Lead from the Floor. Keep Production Moving.

Openwork is hiring an experienced Production Floor Supervisor for a fast-paced manufacturing operation in Northeast Houston.

• Lead daily 2nd-shift production and assign work based on priorities.
• Supervise, coach, train, and support approximately 8–10 employees.
• Monitor workflow and keep customer orders moving on schedule.

• Assist with moving and handling heavy materials or products when needed.
• Review work orders, drawings, customer paperwork, and job requirements.
• Verify measurements, tolerances, specifications, and finished product quality.
• Identify and resolve production delays, bottlenecks, material issues, and quality concerns.
• Manage attendance, employee expectations, and performance accountability.
• Enforce PPE requirements, safe equipment operation, housekeeping, and OSHA-safe work practices.
• Communicate production progress and concerns to management.
• Coordinate with other departments to support quality and on-time delivery.

What We're Looking For:

• High school diploma or GED required.
• 3+ years of hands-on manufacturing, fabrication, metal shop, job shop, construction, or similar production experience.
• Previous lead or supervisory experience strongly preferred.
• Experience leading employees in a fast-paced production environment.
• Ability to read work orders, drawings, measurements, and job specifications.
• Strong measuring skills using tape measures, micrometers, and calipers.
• Ability to convert decimals to fractions.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing safety, quality, and production practices.
• Ability to manage changing priorities and production deadlines.
• Strong communication, organization, follow-up, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to hold employees accountable while maintaining a fair, respectful, and team-focused environment.
• Trade school, technical certifications, or additional manufacturing training are a plus.

Work Environment & Physical Requirements:

• Fast-paced industrial manufacturing/job shop environment.
• Hands-on work throughout the production floor.
• Must be comfortable occasionally lifting, moving, staging, or handling heavy materials.
• Must be able to remain active and on the production floor throughout the shift.
