A regulated precision aerospace manufacturing operation is adding a Director of Manufacturing to lead a specialized facility focused on component repair and aftermarket production.

This is a direct report to the VP of Operations and carries full accountability for the production floor, team performance, and operational strategy.

Leadership here operates with high emotional intelligence and an open-door approach, and they are looking for someone who leads the same way.
