Job Description

Description:

Revere Plastics Systems is seeking an operations Manager to help lead our Clyde facility and strengthen the daily operating rhythm that keeps our plant safe, focused, and moving forward. This is a high-impact plant leadership role for a hands-on manufacturing leader who thrives on the floor, brings structure to complex problems, uses data to make better decisions, and knows how to energize teams around clear priorities.

At Revere, we believe great operations are built through disciplined problem solving, waste reduction, strong talent, and a systematic approach to execution. Our operations Manager will help translate strategy into action by reinforcing the Revere Business System, strengthening front-line leadership, and improving performance across safety, quality, delivery, productivity, cost, and people effectiveness.

Why This Role Matters

The Operations Manager serves as a key plant leader and second-in-command for the Clyde facility. You will lead daily operational execution across production, maintenance, and process technology while developing the leaders closest to the work. This role is central to creating a culture of accountability, urgency, trust, and continuous improvement.

You will have the opportunity to make a visible difference every day: reducing waste, removing barriers, improving flow, strengthening safety, increasing reliability, and helping people perform at their best. If you are energized by solving problems, developing talent, and turning data into action, this role offers a meaningful opportunity to positively impact the business.

What You’ll Do

· Lead daily plant execution to meet safety, quality, delivery, productivity, and cost goals.

· Facilitate daily operating routines, including war room discussions, tier meetings, escalation processes, and leader standard work.

· Use data, KPI trends, root cause analysis, and structured problem-solving methods to identify barriers and drive sustainable improvement.

· Champion the Revere Business System by building consistent routines, disciplined follow-up, and a systematic approach to operational excellence.

· Drive continuous improvement initiatives that reduce scrap, improve labor efficiency, strengthen equipment reliability, and eliminate waste.

· Build, coach, and develop front-line leaders through clear expectations, feedback, accountability, and performance management.

· Partner cross-functionally with Maintenance, Quality, Engineering, Supply Chain, HR, Finance, EHS, and plant leadership to align resources and resolve priorities.

· Create a visible safety-first culture through daily floor presence, hazard recognition, and timely corrective action.

What Makes This Opportunity Exciting

· Visible impact: Your leadership will directly influence plant performance, customer delivery, team engagement, and operational discipline.

· Real problem solving: You will tackle meaningful manufacturing challenges using data, process thinking, Lean tools, and practical execution.

· Talent focus: You will shape the capability of front-line leaders and help build a stronger leadership bench for the future.

· Business system strength: You will help embed the Revere Business System into daily work, creating consistency, accountability, and measurable improvement.

· Energy and pace: This is a hands-on, fast-moving environment where decisive leadership, follow-through, and collaboration matter.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a manufacturing operations leader who brings strong floor presence, high energy, leadership courage, and a passion for developing people. The ideal candidate is comfortable leading through complexity, making data-informed decisions, challenging current thinking, and creating structures where teams need clarity and focus.

· 8+ years of operations management experience in a manufacturing environment.

· 8+ years of people leadership experience, including coaching, developing, and holding leaders accountable.

· Experience working in a formal business system or daily management system using KPIs, trends, Pareto thinking, and structured problem-solving methods.

· Strong Lean, Six Sigma, continuous improvement, or waste-reduction mindset.

· Ability to understand plant financials and connect operational decisions to business results.

· Plastic injection molding experience preferred.

· Bachelor’s degree in operations management, Engineering, Business, Supply Chain, or related field required.

· Lean, Six Sigma, safety, quality, leadership, or supervisory certification preferred.

How You’ll Lead

· Bring the 4Es: energy, ability to energize others, edge, and execution.

· Lead from the floor with visibility, credibility, and urgency.

· Use data to tell the story, prioritize the work, and create ownership for results.

· Communicate clearly across shifts, functions, and levels of the organization.

· Build trust through consistency, follow-through, and willingness to have the right conversations.

· Develop leaders who can solve problems, make decisions, and raise performance.
