Machine Shop Supervisor

This isn't assembly-line supervision. You'd be running a machine and fabrication shop where the work changes every day - custom jobs, one-off repairs, industrial problem-solving. No two days look the same. The team is 18 skilled machinists/fabricators/welders/technicians. They know their stuff, and they stick around. What they need is a leader who gets it - someone who can plan the work, support a customer quote, and still roll up sleeves on the floor when a tricky job comes through. An engineering background is a plus. But what matters more is strong problem-solving skills, hands-on experience, mechanical judgment, and the kind of steady leadership that earns trust in a shop. ## ## What makes this worth leaving a comfortable gig 1. Custom, one-off industrial work - not repetitive production runs 2. A stable operation with strong retention (people stay here) 3. Real ownership of how the shop runs, from workflow to process improvements ? Freedom to solve problems your way 4. A path to broader leadership for the right person 5.
