About the Opportunity
A specialty piezoceramic manufacturer serving defense, medical, and industrial customers is hiring a Production Manager to own scheduling, planning, and floor execution. This is a high-visibility role in a small, vertically integrated plant — you'll be close to the product, close to leadership, and positioned to shape how the operation runs rather than inherit a rigid system.
