Production Manager

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting: It includes company description, location, overview, day-to-day responsibilities, required qualifications, preferred qualifications, what we offer, pay range, etc. We need to decide sections: Possibly "About the role" (overview), "Responsibilities" (day-to-day), "Requirements" (required qualifications), "Qualifications" maybe combine required and preferred? But they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include sections that have content. We have location info: On-site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not listed but we could embed in About the role. We have "What We Offer" which maps to Benefits. We have Pay: salary range. Schedule: Not explicitly given besides flexible schedules and paid time off. There's mention of flexible schedules and paid time off (as applicable for leadership roles). That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Skills: Could be derived from required qualifications? Might be separate but we can include Skills if we have content. The posting mentions required qualifications: degree, experience, etc. Could be under Requirements. Skills maybe not separate. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove those paragraphs. We need to preserve all substantive info: company description maybe not needed? It's part of About the role? The posting includes a lot of company intro. Might be considered "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could include position overview and maybe company description. We'll include a paragraph summarizing the role and maybe company context. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for headings,

• for lists,

  for prose. We need to decide what to list as

  • . For responsibilities we have many bullet-like sentences. We can turn each sentence into
  • . For required qualifications we can list each bullet. For preferred qualifications similarly. For benefits we can list each bullet. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can rephrase? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Means we should not omit details, but we can rephrase? Probably we should keep the exact sentences but can format as list items. It's okay to keep the same wording. We need to remove duplicated lines. There's some duplication: Pay section appears twice (the line "Pay: $131,480 - $207,000" and then a paragraph explaining). We'll combine. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we must cut out the EEO paragraphs, the "As a federal government contractor..." etc. Also the "Selected applicants are required to successfully complete a pre-employment check and drug screening." That's maybe substantive? It's a requirement? Might be considered boilerplate but it's a condition of employment. Might be considered part of Requirements? It's a condition: must be US citizen, obtain clearance, pre-employment check, drug screening. Those are substantive. We'll keep them under Requirements. We also need to remove the "Job Segment:" line at end. Now craft HTML. Structure:

    About the role

    ... include position overview and maybe company description? We'll include a concise paragraph that captures the role: Production Manager leading high-volume CNC machining, parts cleaning, assembly operations in greenfield startup facility targeting 50,000 precision machines per year, reporting to CEO/COO, building production system, etc. Also location: On-site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. We could also include a brief company description? Might be considered "About the role" but not required. We'll keep it focused on role. Then

    Responsibilities

    • ... each responsibility sentence. We need to extract responsibilities from "Your Day to Day as a Production Manager" paragraph. Let's list them: - Lead facility commissioning including equipment installation, tooling readiness, process qualification, and production verification across CNC machining, cleaning, and assembly operations. - Develop a complete manufacturing ramp plan with milestones, resources, risk mitigation, and execution strategies aligned to launch timelines. - Establish standard operating procedures, work instructions, control plans, and quality systems prior to first production. - Build and operate the 2-shift production schedule and coordinate 3-shift maintenance operations to maximize equipment availability. - Stand up ERP/MES systems and shop-floor data infrastructure to support real-time production visibility. - Own daily, weekly, and monthly manufacturing output performance against the 50,000 units/year plan. - Oversee CNC machining, parts cleaning, and assembly departments to ensure balanced capacity and smooth material flow. - Establish and review KPIs including OEE, throughput, scrap/rework, cycle time, and first-pass yield. - Drive capacity planning, production scheduling, and material coordination with Supply Chain to meet build requirements. - Champion 5S, visual management, standardized work, and a highly disciplined operational culture. - Direct maintenance operations, ensuring PM compliance, uptime performance, MTTR, and MTBF targets are achieved. - Govern preventive maintenance programs and maintenance inventory strategies. - Lead rapid response actions to downtime events with formal root cause and corrective action follow-up. - Maintain in-process inspection protocols, SPC, MSA/Gage R&R, corrective action workflows, and quality checkpoints throughout machining, cleaning, and assembly processes. - Lead Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma improvement efforts, conducting Kaizen events and eliminating operational waste. - Ensure readiness for required certifications (ISO 9001, IATF 16949 or equivalent). - Build the manufacturing workforce including supervisors, technicians, operators, and maintenance staff across all shifts. - Implement onboarding, training, cross-training, and performance management cadences. - Foster a safety-first, high-accountability culture with strong leadership presence on the production floor. - Identify and develop high-potential employees and create succession plans for key roles. - Serve as the ultimate safety authority; ensure compliance with OSHA, BWXT safety standards, LOTO, machine guarding, PPE, and chemical handling protocols. - Lead accident investigations, environmental compliance efforts, and systemic corrective actions. - Own the manufacturing budget including labor, consumables, tooling, MRO, and overhead. - Build annual operating budgets, rolling forecasts, and capital requests in partnership with Finance. - Identify cost-reduction opportunities through process optimization, scrap reduction, and labor efficiency improvements. - Provide manufacturing cost inputs for product costing and business cases. - Represent production on the executive leadership team, communicating performance, risks, and opportunities. - Partner with Engineering on DFM reviews, change management, and NPI readiness. - Collaborate with Supply Chain on material flow, vendor qualification, and supplier quality. - Provide production capacity and lead-time support to Sales and Customer Service. That's many items. Now

