Plant Manager - Net Zero Modular Construction

Drive throughput toward our targets and improve labor efficiency by working the lowest-performing processes first.

Deliver a quality product. Own the in-process and line checks, catch and correct defects on the floor, and build every module to standard.

Lead safety on the floor day to day. Run safety walks, close out action items, and build a culture where working safely is how the floor operates.

Own schedule reliability and on-time module completion for active projects.

Build the supervision and shift structure the floor needs as the team grows from around 20 to 80 or more.

Recruit, onboard, and develop builders and leads, and grow technicians into leaders the way good operators do, through real scope and candid feedback.

Partner with HR and Recruiting on the high-volume hourly hiring and onboarding the ramp requires.

Set clear expectations and a floor culture that takes pride in what it ships.

Help stand up the Billerica facility, from floor layout and work cell design through commissioning and first article, and lead the production team through the move.

Establish the daily operating system at the new facility so it performs from the start rather than relearning what we already know.

Translate the production plan into staffing, training, and floor readiness on an accelerated timeline.

Be a power user and requirements partner for our internal factory software team. You set the floor's requirements and you live in the tools every day.

Run standard work and continuous improvement on the floor, and partner with our operational excellence function to make the factory more capable every week.

Manage from the data the floor generates. If it is not measured, it is not managed.

Build trust with the production team and current floor leads. Spend most of your time on the floor, not in a conference room.

Learn current-state performance (throughput, labor efficiency, quality escapes, safety, schedule reliability) and name the top three constraints holding back the build plan.

Re-establish a daily operating rhythm the team owns: a huddle that works, clear daily targets, and visual management people actually use.

Get smart on the Billerica move and what has to be true on the floor for a clean ramp.

Deliver a measurable lift on the top constraint (cycle time, labor minutes per square foot, quality escapes, or schedule adherence) with a repeatable mechanism behind it.

Run a stable tiered daily management system and weekly target reviews that step down along the glidepath.

Produce a floor-readiness plan for Billerica in partnership with Manufacturing: layout, work cells, staffing, training, and commissioning sequence with clear dates.

Stand up the day-to-day quality and safety routines that scale with a growing hourly workforce.

Run a floor that hits its weekly build plan predictably, with throughput, quality, and labor efficiency trending the right way and a supervision structure that holds under load.

Lead the production team through the Billerica launch and ramp to stable output at the new facility.

Reduce the floor's reliance on heroics and on any single person, with leads who can run their own areas and a growing bench behind them.

Deliver a clear step-change in floor performance (cost per unit down, on-time completion up, escapes down) that supports the company's volume and unit-economics goals.

7+ years in manufacturing operations, including running a production floor through a real ramp or facility launch, with direct labor reporting to you.

You have built a floor from a low base: stood up work cells, supervision structure, and a daily operating system where they did not exist.

Strong people leadership, with a track record of growing builders and technicians into leads and holding a team to targets without losing them.

Comfort with high-mix, project-based production where the bill of materials and the work move with each job.

A real floor presence. You earn trust by being on the floor and solving problems, not by managing from a distance.

Strong data orientation and comfort in a technology-forward factory where software is part of how work gets managed.

Experience taking a production operation from low rate to high volume.

Construction, modular, or other high-variability production background. Strong manufacturing operators from other industries translate well.

Familiarity with lean and TWI, and comfort running standard work and continuous improvement on the floor.

Experience setting requirements for and partnering with an in-house software or MES team.

You have lived the prototype-to-production transition and know what breaks.
