About The Position

Krosswood Doors is hiring a Production Superintendent to run the floor in an assigned production department, responsible for the people, the schedule, the standards, and the results. This is a floor leadership job, not a desk job, where you will spend your day in the department with your team, making real-time decisions and owning the output. The company emphasizes building doors safely, consistently, and with continuous improvement. The role requires being on the floor and on your feet for most of the day in a non-climate-controlled plant environment where order flow and product mix change daily, requiring on-the-fly re-planning and re-sequencing. The company operates lean, with a focus on the team solving problems directly. The work is described as physical, fast, and hands-on.
