At EPP, we value craftsmanship, technology, accountability, and—most importantly—our people.

What You'll Do

As our 2nd Shift Production Supervisor, you'll be responsible for keeping production running safely, efficiently, and according to schedule. This is an active leadership role with responsibility for approximately 10–20 production employees.

Your responsibilities will include:

Train, coach, and develop production employees

Address employee concerns and performance issues

Identify opportunities to improve production methods, efficiency, equipment performance, and quality

Coordinate with Maintenance, Quality, Production, Management, and other departments to resolve problems

The ideal candidate is someone who understands injection molding, knows how to troubleshoot problems, can hold a team accountable, and isn't afraid to jump in and help when production needs it.
