Within your first 90 days, you will have a visible cadence in place and measurable progress toward the department goal.Shop floor throughput: identify what is killing capacity - setup time, changeover, scheduling logic - and start fixing it. Propose at least one concrete improvement initiative with a real implementation plan before day 90.Capacity planning: own the labor and machine forecast against the production backlog. Know what is coming before it hits the floor.Machine health: build and run a preventive maintenance program that keeps spindles turning instead of waiting on repairs.Department performance: KPIs across on-time delivery, first-pass yield, scrap rate, and safety. Lead root cause and corrective action when the numbers go the wrong way.Team development: conduct performance reviews, coach your supervisors and technicians, and build the kind of floor discipline that does not depend on you being present for every decision.Required:8 or more years of CNC machining experience, with at least 3 years in a management or supervisory roleDemonstrated ability to own production KPIs: delivery, yield, scrap, utilizationExperience leading continuous improvement on a live shop floor (setup reduction, lean practices, process standardization)Comfort partnering with Engineering and Programming on new job launches, tooling strategy, and DFMExperience managing budgets: labor, tooling, and overheadAbility to lead root cause analysis and drive corrective action, not just report on problemsNice to Have:Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Technology, Mechanical Engineering, or a related fieldExperience in an AS9100 or NADCAP certified environmentFamiliarity with 5-axis machining, Swiss lathes, or robotic/automated cell operationsBackground evaluating and justifying capital equipment acquisitionsExperience representing a department in customer visits or quality auditsWe are a drug-free workplace / Equal Opportunity Employer and Prohibit Discrimination and Harassment of Any Kind: We are committed to the principle of equal employment opportunity for all employees and to providing employees with a work environment free of discrimination and harassment.
