Production Superintendent

Production SuperintendentKrosswood Doors is hiring a Production Superintendent to run the floor in an assigned production department - the people, the schedule, the standards, and the results. This is a floor leadership job, not a desk job. You spend your day in the department with your team, making the calls in real time and owning what comes off the line. We build doors that people live with for decades, and we care about doing it safely, consistently, and better each quarter. If you are the kind of leader who walks the floor, coaches in the moment, and can point to numbers that improved because you were there, we would like to meet you.Before You Apply: What This Job Is Really LikeYou will be on the floor and on your feet for most of the day. This is not an office role. Our plant is not climate controlled. Summer afternoons on the floor run 90 degrees and above. Order flow varies. The mix changes daily, and you will re-plan and re-sequence work on the fly rather than working from a fixed schedule handed to you. We run lean. There is no staff group to hand problems to - you and your team solve them. The work is physical, fast, and hands-on. The people who do well here like it that way. If that sounds like the environment you want, keep reading. If it does not, we would rather you know now than find out in month three.What You Will DoDaily Production ExecutionLead daily production activities to ensure safety, quality, productivity, and schedule attainment within the assigned departmentDirect and oversee daily activities to keep workflow moving and eliminate downtimeAdjust labor allocation and sequencing as daily demand and order mix changeLead daily production meetings with clear communication on goals, results, and expectationsSafety LeadershipPromote a culture of safety by enforcing safe work practices and company safety standardsIdentify hazards and conduct daily safety observationsEnsure proper PPE use, machine guarding, and safe behavior throughout the departmentQuality ManagementEnsure products meet established quality standards by following SOPs and preventing defectsEnforce in-process quality checks and hold the department accountable for first-pass yieldAddress quality issues promptly and reinforce process disciplinePartner with Quality and Maintenance to reduce rework and prevent equipment-related delaysTeam Leadership and AccountabilityLead, coach, and develop department employees by setting clear expectationsProvide regular feedback and recognize strong performanceAddress performance concerns directly and in a timely mannerBuild a team culture of ownership, respect, and accountabilityStandard Work and SOP ComplianceEnsure all work is performed in accordance with documented Standard Operating Procedures, standard work, and established best practicesHelp develop and update SOPs and work instructions as processes changeContinuous ImprovementActively identify opportunities to improve safety, quality, productivity, and efficiencySupport Lean Manufacturing, 6S, and continuous improvement initiativesFind production bottlenecks and implement changes that eliminate waste and increase throughputConduct daily 6S walks to reinforce process discipline and layout organizationPerformance ManagementMonitor departmental KPIs and maintain accurate production reportingUse daily scorecards and visual management tools to drive accountability and improvementDeliver accurate, real-time updates to the General Manager on production progress and issuesHow We Will Measure SuccessThese are the numbers your department owns, and they are the same metrics your annual bonus is tied to:Safety: daily safety observations completed and no preventable recordable incidentsQuality: first-pass yield, scrap, rework and escapesDelivery: output per hour and on-time order completionCost: Labor UtilizationPeople: retention, cross-training coverage, and performance management to every team memberWhat You BringExperience leading people on a production floor - supervisors, leads, and working foremen ready to step up are encouraged to apply.
