Job Description

Overview

We're hiring Production Supervisors for our precision manufacturing plant.

You'll run an entire production shift, building the schedule, setting manpower levels, and directing the floor through your team. This is a planning and people-leadership role, not a machine-operating one.

Your departments produce to global quality standards, and you'll own the ISO and QMS audits that prove it. You'll also take cost out through lean and 6 Sigma programs, working alongside engineering, maintenance, and quality assurance.

This role requires a bachelor's degree and 5+ years of manufacturing experience.

Why Join Us

  • Lead a full shift: Own production, scheduling, and staffing across your departments.
  • Office-based leadership: Plan, schedule, and direct from the office, not the line.
  • Lean and 6 Sigma: Run cost-reduction programs and own departmental audits.

Hiring on 1st and 3rd Shift

  • Monday - Friday

What You'll Oversee

  • Production processes, machinery, and equipment across the entire facility
  • Production planning and scheduling against customer demand
  • SAP for shop orders, scheduling, and production data
  • ISO and QMS departmental audits
  • Lean and 6 Sigma cost-reduction programs

Responsibilities

  • Production Scheduling: Plan and organize schedules to meet customer due dates.
  • Labor Allocation: Set manpower levels to support production demand each shift.
  • Quality Control: Supervise processes so products meet specifications and quality standards.
  • Operator Training: Train and develop trainees, associates, and production workers.
  • EHS Compliance: Enforce safety protocols and EHS standards across your shift.
  • Daily Problem-Solving: Resolve staffing, tooling, and production line arrangement issues.
  • Cross-Department Coordination: Work with engineering, maintenance, and quality assurance.
  • On-Time Delivery: Own lead times and delivery dates for your departments.
