Full Job Description

Production Manager

Lead the floor. Develop strong teams. Drive measurable results.

Dakotaland Manufacturing is seeking a hands-on, results-driven Production Manager to lead machining, fabrication, assembly, and logistics operations.

Reporting to the Plant Manager, you will turn customer demand into clear production plans, remove obstacles, strengthen frontline leadership, and improve performance across safety, quality, delivery, and cost.

What You’ll Own

Lead daily production across machining, fabrication, assembly, and logistics.
Build and manage schedules that meet customer commitments and inventory goals.
Monitor throughput, work-in-process, downtime, staffing, and bottlenecks.
Drive ISO 9001 compliance, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions.
Lead Lean initiatives, including Kaizen, 5S, SMED, and value-stream mapping.
Improve OEE, setup time, scrap, rework, uptime, and on-time delivery.
Coach and develop supervisors and shop-floor teams.
Strengthen accountability, cross-training, succession planning, and employee engagement.
Partner with Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Purchasing, and Program Management.
Support new product introductions, production changes, and customer updates.
Oversee preventive maintenance, tooling needs, and equipment reliability.
Lead daily and weekly performance reviews to resolve issues and maintain focus.

What Success Looks Like

You will create measurable improvement in:

Safety performance
On-time delivery
Equipment uptime and OEE
Scrap and rework
Setup and changeover time
Material flow and inventory accuracy
Employee engagement and retention

The Leader We’re Looking For

You are visible, decisive, and comfortable leading close to the work. You set clear expectations, solve problems quickly, and hold teams accountable without losing sight of development and engagement.

You do more than manage production—you build stronger people, better systems, and sustainable results.
