Operations & Fulfillment

Manage all aspects of order fulfillment—including wire spooling, cutting-to-length, packaging in custom forms (spools, coils, serv-paks), and labeling.
Ensure that jobs are processed accurately and on time according to customer specifications.
Reduce downtime and optimize throughput by improving layouts, changeover times, and material flow.


Equipment & Maintenance

Oversee safe use and basic maintenance of shop equipment (spoolers, wire cutters, banding stations, forklifts, etc.).
Make modifications, as needed, to equipment to improve throughput and performance.
Provide service and repairs to equipment to minimize disruptions.


Quality & Safety

Ensure all products meet customer and internal quality standards.
Maintain a clean, organized, and OSHA-compliant work environment.
Reinforce use of PPE and safe material handling practices.


Materials & Inventory

Coordinate raw wire pulls and material staging with the warehouse team and purchasing.
Monitor supply levels for packaging materials, labels, tags, and hardware.
Support cycle counting and basic inventory controls.


Collaboration & Communication

Work closely with Sales and Customer Service to align daily priorities.
Provide input on production labor estimates, throughput targets, and improvement ideas.


Qualifications

5+ years in operations or plant leadership in a manufacturing, wire, or distribution environment.
Experience with wire, fasteners, small-parts packaging, or similar product types preferred.
Strong floor-level management skills—capable of leading by example.
Working knowledge of lean principles, safety protocols, and warehouse best practices.
Comfortable using Excel, basic shop floor systems, and other computer tools.
