Baltimore Air Coil • Full-time • Jessup, Maryland, United States • 10h ago

Position Purpose

A hands-on, execution-focused leader responsible for driving world-class manufacturing performance across the Americas region, covering 1,000+ employees in four plants (Milford, DE; Dayton, TN; Monterrey, MX; Madera, CA).

This role is accountable for building GREAT factories—delivering safety, quality, delivery, and cost results with relentless urgency, operational discipline, and employee engagement. The leader sets the tone for performance, ensuring each plant executes daily to meet throughput targets and sustains a culture of accountability, pride, and continuous improvement.

Responsibilities

Drive a Culture of Urgent, Disciplined Execution
- Establish clear expectations for daily, weekly, and monthly performance with strict accountability to throughput, schedule attainment, and operational metrics.
- Lead with urgency—closing gaps in real time and ensuring issues are addressed immediately, not deferred.
Build and Sustain GREAT Factories
- Create high-performance environments defined by strong leadership, engaged employees, visual management, and standard work discipline.
- Routinely assess plant maturity and take decisive action to elevate underperforming operations.
Deliver Throughput and Operational Targets
- Ensure each facility reliably meets or exceeds production output, on-time delivery, and cost commitments.
- Remove bottlenecks, improve flow, and drive productivity with a hands-on, results-first approach.
Lead Plant Managers with High Expectations
- Hold plant leadership fully accountable for performance while actively coaching and developing them.
- Instill a no-excuses mindset with clear ownership of results at every level.
Elevate Employee Engagement and Accountability
- Build a culture where frontline teams are aligned, motivated, and actively contributing to improvement.
- Reinforce behaviors that drive ownership, pride in workmanship, and operational discipline.
Drive Safety as a Non-Negotiable Standard - Ensure a zero incident mindset through consistent leadership presence, accountability, and disciplined adherence to standards.
Execute Growth and Capacity Expansion - Lead plant ramp-ups and capacity expansion with precision, ensuring execution keeps pace with demand without sacrificing performance.
Standardize and Strengthen Operating Discipline Across Sites
- Deploy and enforce common operating rhythms: tier meetings, KPI reviews, leader standard work, and problem-solving rigor.
- Ensure consistency in how work is planned, executed, and measured across all facilities.
