Location: Westford, MA 01886
Pay: $175,000 – $190,000/year
Job Type: Full Time
Experience: 10+ years

Why this job is worth considering
This is a full P&L General Manager role over a high-volume, low-mix precision Swiss-machining operation serving medical, semiconductor and aerospace & defense customers. The site runs more than two dozen automated Swiss screw machines and needs a leader who is genuinely data-oriented — someone who thinks in metrics and is comfortable bringing in machine-monitoring software rather than running the site on gut feel. Leadership works closely with a broader group of sister operating companies, with shared sales, finance, HR, IT and capital-planning support behind an individually-run site.
What you'll be doing
Own the site's P&L, cash flow, operating plan and forecast
Drive throughput, machine utilization and labor efficiency across a high-volume, low-mix Swiss-machining operation
Bring a data-driven approach to performance management, including evaluating and using machine-monitoring software
Personally ensure quotations are accurate and reflect true cost, capacity and profitability — accurate quoting is a key responsibility of this role
Maintain ISO 9001:2015 quality standards and audit readiness
Lead customer relationships and partner with the broader group's commercial organization on new business and diversification
Build, coach and retain a capable leadership team
What we're looking for
Required
Bachelor's degree in engineering, operations, business or a related field; equivalent manufacturing leadership experience may be considered
10+ years of progressively responsible manufacturing experience, including 5+ years of leadership experience with P&L and organizational-performance responsibility
Demonstrated experience managing a manufacturing operation or business unit with meaningful P&L responsibility
Strong understanding of machining economics — labor and overhead utilization, capacity planning, quoting and capital investment
Experience interpreting financial statements, budgets, forecasts and operational performance metrics
Experience leading and developing salaried and hourly employees
Preferred
Experience leading a precision-machining, Swiss machining or similarly technical manufacturing operation
Familiarity with Citizen, Tornos or comparable CNC Swiss-style equipment
Experience serving medical, semiconductor, aerospace & defense or other highly regulated, demanding markets
Working knowledge of ISO 9001 or AS9100D and customer-specific quality requirements
Experience with ERP systems, production scheduling, job costing and data-driven performance management — JobBoss² experience is a plus
Background in lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, automation and lights-out production
Experience integrating or operating within a multi-site or private-equity-backed manufacturing organization
Pay, benefits and schedule
$175,000–$190,000 per year, based on experience. Full-time, on-site leadership role.
