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.
