Abbeville CV Production Supervisor - Night Shift

Prysmian is the world leader in the energy and telecom cable systems industry. Each year, the company manufactures thousands of miles of underground and submarine cables and systems for power transmission and distribution, as well as medium low voltage cables for the construction and infrastructure sectors. We also produce a comprehensive range of optical fibers, copper cables and connectivity for voice, video and data transmission for the telecommunication sector.

A CV (Continuous Vulcanization) line is a cable production process where insulation is applied and cured in a continuous, high-speed operation. Because the line runs for extended periods to produce large volumes, any downtime is extremely costly and time-consuming to recover from—making efficiency and quick problem-solving critical to success.

In this role, prior cable experience is not required. However, success in this position requires comfort working in a fast-paced, hands-on manufacturing environment where you are actively involved on the production floor, making real-time decisions, troubleshooting issues, and leading a team to keep operations running smoothly.
