Production Manager

Piller Aimmco is looking for a Production Manager who can bring clarity, consistency, and strong leadership to a complex manufacturing operation.

This is not a desk-only management role. We are looking for a leader who understands what is happening on the production floor, develops capable supervisors, removes barriers, and keeps teams focused on what matters most: safety, quality, delivery, people, and sustainable performance.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, coach, and develop Production Supervisors across all shifts
• Establish clear expectations and build a culture of accountability, teamwork, and continuous improvement
• Maintain strong visibility into production performance, staffing, equipment constraints, material status, quality trends, and operational risks
• Oversee production schedules, labor deployment, throughput, and delivery performance
• Use production data—including downtime, scrap, rework, labor, schedule attainment, and OEE—to identify priorities and guide decisions
• Provide calm, decisive leadership during equipment failures, quality holds, staffing challenges, and other production disruptions
• Strengthen standard work, operating routines, visual controls, and escalation processes
• Partner with Quality, Engineering, Maintenance, Supply Chain, Human Resources, and other teams to resolve issues and improve results
• Drive meaningful improvement projects from clearly defined problem through sustained completion
• Promote a safety- and quality-first environment where shortcuts and recurring problems are addressed—not accepted

The Right Candidate Will Bring:

• Five or more years of progressive manufacturing leadership experience
• Experience directly managing and developing supervisors or comparable leaders
• Strong knowledge of production planning, labor and capacity management, safety compliance, quality systems, lean manufacturing, and structured problem-solving
• A practical, data-driven approach to prioritization and decision-making
• Strong coaching, communication, conflict-management, and cross-functional leadership skills
• Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems, production reporting, and Microsoft Office
• Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing, Operations Management, Industrial Engineering, Business, or a related field—or an equivalent combination of education and experience

Experience in plastics injection molding, ISO 9001 environments, OEE-based improvement, or Lean/Six Sigma practices is especially valuable.

This position is typically Monday through Friday, but flexibility is required to provide leadership visibility and support across our day and night operations.

If you are a dependable, floor-connected leader who enjoys developing people, solving difficult manufacturing problems, and building systems that continue working when you are not in the room, we encourage you to apply.
