Job Description
American Drillpipe, LLC — Plant / Production Manager – Startup & Quality Systems
Location: Chickasha, Oklahoma (on-site) About ADP American Drillpipe is a domestic friction-weld drill pipe manufacturer building toward API Q1 and API Spec 5DP certification. We run a modern friction-weld line (200-ton welder), post-weld heat treatment, and in-house inspection, serving oil & gas and adjacent markets (geothermal, mining, water well, HDD). This is a ground-floor, build-it-right role: you'll help bring the line online, stand up the quality system that governs it, and run day-to-day production as we scale. Benefits / Perks- Competitive compensation
- Career growth as the company scales toward full production
- Ground-floor role in a debt-free, family-owned manufacturer
- Assist with installation, setup, and commissioning of production equipment (friction welder, PWHT induction system, machining and handling equipment)
- Support equipment validation and qualification activities, including documenting installation and performance verification for QMS records
- Help establish preventive maintenance practices and equipment readiness routines
- Coordinate with Engineering on PLC/controls integration and process parameter setup
- Troubleshoot equipment issues during startup and early production
- Manage daily production on the friction-weld line, including operator station assignments and rotation schedules
- Coordinate material flow from inbound receiving through welding, PWHT, inspection, and outbound shipping
- Schedule production runs and staffing to meet delivery commitments
- Oversee shop-floor housekeeping, equipment readiness, and safety practices
- Manage inbound/outbound logistics, including coordination of off-hours truck loading
- Track and report production metrics (throughput, scrap/rework, on-time delivery, downtime)
- Help build and train the production crew as the line ramps to full capacity
- Assist in developing and rolling out shop-floor procedures and work instructions aligned to API Q1 and 5DP
- Help implement document control and records practices on the production floor
- Support qualification of externally-provided processes (tool joints, heat treat, upsetting) by gathering and organizing supplier conformance records
- Drive adoption of QMS procedures by the production crew during buildout
- Support internal readiness activities ahead of the certification audit
- 5+ years of manufacturing operations or production supervision; drill pipe, OCTG/tubular, or heavy-industrial fabrication strongly preferred
- Mechanical aptitude and hands-on experience installing, commissioning, or maintaining production equipment
- Experience bringing a new line or facility online (greenfield/startup or major expansion) strongly preferred
- Working knowledge of welding, heat treatment, and NDE/inspection processes
- Hands-on experience with API Q1, API 5DP, ISO 9001, or a comparable quality system—building or implementing it, not just working under one
- Demonstrated ability to lead and develop a shop-floor crew
- Strong organizational and documentation skills—procedures, records, recordkeeping discipline
- Excellent verbal and written communication
- Willing to work on-site in Chickasha, OK during a demanding buildout phase
