About the role

  • Our volumetric modular buildings are produced in our Andover, MA microfactory, with a growing pipeline across North America and a new microfactory on the way.
  • We're reimagining the future of housing through a smarter and more sustainable system that empowers people to live better.
  • This is not a role for someone who wants to supervise a steady-state line.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with Ops Engineering / training owners to ensure training and certification are completed for tasks performed in the area
  • Lead, coach, and develop team leads and operators; set expectations and drive accountability
  • Implement a lightweight rotation / cross-training plan that grows versatility and reduces burnout
  • Partner with Ops Engineering / CI to identify, prioritize, and execute improvements that move throughput/efficiency metrics
  • Support kaizen events, time studies, and standardization; ensure impact is measured and captured (not just ideas generated)
  • Own the area "scoreboard": targets vs actuals, downtime/constraints, quality escapes, and improvement actions
  • Participate in weekly leads/metrics reviews; report what happened, why, what changed, and what support you need
  • Partner with Factory Orchestration / Sidekick stakeholders to improve dashboards and information displays when current metrics don't drive behavior

Requirements

  • 3-7+ years leading teams in a fast-paced operations environment, with a strong preference for manufacturing / production / fulfillment / industrial operations
  • Proven track record hitting output targets while maintaining safety and quality

Nice to have

  • Experience with Lean / TWI / continuous improvement systems (daily management, standard work, 5S, kaizen)
  • Familiarity with tech-enabled operations (digital work instructions, dashboards, workflow tools)
  • helpful but not required
  • Experienced Area Manager / Supervisor from a high-velocity factory or fulfillment environment who can quickly learn the "product" (homes/modules)
  • Establish baseline area performance (throughput, minutes/SF, quality escapes/rework, safety, schedule reliability) and identify the top 3 constraints
  • Ideal candidate profiles (examples)
  • 30 / 90 / 1 year outcomes
  • Define the area scoreboard (targets vs actuals) and ensure it is visible and used consistently
