About the role
Plant Manager
American factories deserve a supply chain that moves as fast as they do. The next generation of American manufacturing is being built right now. Nox Metals is the supply chain behind it.
We use software and automation to supply metal to American factories faster than the industry thought possible.
We are hiring a Plant Manager to run our Detroit factory floor and own safety, throughput, and quality across every shift.
You will:
- Make safety the first priority every day, no exceptions
- Run the floor. Own daily execution across all saws and shifts
- Manage technicians very well
- Be an amazing leader that can inspire
- Be obsessed with throughput
- Be obsessed with efficiency
- Remove bottlenecks then find the next ones
- Own quality. Every cut ships to spec the first time
- Use data to make decisions without drowning in dashboards. Numbers guide, intuition decides
- Work across every department to keep material, orders, and people flowing
- Partner closely with our software engineering team. You are their eyes on the floor and they build what you need
You should be:
- Experienced. 4 to 8 years running a factory floor or leading production teams
- Strong on intuition. You can walk the floor and know what's wrong before the report says so
- Sharp with practical math. Yields, cycle times, capacity, margins
- Full of tribal knowledge about machines, metal, and the people who run both
- Urgent, organized, and fast
- Low ego, high agency. You handle big items alone and ask for help when you need it
- Customer obsessed. The part ships on time or you know why
- Never someone who says "that's not my job"
