    Description

    Plant Manager

    Locations: On-site | Wilmington, DE & Atlantic City, NJ

    A privately held, growth-oriented manufacturer is seeking a hands-on Plant Manager to lead two stable, mid-sized production sites in the Mid-Atlantic region. Each facility runs efficiently from an equipment standpoint—the real mandate is to elevate culture, supervisor capability, and overall engagement while sustaining world-class KPIs. If you excel at walking the floor, coaching leaders, and turning good plants into great ones, this role puts you on the front line of change.

    What You Will Do

    • Direct day-to-day operations for approximately 100 employees per site, meeting safety, quality, delivery, and cost objectives.
    • Mentor five front-line Production Supervisors, setting clear expectations and building a high-accountability culture.
    • Monitor and act on metrics such as OEE, scrap, on-time delivery, and labor efficiency, using data to drive continuous improvement.
    • Champion Lean/Six Sigma tools, leading kaizen events that increase throughput and reduce waste.
    • Partner with Quality, Engineering, HR, Finance, and Customer teams to support new product launches and compliance initiatives.
    • Serve as cultural steward, fostering a positive, solution-oriented environment during ongoing post-acquisition integration.
    • Ensure adherence to ISO, EHS, and other regulatory standards while strengthening safety programs.

    What You Bring

    • 8–15+ years of progressive manufacturing leadership, including supervision of front-line leaders.
    • Proven success turning around or elevating plant morale while delivering strong business results.
    • Experience within regulated or ISO-certified operations; plastics, medical device, or high-mix assembly background a plus.
    • Working knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, and operational excellence methodologies (certification preferred).
    • Bachelor's degree in engineering, Operations Management, or related field (advanced degree welcomed but not required).
    • Visible, approachable leadership style with exceptional communication and coaching skills.

    Compensation & Benefits

    • Competitive base salary targeted between $150K – $185K.
    • 15 % annual performance bonus.
    • Relocation assistance (if applicable) and a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, and generous PTO.

    Why Apply

    • Influence two well-equipped plants that are ready for their next cultural breakthrough.
    • Join a company with significant growth investment and a robust pipeline of future projects.
    • Enjoy direct access to executive leadership and the ability to shape enterprise-wide best practices.
    • Thrive in an environment that values results and people—success is measured by both metrics and morale.
