Full Job Description

Green End Supervisor

Department: Sawmill Operations / Green End

Reports To: Sawmill Superintendent / Plant Manager

FLSA Status: Exempt (Supervisor)

Position Summary

The Green End Supervisor is responsible for the safe, efficient, and productive operation of the green end of the sawmill — including the log deck, debarker, headrig/primary breakdown, edger, and trimmer areas — up through the green chain or sorter. This role leads a crew of machine operators and laborers, drives production and quality targets, enforces safety standards, and coordinates with maintenance, the dry kiln/planer mill, and mill leadership to keep material flowing smoothly through the front end of the mill.

Key Responsibilities

Supervise and coordinate daily activities of green end crew members, including log deck operators, headrig/carriage operators, edger and trimmer operators, and green chain/sorter personnel.
Monitor production flow from log yard intake through debarking, primary breakdown, edging, trimming, and sorting to meet daily volume, grade recovery, and quality targets.
Enforce all safety policies, lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures, and PPE requirements; conduct safety talks, near-miss reporting, and incident investigations for the green end.
Monitor lumber grade, target sizes, and recovery rates; work with quality control/graders to reduce mis-cuts, downgrade, and waste.
Identify and troubleshoot equipment slowdowns or stoppages; coordinate promptly with maintenance on repairs and preventive maintenance scheduling.
Train new operators and cross-train crew on green end equipment and safe operating procedures.
Track and report daily production, downtime, scrap/waste, and labor hours to mill management.
Manage crew scheduling, attendance, and performance; provide coaching and corrective action as needed in line with company policy.
Ensure housekeeping and 5S standards are maintained in the green end area.
Participate in continuous improvement efforts to increase throughput, reduce downtime, and improve lumber recovery.
Coordinate log inventory and infeed with the log yard/deck to avoid starving or overloading the line.
Ensure compliance with company policies and applicable safety regulations (e.g., OSHA) in the Green End Work area.

Qualifications

High school diploma or GED required; technical/vocational training in wood products manufacturing a plus.
3+ years of experience in sawmill or wood products manufacturing, including hands-on experience with green end equipment (headrig, edger, trimmer, debarker).
1+ years of supervisory or lead experience preferred.
Working knowledge of lumber grading standards, mill production metrics, and recovery optimization.
Familiarity with mill safety programs, LOTO, and OSHA general industry standards.
Basic computer skills for production reporting and scheduling (e.g., Excel, mill production software).
Strong communication and leadership skills; ability to manage and motivate a production crew.
Ability to troubleshoot mechanical and process issues under time pressure.

Physical Requirements & Working Conditions

Ability to stand, walk, climb stairs/ladders, and move around an industrial mill environment for extended periods.
Ability to lift up to [amount, e.g., 50 lbs] occasionally.
Exposure to noise, dust, sawdust, moving machinery, and varying outdoor/indoor temperatures typical of a sawmill environment.
Required use of PPE, including hearing protection, eye protection, hard hat, and safety footwear.
Availability to work assigned shift, including occasional overtime, weekends, or on-call coverage as production needs require.

What Success Looks Like

Green end production targets (volume, recovery, uptime) are consistently met or exceeded.
Recordable safety incidents in the green end trend toward zero.
Crew turnover and unplanned absenteeism remain low, with a trained, cross-skilled team.
Downtime is minimized through proactive coordination with maintenance.
Excel in Communication
