About Torus

Torus is headquartered in Utah and is expanding manufacturing at our 545,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City called GigaOne. We are the world’s first mesh energy infrastructure, uniting communities through resilient, sustainable, and intelligent power. We design, engineer, manufacture, install, and support our systems end-to-end, standing behind them throughout their lifecycle. Torus systems help reduce costs, lower emissions, and protect facilities from outages, while strengthening the security and reliability of the broader utility grid. Torus is committed to American manufacturing, engineering excellence, and building energy systems that last.

Torus has raised over $267 million from investors like Magnetar, Mercado, ICONIQ and Origin Ventures. The investments are helping to accelerate deployment of modular power plants across utilities, data centers, and industrial sectors. This investor confidence reflects the strength of our team, technology as well as the scale of the problem we are solving. 

At Torus, you will be part of something larger than a single product or technology. Your work will help build energy infrastructure that supports and strengthens our electrical grid, critical  systems, industry, and communities for decades to come. We value accountability, collaboration, and clear thinking. We are looking for people who want to solve hard problems and build things that matter.

About the Role

As the Transformer Fabrication Supervisor, you will lead the setup, launch, and daily shop-floor execution of our new transformer manufacturing division at our GigaOne facility in Salt Lake City. Reporting to the Fabrication Manager, you will directly manage three critical production sub-lines: Laminations Manufacturing, Coil Manufacturing, and Core and Tank Assembly. In this role, you will bridge design engineering and high-volume output—mentoring a team of manufacturing technicians, optimizing core-and-coil assembly workflows, and driving strict adherence to quality and safety standards. You will work very closely with Engineering to setup and validate this process. Your leadership will directly enable Torus to deliver high-reliability, custom power components for our mesh energy infrastructure and modular power plant deployments.

Who You Are

• An Accountable Leader: You take pride in shop-floor ownership, leading from the front to build a culture of safety, quality, continuous improvement, and technical rigor.
• A Pragmatic Problem-Solver: You possess clear thinking and strong diagnostic skills to quickly resolve manufacturing bottlenecks, non-conformances, or equipment downtime.
• A Collaborative Mentor: You enjoy building and cross-training teams, translating complex engineering schematics into clear operational steps, and elevating the capabilities of your technicians.
• Quality-Driven: You maintain zero-compromise standards on electrical insulation tolerances, core clamping precision, and structural fit-ups.

Responsibilities

• Directly supervise shift operations and lead personnel across three dedicated manufacturing lines: Laminations Manufacturing, Coil Manufacturing, and Core & Tank Assembly.
• Manage daily production scheduling, material flow, and labor allocation to meet target production rates while minimizing work-in-progress bottlenecks.
• Provide direct hands-on technical leadership in silicon steel slitting/stacking, layer/disc coil winding, core lacing, structural clamping, and final tank fit-up.
• Interpret engineering drawings, single-line schematics, mechanical assemblies, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) to establish clear manufacturing processes and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Partner with Quality Assurance to perform root-cause analysis on non-conformances, enforce strict electrical/dimensional tolerance standards, and drive yield improvements.
• Oversee shop-floor safety programs, ensuring strict compliance with OSHA regulations, overhead crane/hoist safety, lockout/tagout (LOTO), and PPE requirements.
• Train, onboard, and evaluate Transformer Manufacturing Technicians, building a versatile, cross-trained work staff.
• Utilize ERP systems (NetSuite) to track job traveler routings, inventory consumption, and production metrics (OEE, labor hours).
• Drive 5S, Lean, and Kaizen initiatives across the transformer fabrication area to improve shop-floor safety, ergonomics, and throughput.
• Other duties and projects as assigned.

Required Experience

• 3 to 5+ years of experience supervising operations in transformer manufacturing, heavy electromechanical production, or motor/generator fabrication.
• Demonstrated hands-on expertise in transformer sub-assembly processes, including steel lamination processing, precision magnet wire coil winding, core lacing, or transformer tanking/sealing.
• Proven track record of direct supervisory leadership on a fast-paced manufacturing shop floor.
• Ability to read and interpret complex 2D/3D mechanical drawings, structural weldments, and electrical single-line schematics.
• Strong working knowledge of hand/power tools, torque specs, precision measuring tools (micrometers, calipers), and basic electrical test equipment.
• Familiarity with ERP systems and standard Microsoft Office / digital shop-floor tools.

Preferred Experience

• Associate degree or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Industrial Technology, or equivalent trade school completion/apprenticeship.
• Experience with liquid-filled transformer tanking processes (vacuum drying, oil filling, bushing installation, tap changer setup).
• Overhead crane and rigging safety certification or experience supervising heavy overhead maneuvers.
• Formal training in Lean Manufacturing, 5S, or Six Sigma methodologies.
