Job Description

Value Stream Supervisor, Precision Manufacturing

Picture your morning: you scan the production board, reshuffle staffing to hit a rush order, and walk the floor to open a safe, organized shift. By mid-day, you’re coaching an operator through a new setup, partnering with Quality on a containment, and coordinating with Maintenance to lock in preventative work on a critical press. Before you leave, you review KPIs, recognize wins, and tee up tomorrow’s improvements. If that sounds like your ideal day, you’ll thrive leading the production team at Alinabal.

• Direct daily activities across the line/cell to consistently meet targets for safety, quality, delivery, and output.
• Interpret the schedule and rebalance workflow and staffing to satisfy customer commitments.
• Coach, train, and develop team members; foster cross-training to build flexibility and safety-minded proficiency.
• Hold the line on standards—company safety rules, quality requirements, and documented procedures.
• Track production performance (throughput, downtime, efficiency) and drive corrective actions.
• Troubleshoot equipment, material, tooling, and process issues; escalate and resolve quickly.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Quality, Maintenance, and other functions to remove obstacles and improve flow.
• Champion preventive maintenance to maximize equipment availability.
• Lead Lean/5S initiatives and continuous improvement projects across the area.
• Keep the workplace clean, orderly, and safe.
• Conduct performance reviews and provide regular, actionable feedback.
• Step in on related tasks as needed to support the operation.

• 5+ years in manufacturing with proven supervisory/lead experience.
• Influential leadership with clear communication, organization, and talent development strengths.
• Hands-on knowledge of production machinery and processes; background with press operations is a plus.
• Mechanical savvy with strong problem-solving and troubleshooting ability.
• Ability to interpret drawings/prints, travelers, and work instructions.
• Working knowledge of Lean methods, 5S, and continuous improvement.
• Comfort with manufacturing systems and production tracking (ERP/MRP or similar).
• Skill at juggling multiple priorities in a fast-paced plant environment.
• Bachelor’s degree preferred, or equivalent education and relevant experience.

• Kaizen and structured problem-solving
• Coaching and mentoring front-line teams
• ERP & MRP system navigation
• Aerospace manufacturing exposure
• AS9100 familiarity

• Frequent movement on the production floor: walking, standing, and bending for extended periods.
• Occasional lifting and handling of items up to 50 lbs.
• Regular exposure to plant conditions (noise, heat/cold, dust, moving mechanical parts).
