About The Position

This is a working leadership position that combines supervisory responsibilities with active, hands-on production work.

As an integral member of the department’s leadership team, this position is responsible for providing guidance, ensuring operational efficiency, supporting continuous improvement initiatives, and performing additional duties as assigned. This is classified as a safety-sensitive position due to its hands-on nature. The individual in this role will operate various types of equipment, including forklifts or combis, and machinery such as shears, plasma cutters, robotic welders, and tube benders.
