Manufacturing Manager - Solar Trailers

The Job We’re looking for a Supervisor to join our client's team in Woodland, CA and help more people access clean, reliable water - without relying on fossil fuels or costly infrastructure. Our client is the fastest-growing product lines, and this role exists because the product deserves its own dedicated champion. If you love bringing order to complexity, take pride in a tight process, and want to be the go-to person for something that really matters, you’ll feel right at home here.

Essential job duties:

• Supervise and direct assemblers in daily production activities, providing hands-on guidance, clear instructions, and consistent support on the floor to keep things humming.
• Build and manage the production schedule, balancing incoming order demand with assembler availability and material readiness to hit our fulfillment targets every time.
• Develop, document, and maintain SOPs for all assembly, quality control, and fulfillment workflows, keeping our build processes tight, repeatable, and continuously improving.
• Serve as the customer service point of contact, triaging product questions, coordinating technical support responses, and making sure every customer gets a real answer fast.
• Coordinate orders, manage delivery timelines and communication of those timelines, and ensure the right product goes out correctly and on time.
• Develop systems for tracking and monitoring inventory levels and proactively communicate parts and material needs to procurement and the Head of Operations, staying ahead of shortages before they become problems.
• Train and mentor assemblers on build processes, product standards, and safety procedures, building a team that takes pride in doing it right the first time.
• Track production and fulfillment metrics, reporting regularly to the Head of Operations, surfacing issues early and coming with solutions, not just status updates.
• Collaborate with sales, customer service, and the broader operations team to anticipate demand, align on priorities, and ensure a seamless handoff at every stage of the order lifecycle.
• Communicate with the sales team as needed to facilitate their successful selling of trailers
• Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work area because a well-run floor reflects the product we’re proud to ship.
• High-five your teammates when another generator bites the dust!

What You Bring You’re excited about work that directly impacts people’s lives and our planet. Whether you’re tech-savvy, customer-obsessed, mechanically inclined - or all three - you bring curiosity, team collaboration, and a strong sense of purpose to the table.

You might be a great fit if you:

• Hold an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Business, Operations, Supply Chain, or a related field or bring 5 years equivalent hands-on experience that’s worth just as much
• Have 2+ years of experience in assembly, manufacturing, production, or warehouse operations and have experience troubleshooting wiring and production. You know how a floor runs and you’re comfortable owning your piece of it
• Have 1+ year of supervisory, team lead, or lead technician experience, or are ready and eager to take that step for the first time
• Have experience writing and developing SOPs and work instructions, you understand that a great process is a gift to everyone on the team
• Are mechanically inclined and able to lift up to 50 lbs and work comfortably in a warehouse environment, this role is on the floor, not just behind a screen
• Are a natural organizer. You thrive on schedules, checklists, and seeing a plan come together, and you keep your cool when the unexpected happens
• Can troubleshoot creatively and think like a customer
• Believe in rural resilience and clean technology
• Want to be part of a team where mission isn’t a buzzword - it’s the reason
