Fabrication Supervisor

Night Shift Fabrication Supervisor — Aerospace & DefenseLead the Night. Own the Floor. Own a Piece of What You Build.At GTC, the fabrication department is where raw material becomes precision defense and aerospace hardware — and the Fabrication Supervisor is the leader who makes sure that transformation happens right, every shift, without exception. You'll own quality, productivity, people, and process across the fabrication floor, and you'll do it with the confidence of someone who has been in this environment long enough to know what great looks like.And through our Ownership For All program, the leadership you bring to nights here builds something that's genuinely yours. Every eligible full-time employee receives an ownership stake in GTC. From day one, you're not just joining a team. You're becoming an owner. Your wins aren't just good for the company. They're good for you.What You'll DoYou'll run the fabrication department — setting your team up to win before the shift even starts. That means materials staged, assignments clear, every person understanding their task, their standard time, and the manufacturing methods they'll apply. You'll hold the line on standard operating procedures and frozen processes, ensure all work instructions are followed correctly, and verify that every characteristic is inspected and recorded per the Operator Characteristics Claim Sheet.When discrepancies arise, you won't wait for someone else to own them. You'll conduct root cause investigations alongside quality team members, put corrective actions in place that actually prevent recurrence, and work hand-in-hand with technical services, quality assurance, and NDT to drive non-conformance risk and process variation out of your department for good.On the production side, you'll monitor progress in real time, stay ahead of problems before they disrupt the floor, and actively participate in daily scheduling and coordination meetings. When the schedule demands overtime, you'll call it and coordinate accordingly. And you'll keep a continuous improvement lens on everything — always watching for waste, always initiating action when you see a better way.Your people are your most important responsibility. You'll train every team member in their primary assignment and cross-train where it makes the department stronger. You'll conduct objective performance appraisals on schedule, recognize outstanding performance loudly and in writing, and handle disciplinary matters with the consistency, fairness, and dignity every employee deserves.What You BringFive or more years of supervisory experience in aerospace or defense fabrication is the foundation. You've led teams, built consensus, and earned followers — not just compliance. You communicate clearly in every direction, stay organized when the pressure is highest, and solve problems by building real solutions rather than patching symptoms. A high school diploma is required; a technical or business-related degree is preferred. U.S. citizenship is required.You'll also bring working knowledge of Microsoft Office and electronic time and labor systems, a thorough understanding of fabrication operations and machinery, and the leadership instincts to make good calls quickly when the situation demands it.This role is physically active. You'll be on your feet and moving across the production floor for the duration of your shift — standing, kneeling, bending, reaching, climbing ladders and scaffolding, and lifting up to 50 pounds unassisted and up to 75 pounds with assistance. You'll need adequate vision to inspect detailed components and read blueprints, adequate hearing to communicate and respond to safety alarms in a noisy environment, and the composure to lead effectively when deadlines tighten and the stakes are high.Why GTCAn industry-leading 25% night shift differential on top of a competitive base pay.
