Project Production Manager

Are you a Manufacturing Leader who loves the \’Project\’ side of Production?

We are currently partnering with a leading technical manufacturer to find a Project Production Manager who thrives at the intersection of engineering precision and operational delivery.

This isnt your typical \”keep the line moving\” role. This is a high-visibility position where you will take total ownership of medium-to-large-scale projects, coordinating everything from the initial Bill of Materials to the final Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) with the customer.

The Challenge

Our client needs a \”bridge-builder\” – someone who can walk into a room of Engineers, Sales Ops, and Warehouse teams and get everyone pulling in the same direction. Reporting directly to the Operations Manager, youll be the person ensuring that complex, high-value orders dont just get built, but get built perfectly and shipped on time.

Whats in it for you?

• End-to-End Ownership: You aren\’t just a cog in the machine; you manage the entire project lifecycle within the production environment.
• Leadership: Youll lead and mentor a team of Team Leaders and Operators, shaping the culture of your shifts.
• Complexity: If you enjoy highly regulated industries and technical documentation (ISO 9001), youll find the work here deeply engaging.

What were looking for:

Were looking for a professional who stays calm when the schedule gets tight and who views a complex production plan as a puzzle to be solved. Specifically:

• Experience: in a production management or project-led manufacturing role.
• Compliance Savvy: You live and breathe ISO 9001 standards.
• Technical Mindset: You can spot an error in a BOM from a mile away and enjoy the \”nitty-gritty\” of technical specs.
• ERP Proficiency: If youve used Microsoft Dynamics, thats a big advantage.

The Ideal Profile:

You likely have a degree-level education and a proven track record of managing resource allocation in a fast-paced environment. Most importantly, you are proactive. You dont wait for delays to happen; you see them coming and pivot the team before the deadline is at risk.
