Plant Manager

Omega Point Partners

Advanced Manufacturing Plant Manager

We are seeking an experienced Advanced Manufacturing Plant Managers to lead operations at advanced metals recovery facilities.

These plants combine industrial manufacturing, advanced automation, and AI-driven sorting technology to produce high-purity recycled aluminum alloys. The Plant Manager will lead the safety, operational performance, production output, and continuous improvement efforts for the site while helping scale a rapidly growing industrial technology company. This is not a traditional aluminum smelter or foundry. The process is closer to advanced materials sorting and upcycling. They are essentially building next-generation metal recycling plants. Their recycled aluminum feeds into automotive manufacturing, construction materials, aerospace, rolling mills, and die casters.

This role offers a rare opportunity to run a plant at the intersection of: advanced manufacturing, AI and automation, and sustainable metals production.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • This is Cutting-Edge Industrial Technology! The company is redefining metals recycling with AI-powered sorting systems capable of identifying aluminum alloys instantly. This technology allows manufacturers to reuse metals without energy-intensive re-melting processes.
  • You'll be leading a plant that is Building the Future of Metals Manufacturing
  • This is a high-growth company and is backed by significant investment and is rapidly expanding its facility footprint to meet growing demand for recycled aluminum.
  • Aluminum demand is projected to increase 40% by 2030 as automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturers increase the use of lightweight metals
  • As the company continues expanding its facility footprint across North America, Plant Managers will have opportunities to grow into broader operational leadership roles.
  • This role provides the opportunity to help shape operations during a high-growth phase.
  • This leadership role has strong compensation and a highly competitive benefits package, including:
  • Strong compensation with a bonus that pays consistently, stock options, and a 100% 401k match
  • Generous corporate relocation to part of the rapidly growing Nashville metro region, with its entertainment and music scene
  • Comprehensive health insurance (among the best available in the industry)
  • 3 weeks paid vacation to start
  • No state income tax in Tennessee
  • Lower cost of living compared to most major metros
  • Access to Old Hickory Lake, state parks, and outdoor recreation
  • Strong job growth and economic expansion

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead all aspects of plant operations, production, and workforce management
  • Build and develop a high-performing operations and maintenance team
  • Drive a strong culture of safety, accountability, and operational excellence
  • Ensure production targets are met across safety, quality, delivery, and cost
  • Optimize plant throughput and equipment utilization
  • Monitor key operational metrics and implement improvement initiatives
  • Oversee operations of AI-enabled sorting systems, sensors, and automated processing equipment
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to improve system performance and reliability
  • Support continuous improvement and process optimization
  • Implement best practices in:
    • Lean Manufacturing
    • Reliability and preventive maintenance
    • Process improvement
    • Operational efficiency
  • Manage plant budgets and operating costs
  • Ensure regulatory compliance and environmental standards
  • Collaborate with corporate leadership on plant growth initiatives

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree and 5 years of previous experience as a Plant Manager or Senior Operations Leader
  • Ideal candidates will bring experience leading operations in environments such as metals processing, recycling operations, automotive manufacturing, heavy industrial manufacturing or materials processing
  • Leadership in automated or technology-driven manufacturing environments is a plus
  • Experience in scaling operations or improving plant performance is highly valued
  • Skilled in implementing Lean Manufacturing principles
  • History of optimizing operations, delivering cost improvements, and implementing technology
  • Strong safety and continuous improvement mindset
  • Demonstrated ability to lead and develop plant teams
  • Experience in industrial automation environments
