• Partnering with Quality to address production concerns and ensure products meet established standards.
• Identifying workflow or process issues and helping implement practical improvements.
• Managing routine employee matters such as timekeeping, scheduling, overtime, and performance feedback.
• Ensuring team members understand and consistently follow production procedures.
• Collaborating with Production, Quality, Maintenance, and other departments to resolve operational issues.
• Maintaining accurate production information using company computer systems.
• Reinforcing safety requirements and ensuring employees follow established procedures and PPE guidelines.

Qualifications include:

• 24 years of relevant manufacturing or production experience.
• Previous supervisory, team-lead, or similar leadership experience required.
• Direct experience in a manufacturing environment strongly preferred.
• Mechanically inclined with the ability to understand equipment and production processes.
• Strong process-oriented mindset and problem-solving skills.

• Basic computer proficiency and ability to learn internal production systems.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills.
• Good judgment and ability to make timely decisions when production issues arise.
• Flexible and adaptable within a changing manufacturing environment.
• Bilingual skills are a plus but not required.
