POSITION
SUMMARY
Schoenrock Hydraulic is currently seeking an experienced
production manager (Produktionsleiter, Meister/-in Produktion)
for their metal fabricating operations in Hamburg, Germany. This
is an excellent opportunity for a manufacturing leader who
desires to make a difference in the life of a company and its
employees by transitioning their operations environment into one
that is professionally managed with “world class” processes and
procedures.
This position will have the full support of the managing
director and ownership in order to achieve the objectives of the
position.
THE POSITION
The position will oversee all manufacturing personnel within the
company. Currently this number stands at 15, spread among
various sections such as welding, assembly, electrical,
hydraulics and painting.
The primary operational objectives of the position are as
follows:
• Even out the workload through anticipatory production
planning. Ensure that 100% on time delivery occurs with ample
margins for unexpected errors or surprises.
• Enable management to know the exact costs of each project
through written summaries of each project noting all
production/process costs (i.e. direct/indirect labor) and noting
areas for future improvement.
• Achieve zero percent quality defects through regular
inspections and established process controls.
• Create and maintain a clean shop where resources (i.e.
machinery, stock, tools) are optimally placed in order to reduce
costs.
• Establish and manage a stockroom where incoming quality
standards are present, inventory costs are known and all
employees follow established guidelines for usage.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The new production manager will oversee all production planning
and scheduling within the plant. They will determine the level
of labor (fixed and rental workers), materials and parts needed
to meet necessary delivery times for each project and will
insure that these are in place and ready for utilization at the
correct time.
They will frequently communicate with the technical department
to insure the correct product is being built according to
customer specifications and will respond immediately to any
changes in the scope of supply. They will maintain up to date
build lists and oversee all production document control.
The new production manager will prepare a written report for
each project completed, enabling management to know what the
actual costs were for each door produced, including labor,
materials and parts.
They will oversee all aspects of quality control within the
facility, including incoming quality, quality inspection of
finished assemblies and regulatory testing of the watertight
door systems.
The new production manager will oversee the stockroom in an
orderly and cost efficient manner. They will have established
processes to insure all stock is properly accounted for and
recorded in a manner that easily enables quarterly valuation.
Motivating, empowering and developing a talented workforce will
be of tremendous importance in this position. The right
candidate will have a background in building similar teams
within prior employers.
PERSONALITY AND MANAGEMENT STYLE
The new production manager will be creative and passionate for
identifying new ways to reduce costs throughout the
manufacturing process. They will be progressive and have a
vision for the future, always keeping an eye open for new
machinery, new tools or new production techniques that might
improve the operations of the company.

how to encourage others to put their best work forward.
