Director of Manufacturing - Specialized

We are seeking a Director of Manufacturing to lead production at our Holland facility, overseeing multiple semi-custom, high-performance boat builds.

This is not a generic operations role. Success in this position requires hands-on expertise in composite boat building and the ability to lead technically skilled teams in a complex manufacturing environment.

Core Responsibilities:

• Lead day-to-day production across multiple builds

• Coordinate schedules, labor, and resources to meet deadlines

• Drive efficiency across hull, deck, modules, and final assembly

• Lead and support shop floor teams to deliver quality, safety, and performance

• Partner with executive and technical leadership to execute builds to standard

Required experience:

• 10+ years in semi-custom boat building or high-performance marine manufacturing

• Deep, hands-on experience with:

• Pre-preg, infusion, wet bagging, and open lamination

• Epoxy, polyester, and vinyl ester resins (Duratek experience preferred)

• Proven ability to lead production teams in a composite manufacturing environment

• Strong production planning and scheduling skills

• Proficiency in Excel and project management tools (e.g., Monday.com)

Why This Role Matters

We build specialized, high-performance boats—not just manage a factory floor. The right candidate will bring the technical credibility and leadership needed to execute complex builds and earn the respect of the shop floor.
