A bit about us:

We are a long-established, capital-intensive advanced manufacturer with decades of history. We operate a large, specialized production facility and are in the middle of a major, investment-backed expansion that is significantly growing our capacity and modernizing our operations. We pair the stability of a proven manufacturer with the energy of a company entering its most ambitious growth chapter.

Why join us?

• Build, not just maintain. You own fixed assets and CIP during a once-in-a-company-history capital expansion, with hundreds of millions in new equipment and projects coming online.
• High visibility and real cross-functional reach. You partner directly with Operations, project managers, and finance leadership across the business rather than sitting in a back-office silo.
• Investment-backed momentum. A major, fully funded expansion is underway, with capacity set to roughly double.
• Meaningful complexity and ownership. Large gross PPE, long-lead capital deposits, and incentive-credit tracking make this a genuinely interesting technical seat.
• Connected, accessible leadership and a culture that rewards smart, hands-on people who are willing to roll up their sleeves.
