Operating Partner or General Manager

The Business

Perfection Finishers, Inc. is a specialty finishing shop providing
vacuum metalizing
and
electrostatic painting
. We support manufacturers that require consistent cosmetic quality, repeatability, and reliable delivery.

The Opportunity

This is an
owner-minded operating partner
role for someone who wants to
build a business
, not just manage a plant. Compensation designed to
scale materially as sales and profitability grow
. For the right operator, there is an opportunity to earn significant equity that is tied to measurable performance and long-term commitment.

If you want stability-first corporate pay, this is not the right fit.
