Production Supervisor

Production Supervisor (Bilingual)

Position balances daily shift supervision, heavy material handling, and mechanical/electrical troubleshooting. The ideal candidate ensures continuous line flow, minimizes downtime, and serves as the primary technical liaison with overseas engineering teams.

Bridging the bilingual communication gap: Real-time troubleshooting often requires remote system access and direct technical coordination with equipment manufacturers and HQ in Korea. A bilingual professional is essential to minimize technical translation delays.

Line Supervision & Personnel Management:

• Lead and manage daily tasks, attendance, and shift assignments for a team of fewer than 10 operators.
• Enforce strict compliance with OSHA safety protocols, particularly regarding heavy steel coil and sheet metal handling.
• Serve as a cross-trained frontline operator to cover labor gaps and maintain production balance when necessary.

Equipment Maintenance & Technical Liaison:

• Perform reactive repairs, preventive maintenance (PM), and electrical/mechanical troubleshooting on the blanking line equipment.
• Conduct root-cause analysis on equipment failures, execute component replacements, and manage shift spare parts inventory.
• Facilitate remote-access technical support, software updates, and system troubleshooting in coordination with equipment manufacturers and HQ in Korea.

Material Handling & Operations:

• Operate (or obtain certification to operate) heavy material handling equipment, including overhead cranes and forklifts, to safely load heavy steel coils and transport finished blanks.
• Monitor and log daily production metrics, downtime records, and material inventory levels.

Qualifications & Requirements:

• Minimum 1+ years of industrial maintenance experience in a manufacturing environment (experience with steel processing, stamping, or blanking lines is highly preferred).
• Solid foundational knowledge of electrical and mechanical systems; ability to diagnose machinery errors efficiently.
• Ability to operate or willingness to be certified in Overhead Crane and Forklift operations under OSHA standards.
• Bilingual fluency in English and Korean is required to handle technical systems and remote communication with engineering teams in Korea.
• Proven ability to direct, motivate, and maintain accountability within a compact, fast-paced team environment.
