Job Description

Plating Manager — Electroplating
Run the most advanced, cleanest plating line in the industry — and make it the benchmark.

Accel is transforming how specialty conductors get made, and plating sits at the center of it. We're looking for a technical leader with serious upside — someone who runs an operation by data, develops a team into a high-performing crew, and treats every shift as a chance to raise the bar.

What you'll own

Run daily operations of electroplating lines with discipline and rigor — own safety, clear standards, visual management, and tiered daily accountability that surface problems fast and resolve them at the source.
Drive process control: monitor key parameters to hold quality and reduce variation.
Lead continuous improvement using lean tools — 5S, standard work, kaizen, and root-cause problem solving to cut waste, improve flow, and lift OEE on the line.
Develop people. Build a structured training and qualification path that takes operators from new hire to fully competent, with documented signoffs and a real bench of skills. You set the culture: safe, accountable, and proud of the work.
Manage scheduling and throughput to hit production commitment

What you bring

Technical leadership in plating or a regulated manufacturing process
Real command of process control and manufacturing fundamentals — you think in inputs, variation, and capability.
Lean / CI instinct, or the drive to master it fast.
A track record of raising standards and growing people.
