Machine Shop Leader

Consolidated Machine & Tool

NJ • On-site

$100K - $150K/yr

Full-time

Posted 21 days ago

Key responsibilities

  • Take full ownership of the shop floor, including tracking and improving spindle hour attainment, throughput, and capacity planning.

  • Build and implement a preventive maintenance program to ensure machine health and minimize repairs.

  • Conduct performance reviews, coach supervisors and technicians, and develop operational discipline to improve department performance.

Job description

The Opportunity
Delva Tool and Machine is an AS9100 Rev D certified aerospace and defense CNC machine shop, and we need someone to take full ownership of the shop floor - not manage it from the sidelines. You will drive spindle hour attainment as a core performance metric, build the operational discipline this department needs, and bring the process thinking that turns a good shop into a world-class one.What You Will Own
  • Spindle hour attainment: track it, report on it weekly, and move the number. Within your first 90 days, you will have a visible cadence in place and measurable progress toward the department goal.
  • Shop floor throughput: identify what is killing capacity - setup time, changeover, scheduling logic - and start fixing it. Propose at least one concrete improvement initiative with a real implementation plan before day 90.
  • Capacity planning: own the labor and machine forecast against the production backlog. Know what is coming before it hits the floor.
  • Machine health: build and run a preventive maintenance program that keeps spindles turning instead of waiting on repairs.
  • Department performance: KPIs across on-time delivery, first-pass yield, scrap rate, and safety. Lead root cause and corrective action when the numbers go the wrong way.
  • Team development: conduct performance reviews, coach your supervisors and technicians, and build the kind of floor discipline that does not depend on you being present for every decision.

Required:
  • 8 or more years of CNC machining experience, with at least 3 years in a management or supervisory role
  • Demonstrated ability to own production KPIs: delivery, yield, scrap, utilization
  • Experience leading continuous improvement on a live shop floor (setup reduction, lean practices, process standardization)
  • Comfort partnering with Engineering and Programming on new job launches, tooling strategy, and DFM
  • Experience managing budgets: labor, tooling, and overhead
  • Ability to lead root cause analysis and drive corrective action, not just report on problems

Nice to Have:
  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Technology, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
  • Experience in an AS9100 or NADCAP certified environment
  • Familiarity with 5-axis machining, Swiss lathes, or robotic/automated cell operations
  • Background evaluating and justifying capital equipment acquisitions
  • Experience representing a department in customer visits or quality audits
