Sound familiar?
If this is you, a coach can help
- You're a production supervisor or area manager whose shift hits its numbers, and the path to plant manager still isn't clear.
- Your plant is closing or being consolidated into another site, and you have to decide whether to relocate, find another plant nearby, or change direction.
- You've led Lean and Six Sigma projects for years, and your resume lists belts and tools instead of the scrap, downtime and safety results they produced.
- You want to move from the plant into a corporate operations, quality or engineering role, or into a different industrial sector, and don't know where your experience fits best.

Questions
Manufacturing career coaching FAQ
Will my coach understand manufacturing?
We match on field, level and goal. Our bench includes former corporate and executive recruiters and coaches with backgrounds in engineering, finance and HR. You'll work with a coach who knows how plant and operations leaders are hired and promoted.
My plant is closing. Where do I start?
Start by laying out your options before the shutdown date: a transfer, another manufacturer in the area, a new sector, or a corporate role. Your coach helps you weigh them, rebuild your resume around your results, and start conversations while you still hold the title.
Can I move from the plant into a corporate role?
Yes. Corporate operations, supply chain, quality and EHS teams hire people who have run production. Your coach helps you pick the right target and describe your plant results in the terms a corporate hiring manager uses.
What if my coach isn't the right fit?
Tell us within 48 hours of your first session and we'll re-match you or refund you. That's our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
