Because our client is a privately held market leader that consistently reinvests massive capital back into plant technology, you will lead a division equipped with highly automated, top‑tier machinery. This isn’t a passive monitoring role. You will manage a dedicated shift of 25–30 hourly operators, serving as the cultural anchor for safety, quality, and processing efficiency. The organization rejects the high‑turnover, high‑stress mindset of standard contract packaging shops, prioritizing absolute professional respect and a collaborative, team‑centric atmosphere. Backed by extensive local facility footprint growth, this position provides bulletproof long‑term job security. What You Will Be Doing Shift Command: Leading daily manufacturing operations for a team of 25–30 unionized hourly employees across the high‑speed slitting and converting lines. Contract Administration: Serving as the front‑line management representative to administer the collective bargaining agreement, enforce plant policies, and manage shift attendance and training matrixes. Quality Assurance Oversight: Driving strict in‑process quality control protocols and leading root‑cause failure investigations in close partnership with the Technical and Quality groups. EHS Leadership: Championing the facility's safety culture by auditing machine guarding, executing departmental safety programs, and maintaining a zero‑incident workflow. Asset Reliability: Coordinating with the Maintenance division to manage automated tool changes, schedule preventive maintenance blocks, and minimize line downtime. Cost Control & Inventory: Overseeing departmental operating supplies, tracking scrap rates, and enforcing strict inventory rotation to minimize manufacturing waste. What We Are Looking For Operations Leadership Pedigree: A minimum of 7 years of verifiable supervisory experience managing high‑speed production lines, preferably in web handling, film coating, paper, or flexible packaging. Labor Relations Competency: A balanced, respectful management style with a proven track record of building positive, productive relationships with union representatives and shop stewards. Schedule Adaptability: Full professional commitment to a rotating 12‑hour day/night schedule, including alternating weekend production blocks. Educational Foundation: Bachelor’s degree is highly preferred; an Associate’s degree or equivalent military/professional technical leadership experience will be fully considered. Technical Pluses: Direct past familiarity with enterprise resource planning software (QAD, SAP, or similar ERP networks) or specialized lean manufacturing training. #J-18808-Ljbffr
