Production Manager - Massie Manufacturing - Baraga, Michigan (relocation assistance)

Massie Manufacturing is looking for an experienced Production Manager to lead day-to-day manufacturing operations at our Baraga, Michigan facility. You’ll keep work moving, people aligned, customers supported, and production focused on the things that matter most: quality, on-time delivery, efficiency, and continuous improvement.

Massie has more than 60 years of experience in industrial metal fabrication and machining, with capabilities ranging from one-off prototypes to larger production runs. We’re looking for a practical, hands-on leader who can help us continue building on that foundation. If you know manufacturing, enjoy solving problems, and like being close enough to the operation to actually make things better, this may be perfect for you.

What We Offer.

• $85,000 – $115,000 annually based on experience.
• Discretionary, performance-based bonus.
• Medical, dental, and prescription drug insurance; life insurance.
• 401(k) retirement plan.
• Paid time off.
• Relocation assistance, if needed.

What Your Day Looks Like.

• Lead day-to-day manufacturing operations, including scheduling, estimating, purchasing/supply chain, programming, production, and facilities.
• Plan and prioritize production based on customer needs, capacity, staffing, materials, and deadlines.
• Track job progress, identify bottlenecks, and keep priorities moving.
• Coach and support supervisors and production employees while creating an organized, accountable, and positive work environment.
• Work with estimating/quoting to help ensure accurate pricing, lead times, capacity planning, and profitability.
• Coordinate with suppliers and vendors to keep materials available and costs under control.
• Help ensure products meet customer requirements and established quality standards.
• Identify opportunities for automation, process improvements, added capabilities, and efficiency gains.
• Lead weekly production meetings, communicating clearly with staff, leadership, customers, and suppliers.
• Support continuous improvement, employee training, and quality/audit activities.
• Address performance issues and day-to-day challenges in a practical, respectful, and timely way.

What We’re Looking For.

• 5 or more years of progressive manufacturing or production experience, including significant experience leading production operations and employees.
• A bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Operations Management, Business Administration, or a related field is preferred, but strong manufacturing leadership experience matters most.
• Effective working knowledge of manufacturing processes and how to improve efficiency, quality, cost, and delivery.
• Proven experience leading people and managing competing production priorities.
• Strong scheduling, planning, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Experience working with purchasing, suppliers, estimating, quoting, or job-cost considerations.
• Comfortable using Excel, Word, quoting/purchasing systems, and production planning or job-tracking tools.
• Able to communicate effectively with employees at all levels as well as customers and vendors
• Organized, dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• A hands-on, positive approach—you see a problem and want to help solve it.
