Senior Operations Manager

Full-time

Sky Limit Systems

Senior Operations Manager – Aerospace Manufacturing | Precision Machining

We’re seeking a high-impact Senior Operations Manager to lead a complex, high-mix, high-volume machining operation. This is a leadership role for someone who understands the realities of a machine shop environment and can translate that into execution, accountability, and measurable results.

This position is built for a strong operator—someone who can step in, bring structure, optimize performance, and elevate the team while driving the business forward.

What You’ll Own

  • Full ownership of day-to-day operations across a precision machining environment
  • Leadership and development of supervisors, leads, and machinists to drive performance and accountability
  • Oversight of multiple concurrent production workflows, ensuring on-time delivery and quality standards
  • Establishing and refining production systems, KPIs, and reporting structures to improve visibility and decision-making
  • Driving continuous improvement initiatives across throughput, efficiency, and cost optimization
  • Partnering cross-functionally with engineering, programming, and quality to resolve complex production challenges
  • Building scalable processes that support growth and operational maturity

What You Bring

  • 5–10+ years of experience in machining/manufacturing operations, with clear progression into leadership roles
  • Strong understanding of machine shop dynamics (CNC machining, scheduling, tooling, workflow constraints)
  • Proven ability to lead teams, develop people, and drive accountability at multiple levels
  • Strong Excel and data analysis skills (pivot tables, reporting, operational dashboards) to support data-driven decisions
  • Experience managing high-mix, low-volume production environments
  • Demonstrated track record of improving throughput, reducing bottlenecks, and delivering results
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, or related technical field preferred

What Sets This Role Apart

This is not a maintenance role—it’s a build-and-improve opportunity. You’ll have the autonomy to implement structure, introduce better systems, and directly impact operational performance.

We’re looking for someone who can think strategically, execute relentlessly, and grow with the business as it scales.
