Fabrication Production Supervisor - Swing Shift
About The Position
We are launching a brand-new swing shift in September 2026, and we need a visionary, powerhouse leader to help build it from the ground up. As our Fabrication Production Supervisor, you will be working closely with our Fabrication manager to design its culture, structure, and operational workflow. This is a hands-on, floor-present leadership role reporting directly to the Fabrication Manufacturing Production Manager. The permanent hours for this role are Monday – Friday, 3:00 PM to 11:30 PM.

You will be fully responsible for pioneering our swing shift operations to support Torus’s Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This role requires a technically astute leader with deep roots in a metal manufacturing environment, elite organizational skills to handle the logistics of a new shift launch, and the practical working knowledge required to troubleshoot advanced machinery, guide operators, and ensure maximum precision and throughput.
