Operations Manager
Southwestern Ohio | Precision CNC Manufacturing | Confidential Search
Snyder Executive Search is conducting a confidential search for an Operations Manager in Southwestern Ohio. This is an excellent opportunity for a strong Operations Manager, Manufacturing Manager, or Production Leader who is ready to step into full site leadership.
Our client is a premium, custom manufacturer of precision machined components known throughout its industry as a leader in superior products, craftsmanship, and quality. This is a company where details matter, customers expect excellence, and the manufacturing floor has to perform at a high level every day.
This role will lead the full plant operation, including CNC machining, grinding, powder coating, assembly, quality, maintenance, and shipping/receiving. The successful candidate will be a hands-on manufacturing leader who can drive daily execution, improve plant performance, develop people, and maintain the high standards expected in a premium product environment.
Key Responsibilities
The Operations Manager will be responsible for leading and improving all aspects of plant operations, including:
- Leading daily operations across CNC machining, grinding, powder coating, assembly, quality, maintenance, and shipping/receiving
- Maintaining a safe, organized, compliant facility, including OSHA, environmental, and housekeeping standards
- Executing production schedules to meet customer demand
- Updating and managing the schedule daily
- Ensuring strong utilization of CNC equipment, tooling, fixtures, labor, and plant resources
- Driving continuous improvement initiatives focused on throughput, scrap reduction, downtime reduction, corrective actions, and root cause analysis
- Coordinating new product introductions, custom orders, and special programs with Engineering and Sales
- Building a culture of accountability, craftsmanship, urgency, and ownership
- Ensuring compliance with customer, internal, and regulatory requirements
- Managing staffing, hiring, development, performance evaluations, coaching, and disciplinary action
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree required
- 5+ years of leadership experience in a CNC manufacturing or precision machining environment
- Strong knowledge of CNC machining, tooling, fixtures, workflow, scheduling, and labor utilization
- Exposure to grinding, coatings, and powder coating preferred
- Proven ability to lead, motivate, and develop manufacturing teams
- Strong execution skills with the ability to turn priorities into results on the plant floor
- Organized, detail-oriented, self-directed, and comfortable owning the outcome
- Strong initiative and a hands-on leadership style
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is a chance to step into a visible leadership role with a highly respected manufacturer that competes on quality, precision, customization, and reputation, not commodity volume. The company needs a leader who can tighten execution, improve flow, develop the team, and protect the craftsmanship that has made them an industry leader.
