Description

This Is Not Just Another Job.

It’s a chance to own the engine room of transformation.

We’re looking for a senior leader who can not only take charge—but take people with them. Someone with the sharp eye of an engineer, the mindset of a strategist, and the heart of a mentor.

You’ll be the driving force behind a complex, fast-moving operational environment. That means leading high-performing teams, owning the plan from production to planning to maintenance, and making change happen—sustainably, measurably, and with impact.

We’re not here for incremental. We’re here for excellence.

To succeed, you’ll bring:

  • A proven track record in leading operations within a manufacturing environment

  • Deep experience in low-volume, high-precision machining or complex production

  • Strong knowledge of lean methodologies and a passion for continuous improvement

  • Sharp commercial acumen—you understand how the numbers drive the narrative

  • First-class leadership skills, with a coaching style that builds confident, capable teams

  • A commitment to operational safety, technical excellence, and customer focus

  • Experience using ERP systems to drive productivity and visibility

  • A clear understanding of how to align strategy with the day-to-day—and get results

This role needs someone who thrives on clarity and complexity. Who can step back and see the system—but isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves when needed. Someone who motivates, manages change, and makes things better, every day.

Lead. Shape. Deliver.
On time. On cost. Beyond expectation.
