About GTI Fabrication
GTI Fabrication is a leader in industrial modular manufacturing, serving the energy, defense, and heavy-industrial markets. With advanced facilities in Arizona and New York, GTI designs and builds containerized energy systems, modular enclosures, and structural steel platforms for mission-critical applications worldwide.
As GTI expands production capacity and operational capabilities, we are investing in Lean transformation and process optimization to increase throughput, quality, and efficiency across all business units. We are seeking a Continuous Improvement Program Manager to lead this initiative — a hands-on leader who can drive cultural change, standardization, and measurable performance improvement in a dynamic manufacturing environment.
Position Overview
The Continuous Improvement Program Manager (CIPM) will be responsible for developing, implementing, and sustaining Lean and continuous improvement programs across GTI’s manufacturing and operational functions.
This role will identify inefficiencies, lead Kaizen events, and coach cross-functional teams to achieve measurable improvements in productivity, quality, cost, and delivery performance. The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and process engineering, with proven success implementing structured improvement programs in high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environments like steel fabrication, assembly, or modular production.
Key Responsibilities
Continuous Improvement Leadership
- Lead the design, execution, and sustainment of GTI’s Continuous Improvement (CI) strategy and roadmap.
- Facilitate Kaizen events, value stream mapping sessions, and process improvement workshops across departments.
- Partner with Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Production to identify waste, bottlenecks, and efficiency opportunities.
- Establish visual management systems, standard work, and performance dashboards to monitor progress.
- Train and mentor employees at all levels in Lean principles, problem-solving tools, and process optimization techniques.
