Great companies are built the same way great structures are, with strong foundations, talented people, and a commitment to doing things the right way.

WHAT YOU’LL DO
As the Component Manufacturing & Material Sales General Manager, you will lead the overall performance of Michigan Timber & Truss's manufacturing facility and material sales yard. You will be responsible for aligning operations, sales, safety, inventory, and customer service to drive profitability and operational excellence. This role requires a hands‑on leader who can develop teams, optimize processes, manage financial performance, and collaborate with company leadership to support growth while ensuring customers receive exceptional products and services.

Ensure proactive, timely communication of order status, delays, and acknowledgements to internal and external customers across both the plant and the sales yard
Champion a strong safety culture and ensure compliance with OSHA and all applicable regulations across both operations
Partner with Mans Lumber branches and executive leadership on capital planning, staffing, and long‑term growth strategy for Michigan Timber & Truss
Manage vendor and supplier relationships critical to both production (lumber, connector plates, MiTek systems, equipment) and material sales (lumber, building materials, and related product lines)
