Full Job Description

About the Role

Great Southern Wood – LA, Inc., the makers of YellaWood® pressure-treated lumber, is seeking an experienced Manufacturing Operations Manager to lead the manufacturing division at one of our production facilities. This role owns the full operational rhythm of the plant — from safety and staffing to scheduling and output — and reports directly to the General Manager.

Key Responsibilities

Operations Leadership

Direct day-to-day manufacturing operations across all shifts, ensuring alignment with corporate production and quality standards
Serve as the primary point of accountability for plant performance, coordinating across departments (sales, production, maintenance, quality, and shipping)

Safety

Own plant safety programs, ensuring compliance with OSHA and company safety standards
Lead safety training, audits, and incident investigations; drive a culture of proactive hazard identification and continuous safety improvement

Employee Training & Development

Design and oversee onboarding and ongoing training programs for production staff
Build cross-training plans to increase workforce flexibility and reduce single points of failure
Evaluate performance and support employee development and retention

Efficiency & Continuous Improvement

Monitor key operational metrics (throughput, downtime, waste, labor efficiency) and drive continuous improvement initiatives
Identify bottlenecks and implement process changes to improve line efficiency and reduce cost per unit

Production Scheduling

Own both reactive and proactive scheduling functions:
- Reactive scheduling: Adjust daily/weekly production plans in response to equipment downtime, material shortages, labor availability, or urgent order changes
- Proactive scheduling: Build forward-looking production schedules based on sales forecasts, seasonal demand trends, and inventory targets to minimize disruption and maximize plant utilization
Coordinate with sales, procurement, and logistics teams to align production output with customer demand and raw material (lumber) availability

Inventory Accuracy & Management

Maintain accurate real-time inventory counts of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods
Implement and enforce cycle counting procedures to identify and correct discrepancies between system and physical inventory
Partner with warehouse and logistics teams to ensure accurate receiving, put-away, and shipping transactions are reflected in inventory systems
Use inventory data integrity as a direct input into production scheduling decisions — ensuring forecasts and schedules are built on reliable stock levels rather than assumptions
Investigate and resolve root causes of inventory variances (shrinkage, miscounts, system errors) to prevent recurring issues
Support month-end/quarter-end inventory reconciliation and audits

Qualifications

5+ years of manufacturing operations/plant management experience; wood products, lumber, or industrial manufacturing background preferred
Demonstrated experience with production scheduling and forecasting tools
Experience with inventory management systems (ERP/WMS) and cycle counting processes
Strong knowledge of OSHA safety regulations and manufacturing compliance
Proven leadership managing multi-shift hourly workforces
Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to balance long-term planning with real-time operational decision-making

What We Offer:

COMPETITIVE PAY AND A FULL BENEFITS PACKAGE INCLUDING:

Medical, dental, and vision insurance
Paid vacation and holidays
401(k) with company match
Flexible spending accounts
Dependent scholarship program
