Description

We are seeking an Operations Manager to oversee daily production activities for a VA Plant. This role is essential in driving operational excellence, strengthening communication, and supporting our workforce. Because a significant portion of our team are Khmer-speaking employees, fluency in Khmer is preferred to ensure strong leadership, connection, and understanding on the production floor.

Requirements

What You’ll Do

  • Lead and support a diverse production team, fostering trust, teamwork, and accountability.
  • Collaborate with Supervisors and Leads to maintain efficient daily operations and on-time production output.
  • Ensure a safe, clean, and positive work environment for all employees.
  • Support training, coaching, and development — helping employees grow their skills and careers.
  • Monitor KPIs (quality, delivery, scrap, efficiency) and drive continuous improvement.
  • Partner with Maintenance, Quality, Engineering, and Supply Chain to keep workflows smooth and productive.
  • Communicate clearly with team members at all levels — especially our Khmer-speaking workforce.

What We’re Looking For

  • Fluency in Khmer to effectively lead, coach, and communicate with a large segment of our team.
  • 3+ years of experience in manufacturing leadership or production supervision.
  • Strong communication skills and a people-first leadership mindset.
  • Ability to troubleshoot issues, solve problems, and keep operations running smoothly.
  • Experience with Lean, 5S, or continuous improvement is a plus (but not required).
  • A team player with a positive attitude and commitment to excellence.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • A supportive, collaborative environment where your leadership truly matters.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and advancement.
  • A culture that values integrity, teamwork, and respect.
  • Competitive pay and benefits package.
  • The chance to make a meaningful impact on both operations and people every single day.
