    Compensation: $75,000 – $85,000 Base + Comprehensive Benefits

    • 3rd Shift: Overnight Schedule

     

    Core Responsibilities


    • Floor Leadership: Lead daily shift execution, balance line staffing, and actively engage alongside the crew (approx. 50% hands-on involvement) to ensure output targets are achieved.

     

    • Team Development: Onboard, train, and mentor operators; cultivate cross-training, set clear performance metrics, and foster open communication.

     

    • Operational Excellence: Oversee process flow, pinpoint operational bottlenecks, monitor equipment reliability, and drive continuous efficiency improvements.

     

    • Safety & Quality Standards: Enforce rigorous OSHA standards, conduct proactive hazard audits, and serve as the frontline quality gatekeeper for all finished goods.
