Full Job Description
The Material Production Manager owns day-to-day production of Formcrete and associated wall-system inputs at ICON's Austin facility, running the fixed batch plant as it becomes ICON's first Titan Refill station and helping stand up the new Mobile Batch Plant that will bring batching directly to project sites. This role leads a hands-on production team and reports to the Leader of Material Operations.
Working alongside Print, Logistics, Procurement, and Quality teams, this role is accountable for material availability, quality, and inventory accuracy so ICON's construction systems keep printing without interruption, and it builds the standard operating procedures and multi-site production capability that ICON scales as it deploys mobile batch plants across new markets.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Production & Quality
Manage Formcrete production across the fixed batch plant and Mobile Batch Plant, from raw-material receiving and silo conveyance through batching, sampling, bagging, QC validation to specification, labeling, and warehouse organization.
Ensure every batch meets ICON's quality specification before it reaches print crews, and keep supersack inventory accurate and available.
Titan Refill & Site Operations
Establish and maintain SOPs for Titan Refill cadence and traffic, coordinating with Print and Logistics teams to protect product quality and continuous availability.
Maintain clean, efficient site conditions and oversee compliance with safety and QA/QC protocols.
Resource & Team Coordination
Schedule and deploy raw-material inventory, project-demand shipments, and supporting staff to meet project print schedules across sites.
Supervise, coach, and develop the production team, scaling headcount as mobile batch plants deploy.
Process & Data
Refine SOPs for refill loops and waste management and lead continuous-improvement work on throughput and quality.
Own production data reporting, standardizing inputs and dashboards so output, QC, and cost are accurate and reportable.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
Five or more years in production, plant operations, or materials management, preferably in manufacturing, construction, or field operations.
Demonstrated experience managing day-to-day batch plant or material production, including scheduling, inventory control, and output quality.
People-management experience with direct supervision of production or operations staff.
Strong grasp of production fundamentals: material planning, inventory control, sampling, QC validation to specification, and logistics coordination.
Proven ability to develop and enforce SOPs and to lead teams in safety and QA/QC adherence.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and comfort with ERP, inventory, or production-data systems.
Effective communication with both field teams and senior leadership.
Able to work on-site in Austin, TX, five days per week, with early start times and extended or weekend hours during periods of high project demand.
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
Experience with dry-mix batching or spec-critical, tight-tolerance material production.
Experience operating or overseeing batch plant, ready-mix, or concrete or cementitious material production environments.
Experience managing multiple sites, or mobile or field-deployed production assets.
Mechanical aptitude, including diagnosing hydraulic and pneumatic systems and troubleshooting production equipment.
Experience modernizing production data inputs, building dashboards, or automating reporting.
Background in Lean, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement.
Exposure to 3D printing, additive construction, or emerging construction technologies.
