Full Job Description

Lead the Shop. Drive the Standard. Own the Outcome.

Milwaukee ForgeTech is a well-established and respected steel forger in the Milwaukee area — and we are looking for a Machine Shop Manager who knows how to run a tight operation. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for directing machine shop production, developing procedures, managing tooling and dies, and building a team that performs at a high level every shift.

If you are an experienced manufacturing leader who thrives in a fast-paced forge shop environment, holds your team to a high standard, and knows how to get the most out of both people and equipment — this role was built for you.

What You'll Do

Operations & Production

Plan, direct, and manage all machine shop operations to achieve efficient, on-schedule production consistent with quality standards and company goals
Supervise and coordinate daily activities across manufacturing, scheduling, material procurement, shipping, and receiving
Review operations through reports, staff meetings, floor observation, and direct contact to ensure workflow, quality, and budget conformance
Develop and implement procedures for the manufacture and repair of dies, fixtures, roll tooling, and machine and forge shop equipment
Inspect all dies and tooling completed in the machine shop for correctness and quality
Calibrate all measuring devices used in the machine shop
Order production materials and manage procurement for dies, fixtures, and roll tooling
Supervise the Manufacturing Coordinator and Assistant Scheduler to ensure timely material releases and avoid production delays

Leadership & People Management

Lead, coach, train, and develop machine shop employees to achieve their highest level of performance
Conduct or assist in team and cell meetings; support Team Leaders in executing their responsibilities effectively
Recommend staffing increases or reductions to meet scheduling requirements in a cost-effective manner
Maintain positive employee relations and participate in grievance meetings as required
Review employee records and recommend coaching, guidance, disciplinary action, or salary adjustments as appropriate
Participate in union contract negotiations

Continuous Improvement & Planning

Optimize the output of the machine shop by establishing best practices, refining programming approach being utilized and maximizing the capabilities of equipment and software.
Research new equipment and recommend changes or replacements in collaboration with Engineering
Investigate opportunities to bring purchased items into internal manufacture for cost savings
Work with the executive responsible for the Machining area in budget development and long-range planning for the machine shop
Supervise and coordinate programs essential to manufacturing operations — training, safety, housekeeping, work simplification, and cost reduction
Implement corrective procedures and confer with support staff to resolve operational issues
Meet die and tooling repair schedules as established

What You Bring

Experience & Education

Four-year college degree preferred, or equivalent experience in manufacturing supervision
7 or more years of experience in manufacturing supervision with exposure to forging, machining, or heavy industrial environments
Hands-on experience in a machine shop that supports a forging operation strongly preferred
General knowledge of metal machining equipment, procedures, and tooling — including dies, fixtures, and roll tooling

Skills & Capabilities

Ability to read and interpret blueprints, machine shop drawings, and forge shop service manuals
Proficiency in shop math and calculations related to machine shop work
Strong written and verbal communication skills — able to interact effectively with employees, supervisors, vendors, and other professionals
Proven ability to motivate, develop, and hold teams accountable in a union environment
Computer literacy — proficiency in basic business and manufacturing software
Ability to work in both office and active plant conditions, including extended shifts and occasional weekends

Work Environment

This role operates across both office and active machine shop and forge floor environments. Work days average 9 to 10 hours with some weekend availability and occasional shift changes required. Standard PPE and safety requirements apply throughout the plant.
