Production Supervisor

Job Description

Job Description

Alconex Specialty Products is seeking a hands-on, results-driven Production Supervisor to lead our manufacturing team. This is a critical role designed for a leader who can balance the "big picture" of production management with the "boots-on-the-ground" reality of a busy plant floor. Your mission is simple but vital: ensure our high-quality products are made on time, every time, while mentoring a top-tier crew and finding ways to make our processes even better.

What You’ll Do

As a Production Supervisor, you will lead a dedicated shift of operators (including Conform and Wrap operators) and floor assistants. Your day-to-day will involve:

• Team Leadership: Directing, training, and mentoring your team. You’ll be instrumental in hiring, performance reviews, and fostering a positive, constructive work culture.
• Production Oversight: Managing machine capacity to 90%+ efficiency, ensuring all jobs meet strict customer specifications and delivery deadlines.
• Quality & Continuous Improvement: Partnering with Quality Engineers to isolate non-conforming products and implementing creative strategies to reduce scrap and production errors.
• Safety & Logistics: Maintaining a safe environment, coordinating maintenance repairs, and overseeing the safe operation of forklifts.
• Data Management: Monitoring labor costs, tracking production rates, and managing shift documentation (payroll hours, accident reports, and scrap logs).

What You Bring to the Table

• Experience: Proven expertise in personnel supervision and manufacturing operations.
• Technical Savvy: Proficiency in Microsoft Office (minimum 1 year) and the ability to read hand micrometers.
• Communication: Strong verbal and written English skills are required to coordinate with management and lead your team effectively.
• Problem-Solving: The ability to stay calm and creative under pressure and resolve production issues as they arise.
• Physical Readiness: Capability to navigate a warehouse environment, including sitting, climbing, bending, and reaching.
• Credentials: A valid Driver’s License and Forklift Certification (or ability to pass Alconex certification). First Aid training is a plus.
