Production Manager (Welding / Fabrication)

Houston | Manufacturing | Growth Opportunity

We’re working with a well-established manufacturer expanding into the Phoenix market! This isn’t a startup, but a 20+ year proven organization bringing real investment and long-term opportunity to Phoenix!

They’re looking for a hands-on Production Manager who leads from the front and knows how to drive performance in a welding/fabrication environment.

What you’ll own:

This isn’t a sit-behind-the-desk role. You’ll be the person making sure production runs on time, on spec, and efficiently.

Lead daily operations across MIG welding lines
Drive output, reduce scrap, and minimize rework
Identify bottlenecks and solve them in real time
Build and lead a team of supervisors, leads, and production staff
Maintain strong safety standards—no shortcuts
Partner with Quality & Engineering to resolve issues quickly
Manage staffing, scheduling, and labor efficiency

What they need from you:

Strong leadership presence on the floor
Experience in high-volume manufacturing or fabrication
Solid understanding of MIG welding and production flow
Ability to read blueprints and connect them to production output
Data-driven mindset—you know your numbers and act on them
Ability to hold teams accountable while building a strong culture

Your background likely includes:

3–7+ years in manufacturing or fabrication
2–4+ years leading teams in a production environment
Hands-on experience with welding operations
Proven track record managing hourly teams and hitting production goals

What makes this role worth a look:

Established company entering a new market
Opportunity to help build and shape the operation early
High visibility with leadership
Real impact on performance and outcomes

The environment: This is a true production floor role—you’ll be on your feet, in the operation, working around heat, noise, and active welding lines. PPE is required and safety is non-negotiable.

If you’re someone who solves problems instead of talking about them and takes pride in running a tight operation, this is worth a conversation.
