- You report to the Head of Operations. Until that role is filled, you report to a member of Reframe's executive team.
- 7+ years in manufacturing operations, including running a production floor through a real ramp or facility launch, with direct labor reporting to you.
- You have built a floor from a low base: stood up work cells, supervision structure, and a daily operating system where they did not exist.
- Strong people leadership, with a track record of growing builders and technicians into leads and holding a team to targets without losing them.
- Comfort with high-mix, project-based production where the bill of materials and the work move with each job.
- A real floor presence. You earn trust by being on the floor and solving problems, not by managing from a distance.
- Strong data orientation and comfort in a technology-forward factory where software is part of how work gets managed.
Nice to have
- Experience taking a production operation from low rate to high volume.
- Construction, modular, or other high-variability production background. Strong manufacturing operators from other industries translate well.
- Familiarity with lean and TWI, and comfort running standard work and continuous improvement on the floor.
- Experience setting requirements for and partnering with an in-house software or MES team.
- You have lived the prototype-to-production transition and know what breaks.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for a Plant Manager to run the floor of our microfactory and own the daily execution that turns our production plan into finished homes. This is the person the build team looks to every day, the one who holds the line between what the company has committed to and what actually gets built on the floor.
We are at a scaling inflection. Over the next year we move from our prototype facility in Andover to a 100,000 square foot factory in Billerica, grow direct labor from around 20 to 80 or more, and step up output from roughly 10 homes in the last year to 40 to 50 in the next, on a path to far higher volume after that. We need an operator who has built and run a production floor through exactly this kind of ramp, and who runs toward a floor that is short a leader rather than away from it.
This is a hands-on, on-the-floor role. You own daily production, the people who build, and the operating rhythm that keeps quality, safety, and schedule on track. Your job is to run a floor that performs today and gets more capable every week.
You report to the Head of Operations. Until that role is filled, you report to a member of Reframe's executive team.
RESPONSIBLITIES
Production and Floor Leadership
- Own daily production on the floor: hit the weekly build plan, keep modules moving on takt, and clear the constraints that slow the line.
- Lead the floor's full production team, including the production managers, area managers, and leads, and be the single point of leadership the team relies on day to day so that no one person on the floor is a single point of failure.
- Run the daily management system: morning huddles, tiered check-ins, and visual management the team actually understands and owns.
