Production Manager

Kooks Inc

Production Manager

This Is Not Just Another Production Manager Position

We are an established, growing American manufacturer of premium performance automotive exhaust systems and headers. Our products are trusted by enthusiasts, racers, and industry professionals across the country because we refuse to compromise on quality.

We're looking for an exceptional Production Manager who wants to build something special—not someone who's simply looking for their next job.

If you thrive on accountability, enjoy leading people, solving problems, improving processes, and being on the shop floor every day, we'd like to talk with you.

Your Mission

You will be responsible for leading all daily manufacturing operations while building a culture focused on quality, teamwork, efficiency, safety, and continuous improvement.

You will oversee department leaders responsible for:

  • Welding
  • Tube Laser
  • Tube Bending
  • Fabrication
  • Prep
  • Shipping
  • Receiving
  • Maintenance

You will work closely with our Technical Operations Manager, Engineering, Sales, and Purchasing to ensure production goals are consistently achieved.

What Success Looks Like

  • Production schedules are consistently met.
  • On-time delivery exceeds customer expectations.
  • Quality continues to improve.
  • Employees are engaged, coached, and held accountable.
  • Waste, downtime, and rework are reduced.
  • The shop operates safely, efficiently, and professionally.
  • Department leaders become stronger under your leadership.

Requirements

The ideal candidate has:

  • 7+ years leading manufacturing operations.
  • Experience managing supervisors and production teams.
  • A background in metal fabrication, welding, automotive, aerospace, or similar manufacturing.
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills.
  • Experience with Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement.
  • The ability to make sound decisions under pressure.
  • A passion for developing people and building winning teams.

Compensation

Competitive salary: based on experience

Performance bonus

Health benefits

Paid vacation and holidays

Retirement plan

Long-term growth opportunity

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to join a financially stable, growing manufacturer with a strong reputation and loyal customer base. You'll have the autonomy to lead, improve operations, develop people, and make a lasting impact on the future of the company. If you're looking for a place where your leadership will matter every day—and where excellence is expected—we'd like to hear from you.
