Confidential Client of Peskind Executive Search

Peskind Executive Search is conducting a confidential search on behalf of a growing technology organization seeking an experienced Production Manager to lead its U.S. production operation in Tampa, Florida.

This is a hands-on leadership opportunity for an experienced production or manufacturing professional who can take ownership of people, processes, quality, technical production, and day-to-day operational performance within an electronics-focused environment.

The Production Manager will oversee the production workshop and technician team while ensuring work is effectively planned, prioritized, and delivered according to established quality standards, customer requirements, and service-level expectations.

Key Responsibilities:

Production & Operations Leadership

• Lead the day-to-day operation of the production workshop and technical production environment.
• Directly manage, develop, and support the production and technician team.
• Plan, prioritize, and allocate production activities based on customer requirements, business demand, and operational priorities.
• Ensure the operation is appropriately staffed and resourced to meet production requirements.
• Maintain oversight of production schedules, deadlines, quality standards, and service-level expectations.
• Balance operational leadership and planning with hands-on involvement when required.

Technical Production & Problem Solving

• Maintain oversight of technical production issues and support the team in resolving problems.
• Apply technical, product, and engineering knowledge to troubleshoot production challenges and determine when issues require escalation.
• Support an environment involving electronic assemblies, workshop test equipment, production processes, equipment returns, and repairs.
• Partner with Engineering, R&D, Quality, and other internal stakeholders regarding technical issues, testing equipment, product support, and process improvements.

Team Leadership & Development

• Establish clear expectations around performance, quality, productivity, and accountability.
• Identify training and development needs across the production team.
• Coach and support technicians and production employees to improve individual and team performance.
• Foster an organized, accountable, quality-focused, and safety-conscious production environment.

Quality, Compliance & Continuous Improvement

• Ensure production activities comply with established company processes, quality standards, contractual requirements, and applicable ISO requirements.
• Support quality audits, documentation control, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Ensure operational records, documentation, and reporting are accurate and completed on time.
• Maintain strong Health & Safety standards and safe working practices throughout the production environment.
• Identify opportunities to improve production efficiency, processes, quality, and overall operational performance.

Logistics & Operational Coordination

• Oversee goods-in/goods-out processes, equipment returns, booking-in, repairs, and dispatch activities.
• Support international shipping requirements as needed.
• Prepare and present operational reports and management information.
• Participate in operational meetings, performance reviews, and business planning.
• Coordinate effectively across multiple departments to ensure production and customer requirements are met.

What We're Looking For:

The ideal candidate is a hands-on production leader who understands both the technical and operational sides of an electronics or engineering-driven manufacturing environment.

Candidates should bring:

• Proven experience managing people, processes, and operational performance within an electronic engineering, production, or manufacturing environment.
• Strong people-management and team-leadership capabilities.
• Technical knowledge of production and manufacturing processes.
• Experience managing technicians or other technically oriented production employees.
• Experience planning and prioritizing workloads to meet deadlines, quality standards, and business objectives.
• Knowledge of electronic assemblies, workshop test equipment, production processes, and repair environments.
• Experience with quality systems, audits, documentation control, Health & Safety, and continuous improvement.
• Strong organizational, planning, and prioritization skills.
• Ability to analyze operational performance and communicate results to leadership.
• Strong cross-functional communication and stakeholder-management skills.
• A practical, solutions-oriented approach to technical and operational challenges.

Education & Qualifications:

A degree or equivalent qualification in Engineering, Manufacturing, Operations Management, or a related discipline is preferred.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to take meaningful ownership of a U.S.-based technical production operation within a growing organization.

Rather than simply overseeing a traditional production line, the Production Manager will have responsibility across team leadership, production planning, technical problem-solving, electronics repair, quality, logistics, operational reporting, and continuous improvement.

The successful candidate will work closely with Engineering, R&D, Quality, and senior operational leadership while helping establish a highly efficient, scalable, and quality-driven production environment in Tampa.
