About the Role
ICON builds robotic systems that construct buildings. 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 and helping stand up the new Mobile Batch Plant. This role leads a hands-on production team and reports to the Leader of Material Operations, ensuring material availability, quality, and inventory accuracy for uninterrupted construction system operation.
Responsibilities
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Requirements
- 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.
