What are the responsibilities and job description for the Cabinet Production Director position at Amaya Custom Cabinets?
About Us
We are a top cabinet manufacturer serving the greater San Antonio area. Our custom-built cabinets, closets, mantels, hidden bookcases, and architectural details are crafted for the region’s top builders, remodelers, and homeowners. Known for our unmatched quality and attention to detail, we take pride in being a trusted trade partner on high-end residential projects. Our work is currently featured in the 2025 Dominion Luxury Home Tour.
Job Summary
We are seeking a Production Manager with a strong background in lean manufacturing, cabinet production, and finishing to help lead our shop into its next stage of growth. This is not a role for someone looking to keep things running "as-is" — we need a hands-on leader who is excited to scale throughput, optimize workflows, and elevate operational performance without compromising our high standards of quality.
You will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day cabinet production across departments, with a focus on velocity, capacity, quality control, and team accountability. The right candidate will bring both technical knowledge and a process improvement mindset, with the ability to lead people and implement scalable systems that support a growing volume of work.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and oversee all production departments, including CNC, assembly, finishing, and delivery.
- Monitor and enhance production velocity and throughput, identifying and removing bottlenecks.
- Drive capacity planning, scheduling, and resource allocation based on current and projected workloads.
- Implement and maintain lean manufacturing principles, focusing on waste reduction, flow, and repeatable processes.
- Work closely with design, install, and field teams to align production with job specifications and timelines.
- Ensure quality control standards are upheld at every build stage, with proactive issue identification and resolution.
- Provide training, coaching, and accountability to ensure high-performing, cross-functional teams.
- Track key production metrics and lead weekly reviews to promote transparency and continuous improvement.
- Foster a culture of ownership, efficiency, and craftsmanship across the shop.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience in cabinet or millwork production management, including finishing.
- Deep understanding of lean manufacturing systems, capacity planning, and process improvement.
- Ability to lead teams in a high-mix, custom production environment.
- Familiarity with common shop equipment, finishing systems, and cabinet assembly best practices.
- Strong communication and organizational skills — able to lead from the floor and the meeting table.
- A problem-solver’s mindset, with the ability to prioritize, delegate, and adapt in real time.
- Experience developing KPIs, reporting dashboards, and production workflows.
- A leader who thrives on growth, challenge, and building better systems — not maintaining the status quo.
Why Join Us?
- Work for a company known for high-quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction
- Take ownership of a department with real opportunity to grow and scale
- Join a team that values clarity, accountability, and progress over politics
- Competitive compensation, benefits, and the chance to make a lasting impact
If you're ready to lead a production team toward smarter systems, higher throughput, and next-level execution, we want to hear from you. Qualified candidates only.
