POSITION OVERVIEW

Working lead for a small fabrication crew on a travel assignment at a food plant. Industrial and hands-on. You manage the project and you know stainless fabrication, metal layout, and metal production well enough to lead millwrights as a fabrication crew. You say when work is not ready.

The Site Manager owns on-site work through two phases:

- Phase A (first 2 to 3 weeks): rigging-heavy stand-up. Lift and install heavy items with support equipment. Get the field shop ready to produce.

- Phase B: from provided drawings, run precise stainless steel fabrications for a food-grade facility.

This crew is the same crew as the companion Millwright posting.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

- Oversee site safety for the crew, vendors, and contractors

- Coordinate site work so it meets the schedule

- Manage the project, the people, and the problems with professionalism

- Watch costs and work to limit overruns

- Supervise a millwright fabrication crew and coordinate vendors and other on-site resources

- Manage scope, schedule, equipment inventory, and deliverables

- Keep the project plan current and document site work

- Know enough about mechanical trades, rigging, forklift work, and stainless fabrication to lead the work, not only to report on it

DAILY WORK

- Lead daily work for a fabrication crew

- Direct Phase A: rigging-heavy lift and install of heavy items with support equipment. Use straps, chains, forklifts, and other support gear as the work requires

- Direct Phase B: drawing-driven food-grade stainless builds. Metal layout, fit-up, weld quality, finishes, hygiene, and punch items

- Coordinate with the crew, suppliers, vendors, and stakeholders

- Read construction, fabrication, and technical drawings. Catch problems before metal is cut

- Write reports, keep schedules and resource calendars current, lead and attend meetings, and update the Project Manager and stakeholders

- Enforce site safety. Stop work that is unsafe or not ready

- Keep equipment, consumables, and shop tools accounted for on a travel job

REQUIREMENTS

- Management or technical degree and/or equivalent field experience

- 3 or more years leading a fabrication, millwright, or industrial construction crew on metal production work. Stainless steel and food-grade work preferred

QUALIFICATIONS

- Leads skilled trades with respect and experience. Does not hide behind a clipboard

- Computer literate with MS Office (Word, Excel, Teams, and Project or equivalent)

- Reads construction, fabrication, and other technical drawings

- PMP certification or equivalent project-plan experience is a strong plus. This role keeps the project plan current and documents the work

- Forklift qualification preferred

- OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 preferred

- Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, or AutoCAD experience is a plus

- Nice to have only: experience installing or integrating automated manufacturing or material handling equipment. That background is welcome. It is not the hiring bar
