Production Manager

The Organization

Our client is part of a growing group of steel companies operating across the U.S. and Canada. This is more than a Production Manager position at a single fabrication facility, it is an opportunity to join a larger organization with multiple companies, strong executive leadership, and long-term career mobility.

Senior leaders have opportunities to work with other companies throughout the organization, participate in leadership meetings and travel, and build relationships across the broader group. For an accomplished steel professional who has been successful where they are but is ready for a bigger platform, greater influence, and the next step in their career, this is a compelling opportunity.
