We’re looking for a hands-on Production Supervisor who leads from the floor, not the office. You’ll own day-to-day plant operations — people, machines, schedules, and safety — and partner directly with the Director of Operations to make our plant safer, faster, and more efficient. This is a high-visibility role with real authority and a direct line to leadership, ideal for a leader who wants to build a team and see the results of their work every day.
Responsibilities
- Direct daily manufacturing operations, allocating labor, materials, and workflow to hit production, quality, and on-time delivery targets.
- Drive utilization and uptime across 200+ machines, coordinating preventive maintenance and resolving bottlenecks to improve throughput.
- Execute daily and weekly production schedules aligned to demand forecasts and resource availability, adjusting quickly as priorities shift in a high-mix environment.
- Coach, train, and hold the team accountable; conduct performance reviews; and build a positive, high-performing shop culture.
- Lead plant-level OSHA compliance, safety protocols, and company policies; run pre-shift meetings that set goals and reinforce safety.
- Identify root causes and resolve production, equipment, and staffing issues independently and decisively.
- Track KPIs (output, scrap, uptime, OTD, labor efficiency) and report plant performance to senior leadership.
- Partner with the Director of Operations to implement manufacturing best practices and continuous improvement initiatives.
Qualifications
- 5–7+ years of supervisory or leadership experience in a manufacturing plant, ideally in metals, machining, or a similar high-mix, low-volume environment.
- Proven ability to manage employee relations — coaching, discipline, conflict resolution, and performance management.
- Hands-on knowledge of machine operations, preventive maintenance, and equipment troubleshooting.
- Working knowledge of OSHA regulations and a genuine commitment to workplace safety.
- Strong floor presence with excellent communication and team-development skills.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office; experience with ERP/MRP systems.
- Ability to lift 50–60 lbs and work on a manufacturing floor for extended periods.
