Operations Manager

Job Details:

Head of Engineering & Operations

Onsite in York, PA

This is a senior engineering and operations role for someone who knows high-mix, engineered fabrication and can take ownership of the entire operation.

You’ll lead engineering, production, quoting, procurement, inventory, ERP/MRP, logistics, and continuous improvement, with direct impact on cost, delivery, and manufacturing performance.

The environment is a custom fabrication shop where engineering, CNC fabrication, material flow, and ERP data all have to work together.

What You’ll Do

• Lead engineering, production, and manufacturing operations
• Own daily production execution, scheduling, shop-floor communication, and delivery performance
• Oversee quoting and estimating using BOMs, material costs, vendor pricing, and production inputs
• Direct procurement, sourcing, and vendor management for domestic and imported materials
• Manage ERP/MRP structure including item masters, BOMs, routings, work orders, and inventory
• Improve inventory accuracy, forecasting, cycle counting, safety stock, and reorder points
• Translate sales demand and material usage into purchasing priorities
• Coordinate machinists, fabricators, assemblers, electricians, vendors, and freight
• Manage LTL/freight coordination and on-time delivery
• Drive cost control, CAPEX, safety, quality, and process standardization
• Improve manufacturing processes through 5S, root cause analysis, value stream mapping, and other continuous improvement methods
• Participate in financial reviews involving cost, inventory, backlog, purchasing, and operating results

What We’re Looking For

• Manufacturing and operations leadership experience in a high-mix, engineered-product environment
• Hands-on experience with fabrication, machining, assembly, or metalworking
• Proven ownership of production, scheduling, and shop-floor execution
• Experience with quoting/estimating based on BOMs, material costs, and production data
• Strong procurement, sourcing, and vendor management experience
• Deep ERP/MRP experience including BOMs, routings, work orders, item masters, and inventory control
• Experience improving inventory accuracy, material readiness, and cost variance
• Experience bridging engineering, production, quality, and operations
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology or a similar technical discipline
• Exposure to 5S, root cause analysis, value stream mapping, and process standardization

Experience with CNC laser, CNC plasma, press brake, AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, engineered-to-order manufacturing, cycle counting, LTL/freight, and cost analysis is highly relevant.

The person we’re looking for has already led engineering and operations, production, or plant activities in a complex job-shop or high-mix manufacturing environment. You understand how drawings, travelers, routers, BOMs, CNC processes, setups, cycle times, material availability, and ERP data translate into actual production.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll move between engineering, the shop floor, purchasing, costing, vendors, and operations rather than managing from an office.

The position carries responsibility from quote and material planning through production and shipment, with a direct connection to inventory, cost, delivery, and operating results.
