    Job Description

    Step into Leadership

    Alliance Laundry Systems runs on integrity, teamwork, and a commitment to doing things right. If you thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and take pride in lifting others up, this role offers a stable platform to lead, grow, and make a visible impact. You’ll guide a crew of 8–12 team members while partnering closely with a Group Leader (Supervisor) to deliver safe, high-quality output every shift.

    A Day in the Life

    You arrive ready to set the tone. You kick off with a focused pre-shift huddle covering safety, quality, HR notes, and production goals. You coach newer operators, make sure everyone has the right PPE, and keep an eye on the hour-by-hour plan. When problems pop up, you lead the first response, escalate systemic issues to your Group Leader, and document what you learn so the next shift starts ahead, not behind. Throughout the day, you track KPIs, audit Standard Work, and spark continuous improvement ideas—because better never stops.

    What You’ll Lead

    • Onboard, train, and mentor new team members; serve as their go-to contact.
    • Run daily pre-shift meetings on safety, quality, HR, and production targets.
    • Champion safety practices and ensure team members have required PPE.
    • Drive continuous improvement; capture and act on team ideas.
    • Escalate production or systemic issues to the Group Leader (Supervisor).
    • Maintain strong communication with leaders and Team Leads across shifts.
    • Update KPIs and area metrics; create, maintain, and audit Team Member Standard Work.
    • Complete Hour by Hour Boards, 5S Audits, Dupont Stop Observations, and work stacks.
    • Coach through conflict to resolution with support from Group and Area Leaders.
    • Utilize SAP to aid in the manufacturing process; perform other duties as required.
