## 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.
