Factory Project Manager

Make our factory run faster.

Framework First builds homes inside our own factory, then crane delivers them onto our clients' properties. Permits, foundation, finishes, inspections, all done for the client. We have been building quality homes and ADUs for years, with 40+ years of craftsmanship behind us, and we are growing fast.

We are hiring a Factory Project Manager to own everything that happens on our factory floor: every build, every crew, every timeline, from the day a unit starts to the day it rolls out the door for delivery. You report directly to our COO.

This is not a desk job, and it is not a clipboard job. It is a role for someone who lives inside the details of how things actually get built, and who is not afraid to hold a crew accountable when a build falls behind.

• ·Own every active build's timeline on the factory floor in our internal dashboard. You will know the status of every unit, every day, before anyone asks.
• ·Track and manage factory inventory, staging materials for each upcoming project ahead of time so the crew can start exactly where they need to the moment the day begins.
• ·Walk the floor and ask the hard questions: When did this build start? Who is on it? What is the build time? Are we on track? Then document the answers.
• ·Drive crew accountability: track build times by role (carpenters, finishing specialists, utility techs), document slips, address them directly, and follow up.
• ·Run daily coordination with our planning team and our On-Site Project Manager so factory output and field installation stay on track.
• ·Run final quality control on every unit before it ships: inspect it, confirm every detail is up to standard, and sign off that it's ready to go out for delivery.
• ·Be the last one out most days: walk the floor, note any station that isn't clean, confirm every door is locked and the alarm is set, and document anything worth flagging before you leave.

• ·Experience managing production in construction, modular/prefab building, or a similar hands-on build environment.
• ·Organized to a fault and comfortable living in project-management software.
• ·Comfortable holding people accountable: directly, fairly, without drama.
• ·A natural documenter: who did what, when, and how long it took.
• ·Drives urgency without burning people out.

• ·Location: 1610 Moffett Street, Salinas, CA (our factory).
• ·Schedule: Mon–Fri, 7:30 AM–4:00 PM (40 hrs/week).
• ·Compensation: $100K–$110K base + up to ~$50K bonus (paid quarterly). Total potential $150K–$160K.
• ·Benefits: 401(k), paid vacation/holiday/sick, employee discount. Starting October 1, 2026, we are also adding health, dental, and vision coverage.
• ·Reports to the COO.

Submit your resume along with a short note about a production line or build schedule you personally kept on track when it was slipping: what you did, and what it would have cost if you had not.

We read every application. If it looks like a fit, we will email you a link to record a short first-interview video.

You answer a few questions we send you, right from your phone, on your own time. No scheduling and no time off work just to interview.

If that goes well, we will reach out about the next steps.
