This is an exceptional career home for a people-focused leader who prioritizes long-term stability and a total compensation package that is virtually unmatched in the region. Our client is a privately held, vertically integrated manufacturer that has operated continuously for decades. They recently completed a $100M facility upgrade at this location and have already announced further expansions, signaling a robust future for their Wisconsin operations.

This specific opening in the Slitting Department is a high-impact leadership role where your ability to build a cohesive, high-performing team is just as important as your operational knowledge. The benefits are truly elite: a fully company-funded pension, up to 7 weeks of vacation, and access to private medical clinics for employees and their families. While the rotating 12-hour schedule requires full commitment, it provides a predictable structure with a built-in block of six consecutive days off every three weeks, allowing for significant personal time.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Leading daily shift operations for 25–30 hourly employees in a unionized slitting and converting environment
  • Administering the union contract and enforcing plant policies while managing employee performance, attendance, and training
  • Driving quality assurance initiatives, including in-process QC and corrective actions in collaboration with the Technical team
  • Coordinating and executing departmental safety programs to promote a zero-incident culture on every shift
  • Overseeing preventive maintenance execution and partnering with the Maintenance team on equipment reliability
  • Managing departmental operating supplies and inventory rotation to control costs and minimize waste
  • Identifying equipment or process improvements to enhance efficiency and production output
  • Supporting departmental goals across safety, quality, productivity, and cost-containment

What We Are Looking For

  • Leadership: 7–10 years of supervisory experience in a manufacturing environment; strong candidates with slightly less experience will be considered
  • Union Relations: Proven experience managing in a unionized facility; experience with contract administration is highly preferred
  • People Focus: Exceptional communication and team-building instincts; this role relies heavily on your ability to motivate and lead a diverse workforce
  • Stability: A rock-solid, stable work history—this client highly values longevity and candidates who have grown within an organization
  • Schedule Commitment: Full ability to work a rotating 12-hour day/night shift schedule including alternating weekends
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree preferred; Associate’s degree or equivalent military/professional experience considered
  • Strong Pluses: Experience in paper, coating, web handling, or converting; background in label or specialty packaging; familiarity with ERP systems (QAD or similar)
