CNC Manufacturing Operations Manager, GD&T‑Driven Production

Job Description

Job Description

Are You the Leader Who Turns Complex Prints into Perfect Parts?

Where: Jerpbak Bayless — Solon, Ohio | Type: Full-Time

Imagine This

A customer sends over a tough, high‑mix order with micro‑tolerance callouts and aggressive lead times. You rally programmers and machinists, re‑sequence jobs, and tweak toolpaths to shave seconds without sacrificing surface finish. Inspection hits first‑pass yield, shipping meets the window, and the margin holds. If that scenario energizes you, read on.

Your Mission

• Command daily operations across production scheduling, machining, quality, and shipping.
• Coach and grow CNC machinists and programmers into a high‑performing team.
• Guarantee conformance to ultra‑tight tolerances and stringent quality expectations.
• Advance continuous improvement—streamline flow, cut waste, and boost OEE.
• Own planning and workflow for multi‑axis mills and lathes.
• Champion safety, quality systems, and operational discipline.
• Collaborate with engineering/programming to optimize machining processes.
• Track and act on KPIs: productivity, utilization, and throughput.
• Manage hiring, training, and performance management.
• Support quoting accuracy, drive cost control, and improve plant profitability.

What You Bring

• 7+ years leading manufacturing teams, preferably in CNC machining.
• Expertise in multi‑axis CNC machining (mills and lathes).
• Experience delivering complex, tight‑tolerance components.
• Demonstrated success managing shop operations and production teams.
• Fluency in quality control, process improvement, and lean methodologies.
• Ability to read engineering drawings and apply GD&T.
• Exceptional leadership, communication, and organization.

Bonus Points

• Background as a CNC machinist, programmer, or manufacturing engineer.
• High‑mix/low‑volume or job shop experience.
• Exposure to ERP/MRP platforms.

Rewards

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Performance bonuses
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off
• Retirement plan
