Production Supervisor Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• 3+ years in a manufacturing, fabrication, or assembly environment
• Prior supervisory or lead experience — you've owned other people's performance, not just your own
• Ability to read and interpret assembly drawings, work instructions, and BOMs
• Comfort with ERP/MRP systems for production tracking (SAP a plus, not required)
• Strong communication skills — you can have the hard conversation, and you document it
• A track record of managing shifting priorities under pressure without losing sight of quality

Nice To Haves

• Experience in utility, heavy equipment, or electro-mechanical assembly
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing or structured continuous-improvement methods
• SAP experience in a production environment
• Experience leading union employees and working within a CBA
• A track record of developing individual contributors into reliable, accountable team members
• Exposure to both assembly and sub-assembly, and how upstream work affects downstream quality

Responsibilities

• Lead daily operations across A-Line and Sub Assembly, measured on four things: safety, quality, delivery, and efficiency.
• Open each shift with a clear plan, what's being built, what's staged, what has to get solved before it stops production
• Monitor pace against the plan in real time and adjust before problems become misses, not after
• Coordinate material readiness with warehouse and planning before work orders hit the floor
• Escalate parts shortages, quality issues, and engineering discrepancies through the right channels, with the right documentation
• Own the quality of every unit leaving your department before it moves to the Test Field and Final Detail
• Build and document standard work for both departments — if it isn't written down, it isn't a standard
• Bring specific, actionable process improvements to the Operations Manager, and support Manufacturing Engineering on new product builds
• Report daily production status clearly — completed units, open work orders, and risks to tomorrow's plan
• Lead, mentor, and hold accountable a team of assemblers across both departments
• Cross-train your team so the department doesn't depend on any one person
• Address performance issues directly and professionally, partnering with HR when needed
• Run regular one-on-ones and team meetings — not just when something's wrong
• Build a culture where your team brings you problems instead of working around you
• Maintain a safe work environment where OSHA compliance is the floor, not the ceiling, and people raise safety concerns without hesitation
