Own response to nonconforming product on the floor, coordinate containment activities, and support root cause analysis and corrective actions to reduce repeat issues

Monitor process performance, scrap trends, process defects, and workmanship issues, partnering with quality and engineering to improve consistency, yield, and process capability

Engineering Collaboration

Partner with manufacturing, quality, and design engineering on process improvements, equipment needs, tooling changes, and manufacturability feedback

Support product and process trials on the floor, including validation of new methods, updated work instructions, and operator readiness for production changes

Provide operational input for equipment commissioning, maintenance priorities, and layout improvements that enhance safety, flow, and productivity

EHS & Compliance

Maintain a safe work environment by enforcing PPE requirements, safe equipment operation, material handling rules, and compliance with site EHS procedures

Ensure timely reporting and follow-up of safety incidents, near misses, and corrective actions while reinforcing a zero-incident culture

Metrics & Reporting

Track and report key performance indicators including schedule attainment, labor efficiency, scrap, rework, first-pass yield, attendance, and equipment uptime

Communicate daily performance results, staffing concerns, material constraints, and escalation items to leadership and cross-functional partners

Qualifications

Minimum of 3 years of supervisory experience in a manufacturing environment, preferably supporting powder processing, furnace operations, CNC machining, chemical mixing, or related production operations

Preferred

Experience in a manufacturing environment supporting mechanical, thermal, machining, or process-based production operations

Experience with ERP or production tracking systems and the use of production metrics to manage daily performance

Experience supporting new product introductions, process changes, or equipment implementation in a production setting

Prior experience leading teams in a fast-paced manufacturing environment with strong expectations for accountability, training, and continuous improvement

Experience interviewing manufacturing candidates, making hiring decisions, training new employees, and coaching team members to performance expectations
