Production Supervisor
About The Position
The Blanking Line Team Supervisor is a hands-on, hybrid role responsible for overseeing a small production team (under 10 operators) while maintaining equipment efficiency. This position balances daily shift supervision, heavy material handling, and mechanical/electrical troubleshooting. The ideal candidate ensures continuous line flow, minimizes downtime, and serves as the primary technical liaison with our overseas engineering teams. Bridging the Bilingual Communication Gap: Real-time troubleshooting often requires remote system access and direct technical coordination with equipment manufacturers and HQ in Korea. A bilingual professional is essential to minimize technical translation delays.
Requirements
- Minimum 1+ years of industrial maintenance experience in a manufacturing environment.
- Solid foundational knowledge of electrical and mechanical systems; ability to diagnose machinery errors efficiently.
- Ability to operate or willingness to be certified in Overhead Crane and Forklift operations under OSHA standards.

- Proven ability to direct, motivate, and maintain accountability within a compact, fast-paced team environment.
