Store Manager (College Store)

Machine Shop Leader 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. 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. 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.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)~ Experience managing budgets: labor, tooling, and overhead~ Ability to lead root cause analysis and drive corrective action, not just report on problems Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Technology, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field 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
