We’re hiring a seasoned CNC Plant Manager to run day-to-day operations at a well-respected, family-owned job shop. We’re looking for someone who thrives in a hands-on environment and can manage a team while getting into the technical details of G-code programming, custom workflows, and scheduling.

- Manage the full shop schedule to keep jobs moving and customers happy
- Provide technical guidance in CNC programming (G-Code expertise required)
- Serve as a key decision-maker for workflow, quality, and throughput
- Work cross-functionally with quoting, estimating, suppliers, and customers
- Troubleshoot complex machining issues and guide real-time fixes
- Monitor shop metrics, drive process improvements, and uphold quality standards
- Train and support a team of about 15 skilled machinists and operators
- Maintain records and production data in ERP and internal systems
Your Background:
- BS degree in engineering, manufacturing, or a related field — or 5+ years of CNC leadership in a machining environment
- Strong knowledge of CNC machining and G-Code programming
- Proven ability to lead and manage teams in a job shop setting
- Skilled in blueprint reading, part analysis, and technical troubleshooting
- Comfortable managing schedules and juggling priorities across projects
- Proficient with ERP systems, Microsoft Excel, and production documentation
- Known for leading by example and building trust with your team
