Manufacturing Manager

• Position: Manufacturing Manager (Plastic Injection Molding)
• Location: Hudson, MA (on-site)
• Schedule: Monday to Friday (based on business needs)
• Compensation: $85,000 - $100,000 (Dependent on Experience)
• Employment Type: Full-Time

Position Overview: We are seeking a highly experienced, hands-on Manufacturing Manager who thrives in a fast-paced injection molding environment. This is not a purely administrative role—you will be deeply embedded in daily operations, working side-by-side with your team to drive performance, solve problems in real time, and ensure production goals are consistently met.

You will take ownership of the floor—optimizing processes, supporting technical execution, and holding teams accountable to the highest standards of quality, efficiency, and delivery.

Essential Functions:

• Lead from the production floor—actively supporting molding operations, troubleshooting, and process optimization
• Optimize personnel, materials, and equipment to consistently meet customer production goals and schedules
• Step in as needed with hands-on technical work (tool setting, processing adjustments, light maintenance)
• Drive performance across key metrics: On-Time Delivery, Quality, Efficiency, and Cost
• Continuously evaluate and improve manufacturing processes to increase yield and reduce cycle times
• Coach, train, and develop team members through direct, hands-on leadership and real-time feedback
• Identify operational gaps and implement practical, results-driven solutions
• Partner with customers to provide updates, resolve issues, and maintain strong relationships

What Sets This Role Apart

• True hands-on leadership—you’ll be on the floor, not removed from it
• Direct impact on production performance and business results
• Opportunity to lead large-scale operations (30+ machines, multiple shifts)

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of hands-on experience in plastic injection molding
• Proven experience managing multiple shifts and large-scale operations (30+ machines)
• Strong technical expertise in processing, tooling, and troubleshooting
• Leadership style rooted in accountability, coaching, and presence on the floor
• Experience with ERP systems (IQMS preferred)
• Track record of meeting or exceeding OTD, quality, and efficiency goals
• Strong communication skills and ability to manage competing priorities

Why Work Here?

• Advanced manufacturing environment with significant operational scale
• A culture that values execution, accountability, and continuous improvement
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package, including:

• PTO, holidays, and vacation
• Health, dental, and vision insurance (multiple plan options)
• FSA and 401(k) with company match
• Company-paid life insurance, AD&D, and short-term disability
• Optional long-term disability coverage
• Employee referral bonuses

If you’re a manufacturing leader who prefers being on the floor, solving problems in real time, and driving measurable results—this is your opportunity to make a significant impact at a company that leads the industry.
