About the role
Building Products - Metals Are you ready to take on a manufacturing plant, to own its P&L, lead its manufacturing team and oversee sales? We have been retained by a metals manufacturer to find a General Manager to take over a well running plant near Dayton, Ohio. The incumbent is retiring and is leaving a very good situation for his successor. He is also planning to stay on for a few months to help in the transition when his replacement comes aboard. The manager will have full P&L responsibility over operations and sales. This business unit is part of a much larger manufacturer that acquired a five-plant company that was headquartered in Dayton. The former owner has stayed on and is selling for the plant (they serve a 150 mile radius of Dayton).The plant fabricates and manufacturers five product lines. They have invested into the equipment to include a new mobile roll forming technology that rolls out this spring. The current manager has built out an incredible staff in this 40,000 square foot facility that runs a single shift Monday through Friday. Fifteen employees are on site plus a team of Class A and Class B drivers. Compensation is healthy with a strong salary, a bonus plan and excellent benefits. The role reports to a manufacturing executive who is truly one of the best to work for. Our firm has worked with him at two other organizations.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
