Job Description

Plant Manager – Advanced Industrial Equipment

Madison, Indiana (onsite)

Bring your manufacturing leadership to a growing facility that machines, welds, paints, and assembles heavy electro-mechanical equipment . Following a recent automation upgrade, the site is ready for a Plant Manager who can take safety, quality, delivery, cost, and culture to the next level.

Why this role will excite you

• High impact = high visibility: Own all operations for a 300-plus-employee plant that ships mission-critical equipment across North America.
• Fresh capital & new tech: Lead the start-up of an automated production line and shape future investments in robotics, IoT-enabled machinery, and data-driven continuous improvement.
• Make your mark: The leadership team wants bold ideas—whether that’s revamping flow, driving a zero-injury culture, or pushing OEE into world-class territory.

What you’ll do

• Champion safety first , then quality, delivery, and cost in a metal-fab, machining, paint, and final-assembly environment.
• Coach a skilled team of production, maintenance, CI, and supply-chain leaders; set clear KPIs and hold the gains.
• Deploy Lean / Six Sigma tools to eliminate waste, shrink lead times, and boost capacity.
• Partner with Engineering and Supply Chain to launch new products and supplier initiatives without disruption.
• Represent the plant to executive leadership—data in hand, future roadmap in mind.

What you bring

• 10+ years of progressive operations leadership in heavy/industrial equipment or complex assembly manufacturing.
• Demonstrated success introducing automation, Lean systems, and CI culture.
• Sharp financial acumen—you’re as comfortable reading a P&L as you are walking the Gemba.
• Inspiring, servant-leader mindset that wins hearts and minds on the floor.

Why apply

Competitive compensation, bonus, full benefits, and relocation support are just the start. More importantly, you’ll own the P&L, the people, and the future trajectory of a flagship facility that’s investing in technology and its workforce.