      Requirements

      (or Qualifications?). The spec says we can use Requirements and Qualifications headings. We'll use Requirements for required qualifications, and Qualifications for preferred? Or we could combine. Let's do Requirements for required qualifications, Qualifications for preferred qualifications. Required qualifications list: - Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related technical field. - Minimum 12–15 years of progressive manufacturing leadership experience. - Demonstrated success launching a new manufacturing facility or production line from startup through full-rate production. - Hands-on expertise with CNC machining environments — turning, milling, multi-axis machining, tooling, fixturing, and machine capability. - Experience leading parts cleaning operations (aqueous, solvent, ultrasonic) and associated waste-handling requirements. - Background managing high-volume mechanical or electromechanical assembly operations (≥25,000 units/year). - Experience managing preventive/predictive maintenance organizations. - Must be a U.S. citizen and able to obtain and maintain a DOE security clearance. - Must successfully complete a pre-employment check and drug screening. (maybe include) - Must meet federal eligibility requirements for access to classified/sensitive information (background investigation, drug test, previous employment, reference verifications). Actually that's from later paragraph. We'll include as requirement. We'll keep as list items. Preferred qualifications: - Experience in a manufacturing startup or rapid-scaling environment. - Background in aerospace, defense, automotive, medical devices, or advanced industrial machinery. - Experience implementing ERP/MES systems such as SAP, Oracle, Epicor, Plex, or equivalent. - Experience with capital equipment procurement, process validation, and facility layout planning. - Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma Green Belt/Black Belt certification. Now Benefits section: "What We Offer" includes: - Competitive salary and benefits package. - Flexible schedules and paid time off (as applicable for leadership roles). - Professional development, mentorship, and continuing education support. - A collaborative, inclusive workplace that values diverse perspectives. - Opportunities to directly support high-impact national security and nuclear manufacturing missions. - Continuous learning and long-term career advancement opportunities across BWXT. We'll list as
      • . Pay section: Provide the salary range: $131,480 - $207,000 per year. Also note that base salary offered based on local job market factors etc. We'll include that as prose maybe

        . Since we need a Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does. We'll include heading

        Pay

        and then a

        with the details. Schedule section: We have flexible schedules and paid time off. That's schedule info. We'll include heading

        Schedule

        and a

        describing flexible schedules and paid time off (as applicable for leadership roles). Could also mention 2-shift production schedule etc but that's responsibilities. We'll keep schedule as flexible schedules and paid time off. Now ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not included. We must not include any markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Let's craft. Check for any leftover boilerplate: We removed EEO paragraphs, the "As a federal government contractor..." etc. Also removed "Job Segment:" line. Also removed "Follow us on LinkedIn , X , Facebook and Instagram ." etc. Also removed "For more information, visit www.bwxt.com". Also removed "Welcome to BWXT We believe in empowering our employees..." maybe that's generic but could be considered part of About the role? It's more about company culture. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's generic company values. Might be considered substantive? It's about culture. Could keep but maybe it's fluff. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." This is not exactly those categories. It's more about company culture. Might be okay to keep but could be considered boilerplate? It's not legal. I'd keep it as part of About the role maybe. But we already have About the role focusing on role. Could add a sentence about company culture: "We believe in empowering our employees and cultivating a dynamic workplace that fosters growth, collaboration, and technical excellence." That's from the posting. It's substantive about culture. We'll include. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The location "On-site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee" we included in About the role. The "Position Overview" paragraph we incorporated. Now check for any other details: The "As our Production Manager, you will lead high-volume
