Plant Manager - Net Zero Modular Construction

ABOUT US Reframe Systems is a Physical AI and robotics company on a mission to make high-performance housing attainable and abundant in the communities where people want to live. Through our vertically integrated delivery model and highly automated microfactories, we deliver climate-resilient homes and buildings with greater speed and predictability than traditional construction. Our volumetric modular buildings are produced in our Andover, MA microfactory, with a growing pipeline across North America and a new microfactory on the way. We are building a system that balances repeatability with site-responsive design, enabling homes adaptable to each site, community, and customer need. Our cross-disciplinary team brings together architecture, robotics, design engineering, software, factory operations, and field delivery to change how housing gets delivered. We’re reimagining the future of housing through a smarter and more sustainable system that empowers people to live better. Come build it with us. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR We are looking for a Plant Manager to run the floor of our microfactory and own the daily execution that turns our production plan into finished homes. This is the person the build team looks to every day, the one who holds the line between what the company has committed to and what actually gets built on the floor. We are at a scaling inflection. Over the next year we move from our prototype facility in Andover to a 100,000 square foot factory in Billerica, grow direct labor from around 20 to 80 or more, and step up output from roughly 10 homes in the last year to 40 to 50 in the next, on a path to far higher volume after that. We need an operator who has built and run a production floor through exactly this kind of ramp, and who runs toward a floor that is short a leader rather than away from it. This is a hands-on, on-the-floor role. You own daily production, the people who build, and the operating rhythm that keeps quality, safety, and schedule on track. Your job is to run a floor that performs today and gets more capable every week. You report to the Head of Operations. Until that role is filled, you report to a member of Reframe's executive team. RESPONSIBLITIES PRODUCTION AND FLOOR LEADERSHIP - Own daily production on the floor: hit the weekly build plan, keep modules moving on takt, and clear the constraints that slow the line. - Lead the floor's full production team, including the production managers, area managers, and leads, and be the single point of leadership the team relies on day to day so that no one person on the floor is a single point of failure. - Run the daily management system: morning huddles, tiered check-ins, and visual management the team actually understands and owns. - Hold area and team leads accountable to weekly targets that step down along the efficiency glidepath, and give them the support to hit them. THROUGHPUT, QUALITY, AND SAFETY - Drive throughput toward our targets and improve labor efficiency by working the lowest-performing processes first. - Deliver a quality product. Own the in-process and line checks, catch and correct defects on the floor, and build every module to standard. - Lead safety on the floor day to day. Run safety walks, close out action items, and build a culture where working safely is how the floor operates. - Own schedule reliability and on-time module completion for active projects. PEOPLE AND TEAM DEVELOPMENT - Build the supervision and shift structure the floor needs as the team grows from around 20 to 80 or more. - Recruit, onboard, and develop builders and leads, and grow technicians into leaders the way good operators do, through real scope and candid feedback. - Partner with HR and Recruiting on the high-v
