Original job description

Truss Production Manager – High-Impact Manufacturing Leadership Opportunity

Seeking a Truss Production Manager who can step in, take ownership, and drive production performance in a fast-paced structural component manufacturing environment. This is a critical leadership role for someone who thrives on accountability, production flow, and building strong teams while keeping safety and quality at the forefront.

This opportunity is ideal for a hands-on leader who understands truss manufacturing and wants the ability to make immediate operational impact.

Why This Role Stands Out

• High-visibility leadership position with direct influence on production performance

• Opportunity to implement process improvements and drive measurable results

• Strong collaboration with design, sales, and operations leadership

• Long-term growth potential within a stable and expanding organization

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Production Execution

• Lead daily roof and floor truss manufacturing operations to meet aggressive production schedules

• Identify bottlenecks and implement workflow improvements to maximize throughput

• Ensure orders are produced accurately and shipped on time

Team Leadership

• Build, coach, and develop production teams and supervisors

• Set clear expectations around performance, safety, and accountability

• Adjust staffing and production flow based on workload demands

Quality & Safety

• Maintain strict adherence to engineered drawings and quality standards

• Drive a strong safety culture across the production floor

• Lead safety meetings and reinforce best practices daily

Operational Improvement

• Reduce waste and improve labor efficiency through process discipline

• Partner with leadership on production planning and operational strategy

• Support preventative maintenance to keep equipment running efficiently

Materials & Cost Awareness

• Monitor material usage and production costs

• Coordinate with purchasing to maintain proper inventory levels

What We’re Looking For

• Experience leading production in a truss plant or structural component manufacturing environment

• Strong understanding of production scheduling and workflow management

• Proven ability to lead teams in a fast-moving manufacturing setting

• Knowledge of blueprint reading and engineered component production

• Process-driven mindset with a focus on efficiency and accountability

Preferred:

• Experience with MiTek or similar truss software platforms

• Lean manufacturing or continuous improvement exposure

Work Environment

• Manufacturing setting with exposure to noise, moving equipment, and production activity

• Ability to be active on the production floor throughout the day

Resumes can be confidentially submitted to matt.schmidt@gogpac.com
