About Re:Build Manufacturing

Re:Build Manufacturing is a growing family of industrial and engineering businesses combining enabling technologies, operational superiority, and strategic M&A to build America’s next generation industrial company. At Re:Build we deploy deep expertise in engineering, operations management, and technology to supercharge the performance of our member companies. We leverage deep professional expertise and a candid, principled operating culture to drive differentiated outcomes. Ours is a fast-paced environment where individuals can stretch and be challenged to pursue their fullest potential.

Re:Build was founded to pioneer a profitable model for the revitalization of US manufacturing. We’ve assembled a powerful set of complimentary capabilities and lines of business that enable us to pursue a wide range of end markets. Our acquired businesses are grounded in build-to-print and by-the-hour engineering and design services, and we’re leveraging their combined expertise to migrate to increasingly sophisticated program development and production, as well as the generation of our own products. Our unique set of capabilities lend themselves to highly complex systems and products, and we offer customers a range of services including product and systems design, automation, fabrication, assembly, and large volume contract manufacturing. Our customers span a wide array of industries including aerospace, defense, mobility, healthcare, pharma, biotech, clean tech, chemicals, energy, lifestyle, food production, and industrial equipment.

Who we are looking for

We are seeking a business leader with substantial commercial and operational experience who will own the complete lifecycle of large-scale programs ($10MM-$25MM+ annual revenue). The ideal candidate has proven experience managing complex engineering and manufacturing programs at multiple sites. They build relationships with customers and internal collaborators by showing results. They can influence and coordinate resources across organizational boundaries without direct authority. You should be comfortable making high-stakes decisions with incomplete information, navigating challenging customer situations, and building cohesive teams from diverse company resources.

What you get to do

The Program Delivery Director is responsible for owning and delivering complex, multi-site programmatic work aligned to a strategic customer. This role exists to ensure successful execution of engineering and production programs from concept through scaled manufacturing, managing complete P&L accountability and driving customer satisfaction. This position has full authority to direct dedicated program resources and coordinate across all Re:Build operating sites, and is accountable for program profitability, schedule performance, quality outcomes, and long-term customer relationships that protect and enable Re:Build's programmatic revenue growth.

  • Resource planning and forecasting - Provide accurate forecasts of upcoming resource needs to Re:Build Services Resourcing Group; solidify engineer assignments for programs going under PO
  • Identify and solve problems independently - Look for solutions to barriers preventing program success; make decisions and take action without waiting for direction

  • Manage supply chain development - Oversee development of external supplier relationships, capacity assessment, and contract negotiations in coordination with Supply Chain Leader

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
