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.
• Degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials, or related technical field preferred; strong hands-on experience considered.

Why Accel

• Newest equipment in the industry, a clear transformation mandate, and the § autonomy to build it right — with the tools, data, and support to grow as a leader while you do.

What We Offer

• Highly competitive base pay
• Generous annual bonus potential – average $10,000/year
• Comprehensive Medical, Dental & Vision benefits
• Free Disability & Life Insurance
• AFLAC coverage options
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid Time Off & holiday pay
• Unlimited opportunities for professional growth

Safety Requirements

• Must wear steel-toe safety shoes, safety glasses, and hearing protection.
• Ability to safely handle sharp tools such as cutters, scissors, knives, etc.
• Must be able to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods.
• Role requires pushing, pulling, bending, twisting, and reaching.
