The Opportunity

We’re partnering with a well-established precision manufacturer serving the aerospace and medical device industries to add a Supply Chain & Production Control Manager to its leadership team.

This company offers the best of both worlds: the visibility and impact of a specialized manufacturing operation combined with the financial strength, resources, and long-term stability of being backed by a much larger organization.

• Drive production planning to align capacity, material availability, and customer delivery requirements.

• Improve supplier performance around quality, cost, lead times, and on-time delivery.

• Partner with Operations, Engineering, and Quality to identify constraints and keep production moving.

• Improve inventory accuracy, material flow, scheduling discipline, and on-time delivery.

• Utilize ERP/MRP systems and operational data to improve planning and decision-making.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree required.

• 3–4+ years of supply chain management/leadership experience.

• Aerospace OR medical device manufacturing experience required.

• Strong experience with production planning/control, purchasing, materials, inventory, and supplier management.

• Experience within a precision, regulated, or high-mix manufacturing environment.

• Strong leadership, problem-solving, and cross-functional communication skills.

Why This Opportunity?

• $130K–$140K base + bonus.

• Join an established, growing manufacturer serving high-value aerospace and medical customers.

• Backed by a larger organization, providing additional resources, investment, and stability.

• High-visibility leadership position with ownership of Supply Chain + Production Control.

• Opportunity to make real improvements to planning, inventory, supplier performance, and overall operational execution.

• Strong platform for someone looking to make an impact and continue growing their career in operations leadership.

You should be proficient in:

• Bachelor's Degree
• Production Planning & Scheduling
