This role is essential to maintaining operational excellence, ensuring safety, and driving efficiency throughout daily production.

The Front Line Manager will coordinate work activities, guide day‑to‑day execution, and help optimize performance across shifts.

Key Responsibilities

• Supervise, coach, and support union hourly skilled trades employees across fitting, welding, assembly, and machining operations.

• Oversee manual, robotic, and automatic welding and machining processes, as well as stress-relief operations and lifting/handling procedures.

• Provide leadership and direction during 2nd‑shift operations that establish production plans and prepare work for execution by subsequent shifts.

• Plan, coordinate, and monitor assigned activities across multiple buildings to meet production and quality objectives.

• Manage the complexity and volume of components within assigned fabrication areas, ensuring proper interpretation and communication of requirements and specifications.

• Use computer systems to input and manage data related to maintenance work orders, hourly employee time entries, and production schedules.

• Evaluate existing operations and recommend continuous‑improvement initiatives to increase efficiency, strengthen policies and procedures, and support cost‑effective performance.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in a supervisory role, ideally within a unionized manufacturing or heavy‑industrial environment.

• Strong background in fabrication processes, including fitting, welding, and machining operations.

• Candidates with extensive fabrication/welding/machining experience and some leadership background may also be considered.

• Excellent leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively manage diverse teams and clearly communicate requirements related to complex components.
