Production Manager

Prequel Solutions

Job Description:

Production Manager - Discrete Manufacturing
Location: Cary, IL (onsite)

We're partnering with a stable, growing manufacturing company in Cary, IL to hire a Production Manager to lead multiple shop-floor areas and drive performance across safety, quality, delivery, and throughput.

This is a high-visibility leadership role with a clear path to broader operational responsibility as the business continues to scale.

What You'll Own
  • Lead day-to-day production across multiple departments (safety, quality, delivery, output)
  • Develop and coach frontline supervisors; drive accountability and performance
  • Identify bottlenecks and improve flow to increase throughput
  • Partner with Materials/Planning to align production with demand
  • Ensure strong shop-floor discipline (processes, ERP transactions, execution)
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives (Lean, standard work, operating rhythms)
What We're Looking For
  • Proven leadership in a production/manufacturing environment (manager or strong supervisor stepping up)
  • Background in discrete manufacturing (assembly, machining, fabrication, etc.)
  • Experience leading through supervisors and managing multiple work areas
  • Hands-on, floor-oriented leader who can drive execution-not just strategy
  • Lean/CI mindset (formal or practical experience)
  • ERP exposure (Dynamics or similar a plus)
Why This Role
  • Clear runway for growth into a larger operations role
  • Strong leadership team and investment in process improvement
  • Stable, established business with a focus on operational excellence
Compensation
  • Competitive base salary + bonus
  • Full benefits package (health, retirement, PTO)
