We’re looking for a Head of Production to run day-to-day on the fabrication floor. This person keeps the shop organized, the team aligned, and the work moving — deciding the right way to build things and ensuring the team executes consistently and efficiently.

You’ll own the micro-level tasking and daily triage: assigning work, sorting priorities, coordinating people, and keeping every station productive. You’ll work closely with leadership in a tight two-way communication loop.

This role is hands-on, people-driven, and technical. You should be someone who can lead by example, set the tone on the floor, and jump in on key fabrication work when needed.

Shop Floor Leadership

• Run and maintain the daily shop plan: who is doing what, on which project, and in what order
• Continuously triage tasks and rebalance priorities based on real-time progress
• Ensure clear communication across the team, adjusting on the fly as projects evolve
• Maintain a productive, organized, and safe shop environment

People & Workflow Management

• Lead, coach, and support fabricators with day-to-day guidance
• Ensure each person knows exactly what they should be doing and why
• Identify skill gaps and provide training or pairing to build the team up
• Build and maintain a positive, accountable floor culture

Fabrication Decision-Making

• Translate engineering intent into practical build processes
• Decide layup strategy, bond/trim approach, sequencing, tooling needs, and workflow
• Write clear, simple work instructions where needed
• Step in directly on critical layups, trimming, bonding, or problem-solving work

Quality, Follow-Through & Communication

• Ensure parts meet spec and deadlines through active oversight and follow-up
• Flag issues early and work with leadership/engineering to close gaps
• Communicate floor needs clearly upward — material shortages, tooling concerns, unclear drawings, etc.
• Help refine shop processes, tooling setups, and repeatability over time

• Fabrication experience (fiberglass, carbon, epoxy systems)
• Experience leading or coordinating teams on the shop floor
• Strong ability to break down complex builds into clean, efficient sequences
• Confident in deciding fabrication methods independently
• Clear communicator who thrives in fast-paced, multi-project environments
• Comfortable balancing leadership with hands-on fabrication
• Strong technical drawing interpretation and spatial reasoning
