About the role
Our client, an industry leader in continuous materials processing, has recently expanded its North American operations and is seeking a highly capable Plant Manager to take the helm of a key production facility. This is a high-impact leadership role, responsible for overseeing Production, Maintenance, and Process Engineering — with a strong focus on operational excellence, shop floor execution, and performance improvement.
Our ideal candidate will be a decisive, data-driven leader with a proven track record in engagement, change management, continuous improvement, and lean manufacturing. This role requires someone who thrives in a hands-on environment, with the ability to identify gaps in operational performance and drive measurable improvements through systems, processes, and people development.
As a core member of the senior leadership team, the Plant Manager will bring energy, urgency, and a relentless commitment to excellence. The Plant Manager will not only manage day-to-day operations, but also inspire high levels of accountability and collaboration across all functional areas of the plant.
Candidates with Engineering or Maintenance backgrounds, as well as experience within unionized, continuous manufacturing environments, will be strongly positioned for success in this leadership opportunity. In addition, a foundation within the automotive production industry will be of great interest to our Client.
