Shift Supervisor - Continuous Chemical Processing

Location: Batavia, IL (On-site)
Compensation: $85,000 to $105,000 + bonus
Schedule: New 3rd shift, 24/7 operation with weekend rotation

Overview

A large international chemical producer is adding a shift supervisor as its suburban Chicago plant moves from two shifts to three. The process is continuous and heavily automated, with operators running things from a central control room while the supervisor covers the floor across every production area. Expect to spend most of the shift out on the floor, with the rest going to scheduling, reporting, and coordination. Because the shift is brand new, the person who takes it will shape how it runs.

What the Job Involves

• Direct a crew of roughly a dozen operators across several process areas
• Get ahead of reaction issues and process deviations, and make the call when something goes sideways
• Set batch schedules, verify raw material inventory, and coordinate inbound tanker unloads
• Watch process systems from the control room and hold operators to standard
• Document each shift, including batch traceability records and any deviations
• Plan manual work such as raw material loading, QC sampling, and cleanout at the end of runs
• Own safety, housekeeping, and operating standards for the shift

What They Need

• Degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Biology, or a related field, or 5+ years leading people in hands-on chemical processing
• Continuous process chemical experience is required; polymer, coatings, plastics, and extrusion backgrounds translate well
• PSM exposure strongly preferred
• Shift leadership experience in chemical or similar industrial manufacturing, with the confidence to make decisions without a manager on site
• Background with automated process controls preferred
• Comfortable splitting time between the floor and the desk
• Steady work history showing growth inside past employers
