We place production managers, supervisors, and value-stream leaders who keep lines balanced, shifts staffed, and product going out the door on time and on spec.
The production manager owns the gap between the schedule and what actually ships. It's the most operational of leadership roles — staffing the shifts, balancing the lines, hitting today's number while building the team that hits next quarter's.
Companies often promote their best supervisor and hope. Sometimes it works; often the jump from running a shift to running the floor — planning, cross-functional pressure, labor, continuous improvement — exposes gaps that cost output and people. Hiring deliberately beats hoping.
We screen for operators who deliver under real constraints: how they handle a labor shortage, a demand spike, or a launch, and whether the floor runs better because of them or in spite of them. You get production leaders matched to your environment, from high-volume assembly to low-volume high-mix.
The people who turn a schedule into shipped product. We place production leaders at every level of the floor.
Leaders accountable for output, yield, labor, and on-time delivery across one or more production lines.
Front-line supervisors who run the shift, develop operators, and own safety and quality at the point of work.
Leaders who manage a full value stream end to end — flow, takt, changeovers, and continuous improvement.
Production planners and schedulers who balance demand, capacity, and materials to keep the floor fed.
Managers experienced in discrete assembly, machining, welding, stamping, molding, and fabrication environments.
Production leaders who staff and stabilize new lines, new products, and capacity expansions.
Has delivered output and on-time delivery through labor gaps, demand swings, and launches — not only in steady state.
High-volume vs high-mix, union vs non-union, assembly vs process — we match the manager to your floor.
Builds the front-line bench so performance and safety hold across every shift.
Treats EHS and quality as part of production, not someone else's department.
Drives measurable gains in cycle time, scrap, and changeovers that survive after the kaizen event ends.
Production manager placements generally run $90K–$140K base, with senior and value-stream production leaders reaching $150K+ plus bonus. Volume, complexity, and shift pattern move the number — we benchmark to yours.
We start with a deep conversation to understand your operation, your culture, and exactly what success looks like for this hire.
We work our national network and run a focused, confidential search for candidates who match the role — not just the resume.
We manage the process through offer, acceptance, and onboarding, then follow up to ensure a long-term fit for both sides.
Production managers own output and the floor; plant managers own the whole site, including P&L, maintenance, quality, and admin. We'll scope the role to what you actually need.
Most close in 30–60 days. We give you a realistic timeline at kickoff rather than an optimistic one.
Generally $90K–$140K base, more for senior and value-stream leaders, usually with a bonus. We benchmark to your volume and region.
Yes — staffing and stabilizing new lines or products is a specific capability we screen for directly.
Yes — front-line supervisors through production and value-stream managers are all core to what we do.
Both, depending on how critical and confidential the role is.
Tell us about your lines, your volumes, and your bottlenecks — we'll deliver production leaders who have run the same kind of floor.
