Job description

Our Mission and Purpose

Our mission is clear: to be North America’s premier packaging solutions provider, simplifying client operations with innovative, technology-driven solutions. We are fueled by the values instilled by Nick Novy, aiming to not just meet but exceed industry benchmarks. Our purpose is to empower our customers with smarter business decisions through our expertise.

Korpack’s Promise: FAST and Beyond

Korpack stands for more than just speed. Our F.A.S.T methodology – Fearless, Adaptable, Simplistic, and Technology-driven – is a testament to our approach toward complex challenges. We’re not afraid to dive deep and tackle the toughest packaging puzzles with agility and clarity, all while harnessing the power of technology.

Culture: The Korpack Difference

In the heart of Korpack, there’s a culture that thrives on agility, innovation, and relentless pursuit of excellence. We’re not your typical packaging company. Our start-up spirit combined with our industry experience makes us uniquely dynamic. We embrace challenges, turning them into opportunities to innovate and grow. Our team, akin to a close-knit family, is dedicated to achieving success for our clients. We believe in building relationships based on trust, integrity, and mutual respect.

About The Role

Korpack is looking for a Production Control Supervisor for nights OR weekends to lead the coordination of our production scheduling, material flow, and work-order execution. This role sits at the intersection of planning and the shop floor — you'll make sure the right materials and priorities reach production on time, while supervising the team that keeps that process running smoothly. If you thrive on solving problems before they become delays and enjoy leading a team in a fast-paced packaging environment, we'd love to talk to you.

• Manage work-in-progress and material availability, resolving shortages or scheduling conflicts as they arise

• Partner closely with Production Supervisors on the floor regarding work orders, material flow, and shift priorities

• Proven ability to lead a small team while managing cross-functional relationships


• Strong problem-solving skills and comfort making fast, sound decisions in a dynamic environment


• Self-directed, organized, and adaptable — someone who takes ownership rather than waiting for direction

Why Korpack

Korpack is a growing provider of tailored packaging solutions, and we value determination, innovation, responsiveness, and teamwork.
