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.
  • 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.

Responsibilities

  • 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.
  • Hold area and team leads accountable to weekly targets that step down along the efficiency glidepath, and give them the support to hit them.
  • Drive throughput toward our targets and improve labor efficiency by working the lowest-performing processes first.
  • Deliver a quality product. Own the in-process and line checks, catch and correct defects on the floor, and build every module to standard.
  • Lead safety on the floor day to day. Run safety walks, close out action items, and build a culture where working safely is how the floor operates.
  • Own schedule reliability and on-time module completion for active projects.
  • Run a floor that hits its weekly build plan predictably, with throughput, quality, and labor efficiency trending the right way and a supervision structure that holds under load.
  • Lead the production team through the Billerica launch and ramp to stable output at the new facility.
  • Reduce the floor's reliance on heroics and on any single person, with leads who can run their own areas and a growing bench behind them.
  • Deliver a clear step-change in floor performance (cost per unit down, on-time completion up, escapes down) that supports the company's volume and unit-economics goals.

Requirements

  • 30 / 90 / 1 YEAR OUTCOMES
  • 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.
  • Reframe Systems is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
  • If you believe you have the skills to thrive in this role, we encourage you to apply-even if you don't meet 100% of the listed requirements.

Skills

  • Set clear expectations and a floor culture that takes pride in what it ships.
  • Translate the production plan into staffing, training, and floor readiness on an accelerated timeline.

Compensation

  • $20k-$80k
