Position Description: Lead launch and day-to-day operations of new prefabrication facility (“plant”), designed to support construction projects with offsite-manufactured components. Develop and oversee critical plant's stability and ongoing performance, establish safety protocols, build a high-performing team culture, manage operational systems, and ensure efficient production of high-quality outputs. Essential Duties Key Responsibilities: Lead establishment of prefabrication facility (“plant”) safety culture from day one, model safe work practices and create zero-incident environment. /li> Develop and implement comprehensive safety policies, site-specific training programs, emergency response plans, and risk assessments. /li> Conduct regular audits and take immediate corrective action for unsafe plant conditions to promote compliance with OSHA regulations and internal safety standards. /li> Manage daily operations across fabrication, assembly, logistics, and material handling with emphasis on safety, quality, and throughput. /li> Develop and execute production schedules in alignment with project demand and just-in-time delivery models. /li> Track and report on operational performance metrics (e.g., safety, quality, productivity, cost) and use data to drive continuous improvements. /li> Recruit and onboard plant staff, foster and develop a team of skilled, safety-conscious operators, technicians, and supervisors. /li> Build and sustain high trust and high-performance team culture centered on ownership, respect, and open communication. /li> Provide coaching and mentoring to team for developing skills in continuous improvement, problem-solving, and. embed lean manufacturing principles (e.g., 5S, standardized work, visual management) into daily operations. /li> Design and implement Quality Assurance (QA) processes to validate outputs meet design specifications, tolerances, and code requirements. /li> Lead kaizen events and implement lessons learned to refine and stabilize production processes. /li> Integrate plant operations with project management and supply chain functions, and leverage digital tools (e.g., BIM, ERP/MRP systems, tracking dashboards). /li> Stay informed on trends in construction technology and prefabrication, assessing innovations to enhance operational efficiency and capabilities. /li> Manage operating budgets, labor forecasting, material procurement strategies, and plant capacity modeling. /li> Partner with Finance and planning teams to forecast costs, Return on Investment (ROI), and scale needs as plant matures. /li> Other activities, duties, and responsibilities as assigned.
