Assistant Plant Manager at Veritas Steel LLC – Eau Claire, Wisconsin

The Reality: We're not looking for another leader who manages from spreadsheets or an office. We need someone who can diagnose problems on the shop floor, teach production managers the right way to run operations, and build sustainable systems that work long after you move up in the organization.

What Winning Looks Like:

• After 12 months, you can point to specific implementations you drove that measurably improved efficiency and KPIs
• Your plant runs proactively instead of reactively - problems get solved before they become crises
• Production managers learn from watching you work, not just from meetings

You Are:

• Competitive and high-energy - you measure yourself against results, not effort
• Detail-oriented by choice - you want to understand the root cause, not just manage symptoms
• Smart with a track record of solving complex problems (we'll ask you to walk us through your biggest wins)
• Aligned with Veritas guiding principles of safety, quality, continue improvement and customer satisfaction
• Methodical in building teams and improving processes - you have principles that guide how you develop people and systems
• Career-focused - you want to advance to Plant Manager or other Sr leadership positions and are willing to relocate to make it happen
• Safety and quality focused - Your outcomes demonstrate Safety and Quality as a way of life not just programs
• Delivery excellence driven - you consistently deliver what is needed on time and better than required
• Results-driven - you're focused and always find ways to win

What You've Done:

• Managed 3 to 8 direct reports with 50+ indirect reports
• Led manufacturing or job-shop operations (industry less important than leadership ability)
• Built sustainable improvements that outlasted your tenure
• Made real-time decisions about workflow and process improvements

Why This Matters: Every bridge we fabricate will be used by thousands of people for decades. Your work directly impacts communities across America. We invest heavily in developing talent - when you're ready for the next level, we want to promote from within.
