CNC Machining Operations Manager -- Precision Shop & Metals Manufacturing

Express-Spartanburg

Job Description

Step into operations leadership at the heart of the Upstate. We are hiring for two Operations Manager roles: one embedded in a precision machine shop and the other within a metals manufacturing plant. In both environments, you’ll tap deep machining expertise to guide teams, refine processes, and elevate performance across safety, quality, delivery, and cost.

A day in the role

Lead daily huddles, align priorities, and remove roadblocks for production teams.
Review CNC programs and tooling setups to optimize cycle times and part quality.
Partner with maintenance to strengthen equipment reliability and minimize downtime through planned PM.
Track KPIs, drive root-cause problem solving, and implement changes that boost productivity and quality.
Champion Lean Manufacturing: run kaizen events, standardize work, and sustain continuous improvement.
Ensure SOPs are followed and refined; uphold workplace safety and EHS best practices.
Coordinate with planning via ERP/MRP to lock in material flow, capacity, and on-time performance.

What you’ll bring

Proven experience leading teams in manufacturing or plant operations.
Strong command of CNC machining, tooling, and production processes.
Ownership of machine maintenance strategies, equipment reliability, and downtime reduction.
A record of improving productivity, quality, and overall operational performance.
Hands-on Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement experience.

Proficiencies

Leadership / People Management
Bachelor's Degree
Continuous Improvement
CNC Programming
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Lean Manufacturing Principles
Maintenance and Repair Skills
ERP & MRP Systems
Workplace Safety & EHS Management

These are excellent opportunities for hands-on manufacturing leaders who love developing people, sharpening processes, and driving operational excellence in either a precision machining setting or a metals manufacturing operation.
