Production Operations Manager
Photocentric Group is an award-winning global manufacturer with operations in the UK and Avondale, Phoenix. We are pioneers in advanced 3D printing technology, resin development, and one of the world's leading manufacturers of craft stamps.

We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Production Operations Manager to join our small team in Avondale. This is an exciting opportunity for a Production Manager who has excellent administration and communication skills to play a key role in leading the day to day operations of our facility alongside our Technical Production Manager.

You'll coordinate activities across customer service, production support, purchasing, shipping, inventory, and HR administration to ensure the business operates efficiently while delivering outstanding service to our customers. If you're someone who enjoys improving processes, building strong teams, and taking ownership of operations, we'd love to hear from you.


What You'll Do:
  • Lead and develop our packing and shipping team to ensure safe, efficient, and accurate order fulfilment.
  • Ensure staff are following SOPs and training of new starters
  • Purchasing, inventory control, and production support activities to ensure materials are available to meet production demands.
  • Support production planning, scheduling, and workforce planning to meet customer demand.
  • Coordinate HR administration for the US site, working closely with our UK HR team on recruitment, onboarding and employee relations.
  • Maintain business systems, operational documentation, reporting, and performance metrics.
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, reduce waste, and increase operational efficiency.
  • Collaborate with colleagues in both the US and UK to deliver business objectives and support continued growth.
  • Ensure compliance with company procedures, quality standards, and workplace safety requirements.

What You'll Bring:
  • Previous experience as a Production Manager, Operations Manager, Manufacturing Supervisor, or similar leadership role within a manufacturing environment.
  • Knowledge of purchasing, inventory management, and production support processes would be an advantage.
  • Experience supporting HR administration, recruitment, onboarding, or employee relations.
  • Excellent organizational, communication, and customer service skills.
  • Strong computer skills, including advanced Microsoft Excel and experience using ERP/MRP systems (NetSuite experience is highly desirable).
  • Experience with production planning or scheduling systems is an advantage.
  • Knowledge of OSHA regulations and manufacturing safety practices is preferred.
  • A proactive, hands-on leadership style with excellent problem-solving and decision-making abilities.
  • The ability to build positive working relationships across departments and with international colleagues.

Why Join Photocentric as our Production Manager?
At Photocentric, you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact within a growing international manufacturing business. You'll work alongside passionate, supportive teams in both the US and UK, helping shape the future of our operations while developing your own career.

We offer:
  • Competitive salary.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Paid vacation and company holidays.
  • Monday-Friday daytime schedule (no regular weekend work).
  • Modern, clean, air-conditioned manufacturing facility.
  • A collaborative, supportive team environment.
  • Opportunities to contribute to continuous improvement and business growth.
  • The chance to work with innovative technologies in advanced manufacturing and 3D printing.

If you're ready to take ownership of operations, lead a high-performing team, and be part of an innovative global company, we'd love to hear from you.
