Job Description

Lead the pace of a continuous metals operation

When the lights glow and the lines hum, you are the anchor. From clock-in at 6:00 PM to the 6:00 AM handoff, you own the overnight production story—coordinating people, equipment, and priorities across 1–2 production lines, two slitter lines, and the downstream flow through packaging, shipping, and receiving. You set the tone for safety, quality, and delivery, keeping the plant moving and the team growing.

Schedule and compensation

• 6:00 PM–6:00 AM on a 2-2-3 rotating schedule (Work 2 days, Off 2 days, Work 3 days, then the schedule flips)
• Every other weekend completely off
• $31–36/hour
• Time-and-a-half after 40 hours worked in a week
• On the standard schedule, those at the top of the range can earn approximately $88,000+ annually before any additional overtime

A night in the role

You arrive with a plan—production schedules aligned, staffing set, priorities clear. As orders run, you balance throughput with quality, adjust for changeovers, and keep customer commitments front and center. You coach operators on best practices, approve timecards, track attendance, complete performance feedback and reviews, and handle corrective actions when needed. When issues arise, you partner closely with Maintenance and Quality to troubleshoot, reduce downtime, and stabilize the process.

What you drive

• Execution across 1–2 production lines, two slitter lines, packaging, shipping, and receiving
• Production schedules, staffing decisions, and smooth shift handoffs to hit goals and deadlines
• Coaching and development of production employees; attendance, payroll approvals, performance reviews, and disciplinary actions

• Tracking of KPIs such as quality, scrap, throughput; action on trends and opportunities
• A safety-first culture—strict adherence to OSHA, LOTO, PPE and proactive safety leadership
• Accurate shift reporting, clear operational updates, and a clean handoff to the next crew
• Continuous improvement via Lean Manufacturing, 5S , and targeted process changes to reduce waste

Who thrives here

Leaders with a hands-on manufacturing background—preferably in coil coating, steel, aluminum, or other continuous-process environments —who are comfortable making real-time decisions, elevating team performance, and improving line results night after night.
