.
Experience with lean manufacturing, 5S, or Six Sigma methodologies.
Prior experience in a PE-backed, multi-site manufacturing environment.
