The Production Manager plays a critical role in executing daily operational plans and ensuring safety, quality, and throughput standards are consistently met. This leader is accountable for translating performance insights into action, developing frontline leadership, and maintaining a high-functioning operation through real-time decision-making and resource alignment. Using the Rehrig Accountable Management System (RAMS), the Production Manager drives clarity, consistency, and accountability across shifts.

Just as important as operational results are how we achieve them. This role requires a human-centered approach, ensuring that team members feel respected, supported, and connected to the work.

Lead day-to-day operations across multiple shifts, ensuring labor,

equipment, and process alignment with volume demands.

Facilitate pre-shift and end-of-shift meetings with focus on

performance metrics, communication flow, and corrective actions.

Maintain clear visibility to hourly production trends and

proactively adjust to meeting daily goals and service level commitments.

Monitor and support Supervisors in floor leadership, shift coverage,

and resource deployment.

Performance Management & Problem Solving

Analyze trends in throughput, labor efficiency, and downtime to

identify root causes and implement timely solutions.

Use RAMS tools and visual tier systems to track and communicate

progress, highlight risks, and drive accountability.

Escalate issues with proposed actions or solutions, not just

observations, while maintaining ownership of shift outcomes.

Ensure KPI boards, hourly trackers, and productivity metrics are

accurate, current, and actioned daily.

Human-Centered Leadership

Create a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment where team

members feel heard, valued, and empowered

Build strong relationships with Supervisors and hourly team members,

encouraging continuous feedback and dialogue.

Model Rehrigs leadership values by balancing high expectations with

empathy and fairness.

Support professional development through coaching, recognition, and

career pathing conversations.

Leadership Development & Engagement

Coach and develop Supervisors, ensuring alignment with performance

standards and leadership expectations.

Conduct regular check-ins, provide feedback, and support capability

development across frontline teams.

Reinforce a culture of ownership, urgency, and accountability within

each shift team.

Support onboarding and cross-training efforts to build a flexible

and resilient workforce.

Safety, Quality & Process Compliance

Champion a proactive safety culture, ensuring all team members

follow protocols and report hazards immediately.

Maintain 5S, housekeeping, and audit readiness standards across

assigned work zones.

Collaborate with maintenance and support functions to drive

equipment uptime and process consistency.

Ensure compliance with SOPs and participate in site-wide continuous

improvement initiatives.

Qualifications:

35 years of leadership experience in warehouse, production, or

logistics environments

Strong understanding of daily performance management, labor

planning, and operational KPIs

Ability to interpret and act on trend data in fast-paced

environments

Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and visual tier management systems

Experience with RAMS, Lean, or Six Sigma methodologies preferred

Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus

What Success Looks Like:

You lead with clarity, urgency, and care, turning insights into action and creating a culture where people and performance thrive. You\'re a visible, consistent presence who builds trust through accountability, setting clear expectations and supporting your team to meet them. You use data and RAMS tools to identify trends early, drive sustainable improvements, and solve problems before they escalate. Success is defined not only by metrics, but by the strength of your team and the trust you earn through how you lead.
