What You Bring:

  • Relevant manufacturing experience; a degree is not required.
  • Five or more years of manufacturing experience and at least three years leading employees.
  • Experience in fabrication, welding, assembly or custom manufacturing, including scheduling, inventory, purchasing, quality and shipping.
  • Ability to read complex drawings, blueprints and specifications.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude, communication, organization, problem-solving and attention to detail.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and inventory software; QuickBooks experience is a plus.
