Day Shift Supervisor

Storion Energy•Alpharetta, GA

3d•Onsite

About The Position

Storion Energy manufactures long-duration vanadium redox flow battery electrolyte at our Alpharetta, Georgia facility, and is expanding the site to include stack manufacturing. The Day Shift Supervisor leads the day-shift production team — accountable for safe execution of the daily schedule, the quality of what the shift produces, and the development of the operators and technicians who make it. We are looking for a working supervisor — on the floor, running the process, coaching operators, and solving problems as they happen — who wants to grow with the site as we add new products, process', and requirements. This position requires you to be on-site daily in our Alpharetta, GA, facility.

Requirements

High school diploma or GED required.
5+ years in chemical, industrial, or process manufacturing, including 2+ years leading a crew as a supervisor, lead operator, or shift lead.
Hands-on experience handling hazardous or corrosive chemicals with the required PPE and permitting discipline.
Working knowledge of OSHA general industry requirements — lockout/tagout, hazard communication, confined space, and PPE.
Comfortable with batch records, SOPs, and shop-floor data entry; solid basic computer proficiency.
Forklift experience required; current certification or ability to certify on hire.
Able to read P&IDs and work confidently around pumps, tanks, valves, and instrumentation.

Nice To Haves

Associate degree, technical certificate, or military technical training a plus.
Experience at a startup or ramping facility, where procedures are still being written and new lines are being added.
OSHA 30 (General Industry), HAZWOPER training, or current first aid / CPR certification.
Exposure to lean, 5S, or structured continuous-improvement methods.
Familiarity with SCADA or plant data systems for production entry and monitoring.
Experience supervising assembly or discrete manufacturing in addition to process or batch production.
Bilingual English / Spanish.

Responsibilities

Run the daily production schedule: sequence work, assign staffing and equipment, and adjust in real time to keep the shift on plan.
Own throughput, yield, and schedule attainment for the shift. Escalate deviations with a clear picture of cause and impact.
Lead structured shift start-up and handoff — documented every day, covering equipment status, open issues, and in-process material.
Keep production, downtime, and consumption records accurate and entered on shift, not after the fact.
Take on stack assembly as the site expands — help stand up the line and supervise both electrolyte and stack production.
Verify production records are complete, legible, and accurate before material moves. No shortcuts on documentation.
Ensure in-process checks and sampling happen per procedure, at the right point in the process, by qualified operators.
Identify, segregate, and hold nonconforming material; preserve lot traceability at every transfer.
Hold the shift to written SOPs; flag procedures that no longer match reality so they get corrected.
Run the pre-shift safety brief and regular toolbox talks — set the tone in the first ten minutes.
Enforce PPE discipline in acid and vanadium-bearing service — no exceptions for convenience or schedule pressure.
Report and investigate near-misses and incidents on shift. Act as first responder for spills and exposures.
Hold the shift accountable for housekeeping and equipment condition.
Own inventory accuracy for raw materials, consumables, and finished product — cycle counts, transactions recorded on shift, and discrepancies investigated.
Receive inbound materials: verify quantity and documentation against the PO, inspect for damage, and stage or quarantine appropriately.
Prepare and ship outbound orders — pick and stage product, confirm labeling and paperwork, and coordinate carriers.
Ensure hazardous material shipments are packaged, labeled, and documented to DOT requirements.
Flag shortages and reorder points before they interrupt production.
Train, coach, and qualify operators against the training matrix; sign off on qualifications only when the operator can actually do the job unsupervised.
Onboard new hires — pair them well, check in often, and get them productive without cutting corners on safety training.
Own day-to-day timekeeping, attendance, and PTO coverage for the shift.
Give direct, timely feedback. Escalate performance and personnel matters to the Director early, with documentation.
First-line troubleshooting on process issues. Develop a knowledge of when to fix it and when to call for help.
Coordinate with engineering on preventive work and breakdowns.
Participate in root-cause investigations and see corrective actions through on the floor.
Drive shift-level improvements — 5S, standard work, and small changes that make the next shift's job easier.
