Job Description

Join CECO Environmental and Lead the Shop That Builds a Cleaner Future

Imagine starting your day on a buzzing production floor, greeting a team of welders, machine operators, and filter assembly experts as you line up work on more than twenty active projects. You coordinate with the Scheduler/Planner to lock in ship dates, review the morning’s factory orders and routing, and open the ERP (D365 preferred) to confirm materials are staged and transactions are accurate. By mid-morning, you’re coaching a welder through symbols and drawing interpretations as part of a Welder Workmanship Program you’ve built, and in the afternoon you’re collaborating with Project Managers to keep budgets on track while nudging Product Efficiency, Quality Performance, COPQ, OTD, and EHS&S metrics in the right direction.

That’s a typical day as a Production leader at CECO Environmental’s Peerless Separation & Filtration brand—where our solutions safeguard people, the environment, and industrial equipment across renewable energy, semiconductors, power generation, and water treatment. Since 1966, we’ve tackled the world’s toughest environmental challenges. We’re publicly traded on NASDAQ (ticker: CECO), were named one of Newsweek’s America’s Greatest Companies for 2025, and earned Forbes recognition as one of America’s Most Successful Small Cap Companies for 2026 (our third consecutive year on the list).

What You’ll Lead

• End-to-end supervision of shop-floor personnel throughout manufacturing and assembly.
• Optimal deployment of equipment, materials, and people to achieve maximum output.
• Daily alignment with the Scheduler/Planner to satisfy customer demand and shipping commitments.
• Training, safety stewardship, and oversight of general maintenance for plant and machinery, including performance reviews and assessments.
• Processing and control of all schedule paperwork issued from Planning/Engineering to the floor.
• Ownership of key performance benchmarks: Product Efficiency, Product Quality Performance, COPQ, OTD, and Environmental Health, Safety & Security.
• Hands-on leadership of a diverse workforce—welders, machine operators, and filter assembly—providing course-correcting guidance while sustaining a positive culture.
• Partnership with Project Managers to ensure projects are delivered within budget.
• Accuracy of day-to-day transactions across inventory, factory orders, and routing.
• Development and management of a Welder Workmanship Program; application of weld symbols, processes, and drawing interpretation to train new and seasoned welders.
• Other duties as required.

What You’ll Bring

• 5–10+ years as a Production Supervisor in a welding manufacturing environment (required).
• Demonstrated experience with Production Systems, Lean Manufacturing, and/or Continuous Process Improvement (required).
• Working knowledge of ERP systems for production tracking and materials management; D365 preferred.
• Strong knowledge of welding processes (required).
• Background in production safety, inventory management, and standard manufacturing procedures (required).
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or management (preferred).
• Travel: may involve some travel.
