Quality

Reinforce quality standards throughout the manufacturing process.
Monitor scrap, rework, and recurring manufacturing issues.

Support the development of standardized manufacturing practices.

Experience with Vertical Machining Centers (VMCs).
Experience with 4-axis and 5-axis machining.
Experience with CNC EDM.
Experience implementing process improvements.
Experience with ERP systems (Odoo preferred).

The Right Candidate

Manufacturing presents new challenges every day. Equipment issues, quality concerns, schedule changes, production interruptions, and customer priorities require timely decisions and effective leadership.

The successful candidate approaches those situations with professionalism, sound judgment, and a sense of ownership. They communicate effectively, support their team, make informed decisions, and maintain production while upholding quality and safety standards.

This position requires someone who leads by example, develops the people around them, and accepts responsibility for the performance of the manufacturing department.
