General Manager Operations

Our client, a growing manufacturing operation located just outside of Cleveland, OH, is looking to hire a hands-on General/Operations Manager who can lead plant operations and drive performance across the facility.

This is a high-impact role where you’ll operate as the “CEO of the plant,” working closely with executive leadership while being highly visible on the production floor.

What You’ll Do

• Oversee day-to-day plant operations, driving productivity, efficiency, and profitability
• Own financial performance including P&L, budgeting, and month-end reporting
• Lead and influence a team of onsite employees
• Improve processes, policies, and operational workflows
• Ensure compliance with safety, OSHA, and environmental standards
• Partner with executive leadership (COO & CEO) on strategy and execution
• Build strong relationships across the plant by being present, visible, and engaged

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience as a General Manager, Plant Manager, or Operations Manager running a plant
• Heavy EPA experience/knowledge (highest priority)
• Ideal candidate should focus on outcomes over rigid processes
• Strong leadership presence with a roll-up-your-sleeves mentality
• Solid financial acumen (budgeting, reporting, performance metrics)
• Adaptable, accountable, and able to navigate a fast-paced environment
• Experience in manufacturing required
• Bachelor’s degree preferred (not required)
• OSHA 10/30 and/or Six Sigma highly preferred

If you’re a strong operational leader who thrives in a hands-on manufacturing environment and wants real ownership of a facility, let’s connect.
