About the Opportunity
A leading OCTG manufacturer, is seeking a proven Threading Production Manager to lead our high-volume threading operations and drive operational excellence. This is not a "desk-only" leadership role - we're looking for someone who thrives on the shop floor, can inspire and develop teams, and takes pride in delivering premium-quality threaded products that meet or exceed API 5CT and semi-premium standards.
This is your chance to make a measurable impact at a growing facility, shaping a 25 to 50-person threading department, optimizing production throughput, and ensuring flawless execution on every connection.
What You'll Do

• Lead OCTG threading operations across two lines, with four CNC threaders.
• Manage and mentor 4 direct reports and a team of 25+, expanding to 50 as production ramps.
• Oversee GBCD or semi-premium threads, ensuring top-tier quality and compliance.
• Implement and enforce inspection protocols using gauges, optical comparators, and premium/API thread measurement tools.
• Drive production efficiency in a 20-24/5 operation, transitioning to 24/6, minimizing downtime, and optimizing resource allocation.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with quality and maintenance to troubleshoot issues, improve workflow, and maintain equipment

readiness.

• Promote a safety-first culture, conduct safety meetings, and address hazards immediately.
• Monitor performance metrics, track cycle times, and recommend process improvements to increase throughput and reduce waste.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of OCTG threading leadership experience (drill pipe experience will not be considered).
• Strong hands-on knowledge of semi-premium connections - GBCD preferred.
• Proficiency with CNC threading machines; Puma machine experience a plus.
• Proven ability to manage large teams in 24/6, high-volume manufacturing.
• Strong quality control background with API/premium compliance expertise.
• Professional, decisive, and approachable leadership style - able to coach, motivate, and hold teams accountable.
• Committed to permanent relocation to East Texas (relocation package provided).
