Location: Bristol, IN
Shift: Initially 1st Shift for Training; Transition to 2nd Shift – 3:15 PM–11:45 PM
Pay: $16.65 per hour + $1.50 per hour 2nd-shift premium after transition

Job Summary

Are you an experienced production employee with strong leadership potential? We're seeking a Production Line Lead to join our team in Bristol, IN. Although this is a leadership position, it is still a hands-on production role. You'll work directly on the production line while helping coordinate workflow, guide assigned employees, and keep daily operations running efficiently.

The selected candidate will initially train on 1st shift to learn production processes, equipment, quality requirements, and leadership responsibilities. Once training is complete and you're ready to transition, you'll move to 2nd shift and receive an additional $1.50 per hour shift premium.

We're willing to train the right person, so previous formal Line Lead experience is not required. Strong production experience, reliability, initiative, and the ability to help guide others are what matter most.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Production Line Lead, your core responsibilities will include:

*Production Support: Work hands-on alongside production employees and fill in at different positions on the line when needed.

*Workflow Coordination: Help direct daily production activities, delegate assignments, and keep employees on task to meet production goals.

*Employee Guidance: Provide direction, support, and on-the-job guidance to associates assigned to your production line.

*Communication: Communicate professionally with production employees, Supervisors, Quality, and Maintenance to address concerns and keep operations running smoothly.

*Quality & Compliance: Learn and help enforce quality checks, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), allergen procedures, and established production requirements.

*Material Reconciliation: Assist with material tracking and reconciliation to ensure production materials are properly accounted for.

*Problem-Solving: Recognize production issues, perform basic troubleshooting, and communicate concerns to the appropriate personnel.

*Production Training: Learn production processes and equipment during the initial 1st-shift training period to prepare for the transition into the Line Lead role.

In addition, you will also be expected to remain flexible, support production needs, and lead by example through your work ethic, communication, and dependability.

• Ability to work hands-on and fill in at different production positions as needed
• Ability to stand for 8+ hours and lift up to 50 pounds
• Coachable attitude and willingness to learn

What We’re Looking For in a Candidate

The ideal candidate is dependable, coachable, confident, and willing to lead by example. We're looking for someone with a solid production background who has demonstrated initiative, good communication, and the ability to help train or guide coworkers.

You do not need to have previously held the formal title of Line Lead. Candidates who have shown leadership potential through their reliability, work ethic, and willingness to take responsibility are encouraged to apply.

This is not a strictly supervisory or office-based position. The successful candidate must be comfortable working directly in production while also helping manage workflow and support the employees assigned to their line.

Work Environment

This is a hands-on manufacturing environment in a GMP-compliant, FDA-regulated facility. The Line Lead is expected to remain actively involved in production while helping coordinate employees, maintain quality standards, and ensure established procedures are followed.

The position requires standing for extended periods, lifting up to 50 pounds, communicating with multiple departments, and balancing production responsibilities with leadership duties.

Strict dress code and hygiene requirements apply:

• Hairnets, beard nets, and face masks must be worn as required by facility policy.
• Jewelry and piercings are not permitted.
• Makeup is not permitted.
• Baggy clothing and pajamas are not permitted.
• Open-toed shoes are not permitted.

Employees must follow all facility hygiene, dress code, GMP, allergen-control, and food/product safety procedures.

Training will initially take place on 1st shift. Once the candidate is fully trained and ready to transition, the regular schedule will be 2nd shift, 3:15 PM–11:45 PM, with the additional $1.50 per hour shift premium.
