WORK ENVIRONMENT This position operates in a hands-on, heavy manufacturing environment. The role requires substantial time on the production floor and regular interaction with hourly employees in a fast-moving, performance-driven operation. Industrial environment that may be dirty and physically active. Night-shift responsibility with limited immediate senior-leadership presence. Continuous focus on safety, quality, delivery, cost, and employee performance. Frequent employee coaching, performance management, and documentation responsibilities. Multilingual workforce and the need to communicate expectations clearly across language differences. Operating processes that continue to evolve and require practical problem-solving and adaptability. The schedule consists of three 12-hour night shifts per week. The anticipated schedule is most likely Thursday through Saturday, although Monday through Wednesday may apply depending on operational alignment. Some every-other-Sunday coverage may also be required based on business needs. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Required Qualifications and Capabilities Demonstrated ability to take ownership and make sound decisions in a production or operational environment. Strong commitment to workplace safety and the ability to model and enforce established safety requirements. Demonstrated leadership capability, including coaching employees, setting expectations, addressing performance issues, and holding team members accountable. Ability to work the required night-shift schedule and maintain reliable attendance. Comfort working onsite in a heavy manufacturing environment.

Experience in a manufacturing operation where raw materials or components are transformed into finished products. Mechanical aptitude and working knowledge of manufacturing equipment or production processes. Experience working with production KPIs such as throughput, quality, scrap, safety, or similar operating measures. Exposure to Lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, waste reduction, root-cause analysis, or standard work. Computer proficiency sufficient for production reporting and employee documentation. Bilingual English/Spanish capability is strongly preferred and would be particularly valuable in training, coaching, safety communication, and employee engagement. LEADERSHIP APPROACH The role requires a leader who can function as both a teacher and coach while maintaining clear standards and accountability. Effective supervisors in this environment establish expectations, reinforce standards, provide direct coaching, and maintain visibility across the full shift. Technical credibility and occasional hands-on demonstration are valuable; however, the supervisor must remain focused on leading the operation rather than routinely performing operator work. Candidates should demonstrate a constructive, solutions-oriented approach to operating challenges and continuous improvement.
