Typical busy season (May thru November) 10 hour days + 8 hours on Saturday.7:30pm to 6:00am

We are seeking an experienced Night Shift Production Supervisor to lead a fast-paced, custom fabrication operation. This is a hands-on leadership role in a high-mix, fast-turn job shop where multiple custom projects move through production at the same time. Priorities, specifications and deadlines can change quickly, so we need a leader who can make decisions, adjust resources and keep production moving safely and efficiently.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and work alongside the night-shift production team
• Assign employees and resources based on changing production priorities
• Drive safety, quality, productivity and on-time completion
• Set expectations and hold employees accountable
• Coach and develop team members
• Troubleshoot production, equipment and personnel issues
• Coordinate priorities and shift handoffs with management
• Ensure completed work is accurate and properly staged

What We’re Looking For

• Previous supervisory or crew-leadership experience required (at least 3 to 5 years)
• Manufacturing, fabrication, construction or industrial production experience
• Experience in custom/job-shop or project-driven manufacturing strongly preferred
• Ability to independently manage multiple jobs and changing priorities
• Hands-on leadership style and willingness to work alongside the team
• Strong communication, organization and problem-solving skills
• Ability to consistently work night shift

Experience with rebar, structural steel, miscellaneous metals, construction products, heavy fabrication or other fast-turn custom manufacturing is especially valuable.

This is not an entry-level leadership opportunity. We are looking for an experienced lead who can own the shift, lead from the floor and get production accomplished.
