About the role

GTI is a contract manufacturing partner supporting customers in renewable energy, power generation, infrastructure, and industrial systems.

We fabricate custom designed, purpose-built enclosures and skids for our customers and perform mechanical and electrical integration in-house, delivering a true turn-key product to our customers. Our scope spans Engineering, prototype builds, through full production, requiring teams that can move fast, adapt, and execute with precision.

GTI Values: Safety I Quality I Customer Obsession I Speed I Agility

We're hiring a Production Manager to own the shop floor for one of our manufacturing value streams — from the moment material is released to the moment a finished product ships. This is a hands-on leadership role with real visibility: you'll run production day to day, and you'll be the connective tissue between production and the teams around it — fabrication, welding, engineering, and quality — without those functions reporting to you directly. If you're a strong production leader who wants more scope, more cross-functional influence, and a direct line to outcomes, this is that next step.

Responsibilities

Run daily production operations for your value stream — staffing, scheduling, throughput, and output — from material release through final shipment

Lead and develop production supervisors and their teams across a 25–100+ person production organization, building accountability-driven frontline leadership

Own the safety, quality, delivery, and cost performance of production within your value stream

Drive manufacturing readiness for new product introductions, working ahead of ramp to catch issues before they hit the floor

Identify and remove production bottlenecks; run Lean tools like value stream mapping and Kaizen events to keep work moving

Maintain OSHA compliance and lead a visible, hands-on safety culture on the floor

Day to day, you'll coordinate closely with:

Metal Fabrication — sequencing and hand-offs into production

Welding Operations — scheduling and quality hand-offs

Mechanical & Final Assembly — flow and staging

Manufacturing Engineering — process changes and NPI readiness

Quality Operations — closing the loop on defects and rework

Material Flow / Supply Chain — inbound timing and shortages

You're the person who makes sure a job moves cleanly from one discipline to the next — resolving the friction between teams so nothing stalls on the floor.

Required Qualifications

7–10 years in manufacturing leadership, including experience directly managing production supervisors

Background in contract manufacturing (EMS, industrial, or engineered-to-order environments)

Working knowledge of metal fabrication, welding, and assembly operations — you don't need to have run these functions, but you need to speak the language
