Digital-Fabrication Team Lead

BLOX is creating the tools to convert a resistant Architecture Engineering and Construction Industry into a smart and efficient machine. In short, BLOX takes the most complicated parts of a hospital – headwalls, surgery ceilings, MEP racks, Central Energy Plants, exam rooms, bathrooms, etc. - designs them so that they can be removed from conventional construction, manufactures them as modules, transports and inserts them into the construction process to yield higher quality buildings that open significantly faster than those conventionally constructed. BLOX is both service and product that includes architecture, engineering, manufacturing, logistics and construction.

Job Description:

BLOX success is dependent on the development of systems designed to maximize the overall Design Manufacture Construct (DMC) value stream from beginning to end. In order to scale, we need strong motivated, empowered, leaders within each component of design, manufacturing, construction including the support system of supply chain and quality. Those leaders must focus intensely on the creation and management of an integrated DMC system to achieve 2x2x2: Twice the quality with twice the speed at twice the value of the traditional Architectural Engineering Construction (AEC) industry.

Production leaders have the role of ensuring manufacturing is advanced as a visually controlled, continuous flow pull system that is constantly improving. The expectation is that a new leader should first understand the systems currently in place, provide assessment of where the system needs improvement, develop plan for improvement, review plan with the broader group for input and then deploy improvements rapidly. Repeat frequently.

The position is responsible for assisting the Production Supervisors in managing the people, material, methods, and machines necessary to achieve efficient FLOW. It is a challenging and critical function within BLOX, and the candidate will have significant opportunity for growth within the company.
