ABOUT WEBUILD

WeBuild Global is a national manufacturer and installer of millwork, brand elements, and custom fixtures based in Commerce, Georgia. From under one roof we design, build, and install the brand elements and customer touch points that go into restaurants, retail, and commercial spaces from coast to coast. We are built around speed, quality, and repeatability, and we hire people who work the same way.

 

THE ROLE

We are looking for someone to run our Commerce millwork plant day-to-day. You will own production, inventory management, quality,safety, shipping, and the team of 10 to 15 people who make it all happen. You are the person the shop floor looks at when something goes sideways, and you are the person who fixes it.

This is a hands on role. You walk the floor, you read the drawings, you understand the machines, and you know the difference between a job that is on schedule and a job that just looks like it is.

 

WHAT YOU' LL DO

  • Accurately manage inventory. Maintain par levels of shop items,ensure on-hand quantityfor project specific materials and monitor lead times for special order components.
  • Own plantflow. The way work moves from receiving through CNC, processing, assembly, finishing, and out the dock door is your responsibility. If the layout is not working, you fix it.

  • Coordinate shippingand logistics. Loads, freight, crating, and on-time delivery to job sites across the country are part of your scope.
  • Read and interpret shop drawings and engineering. Catch issues before they hit the floor and push back on engineering when something will not build.
  • Own quality. If it leaves your dock, it is on you.
  • Routinely coordinate with the procurement, design and installation teams on inventory. specialty materials, project priorities, change orders, and ship schedules.
