Production Manager

Location : Richmond CA On-Site Full-Time

Industry : Custom Cabinetry & Furniture

Salary : $75000 - $85000 (depending on experience)

About the Company

This is a custom cabinetry and architectural millwork for residential and commercial projects across the Bay Area. Our reputation is built on craftsmanship precision and reliability. We utilize Innergy ERP software to manage estimating scheduling production coordination and job costing giving our team the tools to deliver projects efficiently and accurately from engineering through installation.

About the Role

Were looking for a Production Manager who is equally comfortable in the office and on the shop floor someone who understands the craft earns the respect of the team and keeps work flowing smoothly without being a clipboard only supervisor.

The Production Manager acts as the bridge between engineering / project management and the shop . This role is roughly 75% office / 25% shop using Innergy to coordinate work monitor progress and keep projects on schedule while also being willing and able to step into the shop when needed to help with setups complex one-off builds and problem-solving.

You wont be a traditional foreman barking orders; youll function more like a coordinator and facilitator : setting priorities organizing tasks and workstations helping the leads and their teams stay aligned and making sure the right work is being done at the right time.

What Youll Be Doing

  • Own the day-to-day production schedule in Innergy ensuring jobs are prioritized and sequenced correctly from engineering through final assembly.
  • Move work orders through digital Kanban-style stages (e.g. CNC edge banding bench finishing) so each station sees only the tasks relevant to them.
  • Coordinate between office and shop to keep information accurate and written (not just verbal) minimizing miscommunication and rework.

Shop Support & Hands-On Problem Solving

  • Spend regular time on the floor to check setups review parts and troubleshoot when questions arise.
  • When needed jump in on complex or one-off tasks such as building the first piece creating a jig or refining a process then hand off the repeat work to the team.
  • Think 45 steps ahead in how parts are produced : determine when it makes sense to run something manually vs. investing in a more efficient machine setup.
  • Help optimize shop layout and workflows to reduce unnecessary movement and wasted time.
  • Coordination of Outsourced Components

  • Organize and oversee incoming products from outsourcing partners (e.g. cabinet boxes from other shops).
  • Ensure incoming orders are checked accounted for and staged logically (bins / racks) so they can be found quickly when needed.
  • Use Innergy to maintain clear location tracking (e.g. bin 3 rack 4) and remaining steps required before install.
  • Quality Safety & Continuous Improvement

  • Maintain a no finger-pointing team-oriented culture; focus on solving problems and improving processes rather than assigning blame.
  • Ensure work meets design intent and quality standards by reviewing drawings shop tickets and finished product.
  • Leadership & People Development

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for shop questions so leads and their assistants can stay productive at their stations.
  • Build trust and credibility with a diverse workforce by demonstrating real woodworking knowledge staying calm under pressure and communicating respectfully.
  • As the company grows assist the owner with hiring onboarding and developing additional shop staff to support increased capacity.
  • Qualifications

  • Minimum 5 years in a woodworking cabinetry or architectural millwork environment; 710 years strongly preferred. Woodworking experience is paramount.
  • 2 years of leadership or supervisory experience (Shop Lead or Foreman preferred)
  • Experience with custom / one-off and small-batch work (cabinets paneling and other architectural millwork) rather than only high-volume production.
  • Prior responsibility for coordinating work for multiple people or stations; e.g. Shop Lead Foreman Production Coordinator or similar role.
  • Technical Skills

  • Strong understanding of cabinet construction joinery and typical millwork processes (cutting assembly sanding fitting and finishing).
  • Ability to read and interpret shop drawings production tickets and hardware details.
  • Experience with ERP / production management software (Innergy or similar systems) is a plus; comfort with basic computer tasks (web apps email PDFs basic typing) is required.
  • Familiarity with CNC edge banding and other standard woodworking machinery is beneficial; you dont need to be a full-time operator but you should understand capabilities and constraints.
  • Leadership & Soft Skills

  • Demonstrated ability to earn respect in the shop by knowing the work and when needed rolling up your sleeves.
  • Strong communication skills; able to explain processes clearly and coach others rather than just giving orders.
  • Calm solutions-oriented approach; especially when things go wrong or schedules get tight.
  • Forklift certification or willingness to train
  • Pay & Benefits

  • $75000 - $85000 annual salary (depending on experience)
  • Kaiser medical insurance (employer pays 90% of premium)
  • Holidays
  • PTO : 1 week after first year
  • Key Skills
