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.
