Role Overview
The Plant Manager will lead day-to-day manufacturing operations with responsibility for executing production plans, managing plant performance, and overseeing a large, multi-shift workforce in a high-mix, project-driven sign manufacturing environment. This role is focused on plant execution, workforce leadership, safety, quality, and throughput, while partnering closely with the Director of Operations and the corporate Project Management team to ensure clear, accurate, and timely communication regarding production capacity, schedule risks, and delivery timelines. Success in this role requires strong cross-functional collaboration to align manufacturing realities with customer expectations and deliver both high-quality products and reliable customer-facing updates. The Plant Manager will have direct oversight of approximately 175 employees across three shifts, leading supervisors and frontline manufacturing teams, and working in close coordination with corporate Operations and Project Management leadership.
Key Responsibilities

- Execute production schedules and capacity plans established through centralized operations leadership, ensuring adherence to delivery commitments.
- Partner closely with the Project Management team to provide clear, accurate, and proactive updates on production status, capacity constraints, schedule risks, and projected delivery dates.
- Ensure internal production realities are communicated early and effectively so customer-facing teams can set and manage expectations with confidence.
- Maintain accountability for plant-level safety, quality, productivity, and labor performance.
- Lead, coach, and develop supervisors and shift leaders across all shifts to ensure consistent leadership presence and execution standards.
- Ensure finished products meet internal quality standards, engineering requirements, and customer specifications.
- Identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and capacity constraints within the plant and communicate impacts clearly to Operations and Project Management leadership.
- Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on throughput, scrap reduction, rework reduction, and cycle time improvement.
- Collaborate with Supply Chain, Engineering, and Quality teams to support production flow and resolve execution issues.
- Provide consistent, data-driven reporting on plant performance, risks, staffing needs, and improvement opportunities.
- Serve as the primary plant-level leader ensuring alignment between production execution and customer commitments.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Operations, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience in sign manufacturing or metal fabrication will be strongly considered.
- 10+ years of production or plant management experience within sign manufacturing (required), including hands-on leadership across metal fabrication, welding, CNC, and engineered-to-order manufacturing environments.
- Proven experience leading large, multi-shift manufacturing teams in a 24/7 operating environment, with strong command of shop-floor execution, labor planning, and production control.
- Demonstrated ability to partner with centralized scheduling and forecasting functions while communicating clearly with customer-facing project teams on capacity, timelines, and execution risks.
- Strong continuous improvement mindset with experience driving productivity, quality, and throughput improvements in fast-paced manufacturing environments.
- Proven ability to lead through change, restore operational structure, and drive accountability across plant teams.
- Formal safety training or manufacturing leadership certifications are a plus.
