Start the year with a new career where your leadership, technical knowledge, and hands-on experience directly impact production success. A growing, quality-focused metals manufacturing company is seeking a Working Production Supervisor to lead second shift operations and support daily production in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
This role is ideal for a leader who thrives on the shop floor, works side-by-side with production teams, and takes ownership of safety, quality, and results. Reporting to the Senior Production Supervisor, this position plays a key role in maintaining efficiency, compliance, and employee engagement.

Position Overview:
The Working Production Supervisor oversees second shift production while remaining actively involved in daily operations. This hands-on leadership role requires a strong presence on the floor, the ability to operate equipment, and consistent enforcement of safety and quality standards.
Work Environment & Time Allocation:

Production & Operations:
* Supervise and support production functions including:

* Decoil and roll-up processes
* Saw operations
* Packaging and scrap handling
* Step into production roles as needed to maintain workflow
* Coordinate daily production priorities with senior leadership
* Verify completed work meets specifications, measurements, and schedules
Reporting & Documentation:
* Monitor attendance, break compliance, and labor utilization
* Complete daily production reports accurately and on time
* Identify material shortages and document corrective actions
* Perform weekly inventory counts and submit supply requests
Leadership & Workforce Management:
* Adjust manpower assignments based on production demands
* Provide coaching, training, and performance feedback
* Participate in hiring, reviews, and employee development discussions
* Initiate corrective actions in alignment with company policy
Facility & Housekeeping:
