Non‑Sterile Liquid Filling & Packaging Line Supervisor

Location: Mount Prospect, IL

Shift: 1st, 7:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Pay: $24–$27 per hour, based on experience

Kelly is seeking a hands-on leader to guide day-to-day production on non-sterile liquid filling and packaging lines. You’ll drive output, set the pace for quality and safety, and help a skilled team execute with precision in a regulated environment.

A day in this role

You arrive before the line starts, confirm the setup, materials, and equipment readiness, and make sure everything is in place for a smooth start. As the line runs, you keep a sharp eye on fill volumes, cap torque, labels, and overall product quality. When it’s time to switch products, you coordinate the changeover, direct cleaning and line clearance, and document each step accurately. Throughout the shift, you assign tasks, coach operators and temporary staff, and troubleshoot minor equipment issues to keep downtime to a minimum. You capture records in real time—production data, equipment logs, and cleaning documentation—and escalate any quality concerns to Quality or Management. You’ll champion continuous improvement to boost efficiency and reduce waste, all while ensuring compliance with cGMP, SOPs, FDA requirements, and workplace safety standards.

Key responsibilities

• Own daily operations for liquid filling and packaging on non-sterile lines.
• Verify pre-run readiness: line setup, materials, and equipment checks.
• Monitor fill accuracy, cap torque, labeling, and finished product quality.
• Plan and execute product changeovers, cleaning, and line clearances.
• Troubleshoot minor mechanical issues to reduce downtime.
• Assign work and provide direction to operators and temporary team members.
• Train new hires on equipment operation, safety, and quality expectations.
• Complete all production, equipment, and cleaning records with accuracy.
• Conduct routine quality checks and notify Quality or Management of issues.
• Contribute to continuous improvement to enhance efficiency and limit waste.
• Ensure adherence to cGMP, SOPs, FDA regulations, and safety requirements.

Qualifications

• High School Diploma or GED required.
• 1–3 years in pharmaceutical, biotech, food manufacturing, or another regulated production setting preferred.
• Strongly preferred: experience with liquid filling, bottling, packaging, capping, or labeling equipment.
• Working knowledge of cGMP, quality standards, and manufacturing documentation.
• Proven leadership, clear communication, and strong organizational skills.
• Basic computer proficiency (Microsoft Word and Excel).
• Able to stand for long periods and lift up to 50 lbs.
• Comfortable with required PPE: safety glasses, gloves, hairnets, and gowns.
• Bilingual Spanish–English candidates are encouraged to apply (not required).
