We're growing fast and looking for a hands‑on Production Supervisor to own day‑to‑day performance on the floor. You’ll lead a crew of hourly production employees in the Finish End, Rough End, or other designated areas — driving safe, high‑quality, and predictable throughput while developing the team around you. This role reports to the Plant Manager and works closely with Quality, Engineering, Materials, and Safety. We want someone who leads from the floor, not the office. You hold high standards without being inflexible, coach people up rather than out, and treat problems as puzzles worth solving. You’re organized enough to track the details and decisive enough to act when things go sideways. If you’re energized by building things — teams and modules both — this is the right place. What you’ll do: Lead Daily Production Run daily startup meetings — assign labor by station, review priorities, and adjust staffing based on takt, material availability, and schedule. Monitor progress throughout the shift, catch risks early, and elevate anything that threatens safety, quality, delivery, or cost. Coordinate with Materials, Engineering, Quality, and Maintenance to remove constraints and keep production moving. Drive Safety & Quality Enforce PPE requirements, job hazard controls, and safety rules — take immediate corrective action on unsafe conditions or behaviors. Partner with Quality to identify defects, support root‑cause analysis, implement corrective actions, and prevent repeat nonconformances. Ensure work is completed per specification sheets, blueprints, shop drawings, SOPs, and Rise Modular quality standards. Develop Your Team Set clear expectations for safety, quality, attendance, and housekeeping — hold team members accountable through consistent coaching. Develop team leads and production employees through feedback, skills assessments, cross‑training plans, and support for career growth. Participate in interviewing, hiring recommendations, onboarding, and integration of new team members. Improve the Operation Promote and sustain 5S, lean manufacturing, visual management, standard work, and continuous improvement practices. Monitor labor efficiency, material usage, scrap, and rework trends — recommend and implement improvements that reduce waste. Collaborate on development and revision of SOPs, work instructions, and critical quality points. Communicate shift performance, staffing needs, safety concerns, and improvement opportunities to the Plant Manager. Required Qualifications 5+ years of supervisory experience in manufacturing, modular construction, or residential/commercial construction production. Demonstrated experience leading hourly production teams with direct accountability for safety, quality, schedule, and throughput. Ability to read and interpret blueprints, shop drawings, specifications, and work instructions — and train others to do the same. Strong communication skills: direct feedback, issue documentation, escalation, and clear handoffs across shifts. Familiarity with Lean principles, 5S, root‑cause problem solving, and standard work. Preferred Qualifications Experience in modular manufacturing or volumetric construction specifically. OSHA 10 – Construction certification (or willingness to obtain). Working knowledge of ERP/MRP systems, Microsoft Excel, and production tracking tools. The salary range for this role is $60,000 – $75,000 (Annually). Actual salaries may vary based on several factors, including but not limited to external market data, internal equity, location, and candidate skill set and experience.
