Fabrication Production Manager

Build the Parts. Lead the Team. Keep Production Moving.

S3 Power Sports is hiring a Fabrication Production Manager to lead daily fabrication and manufacturing operations for our off-road and powersports product lines. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for the people, schedules, materials, and processes that keep parts moving through the shop.

You'll work directly with fabrication, welding, engineering, and leadership to turn raw material into finished off-road components. We're looking for someone who knows fabrication, knows how to lead people, and can keep a busy production floor organized and moving.

Quick Overview

This role is built for someone with strong fabrication and welding knowledge who can take ownership of an entire production workflow. You'll manage the fabrication team, build production schedules, coordinate materials and inventory, maintain quality, and solve problems before they slow down the shop.

This isn't a desk-only management position. You'll plan ahead, set priorities, and track production — but you'll also be on the shop floor working with the team and making sure the plan actually gets done.

At a glance, we're looking for:

• Strong fabrication and welding experience
• Personnel management and team leadership experience
• Production scheduling and workflow management
• Inventory and material management experience
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Mechanical aptitude and hands-on problem-solving ability

Nice to have:

• CNC equipment operation, setup, or calibration experience — if you can run and lead on CNC yourself, we'd love to hear from you
• MIG/TIG welding, press brakes, mills, lathes
• ERP/MRP systems, lean manufacturing, or continuous improvement experience
• Automotive, off-road, powersports, or motorsports experience

What You'll Do

Lead daily fabrication, welding, and production operations while managing the employees responsible for getting parts built. Assign work, monitor progress, train employees, maintain accountability, and adjust priorities as production needs change.

Build and manage schedules around orders, inventory needs, labor, equipment capacity, and company priorities. When something changes, make the call, adjust the plan, and keep things moving.

Coordinate raw materials, components, and fabrication consumables while maintaining accurate production and inventory information. Spot shortages early and communicate needs before they become delays.

Work closely with engineering, R&D, purchasing, and leadership to move products into regular production, identify bottlenecks, improve workflow, and find practical ways to build parts better and more efficiently. If you have CNC background, you'll also help keep that equipment running and train others on it.

How You Work

This role needs someone who leads from the shop floor, not just from behind a desk. You're comfortable setting expectations, holding people accountable, and jumping in to solve problems when needed.
