Description

Join Our Team as a Production Supervisor at Empower Manufacturing!

The Production Supervisor is responsible for leading daily manufacturing operations while driving safety, quality, delivery, accountability, and continuous improvement throughout the shop. This role is not simply responsible for managing people — it is responsible for owning outcomes.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader who leads from the floor, communicates openly and honestly, and works cross-functionally with Quality, Customer Service, Engineering, and Production personnel to deliver the best possible customer experience.

This individual must be willing to step in wherever needed including operating equipment, troubleshooting problems, supporting setups, coaching employees, and removing barriers that prevent success. Success in this role requires accountability, urgency, curiosity, adaptability, and the ability to build trust with both hourly employees and leadership.

At Empower Manufacturing, we value leaders who are curious, solutions-focused, team-oriented, and willing to continuously learn the entire operation rather than remain confined to a single department or process.

• Support and develop Team Leads and operators through coaching, mentoring, training, and clear expectations.
• Maintain a visible presence on the production floor and assist hands-on when necessary, including operating equipment or supporting setups and troubleshooting.
• Identify production bottlenecks, workflow issues, and process improvement opportunities and drive corrective actions.
• Promote a culture of open communication, teamwork, honesty, and continuous improvement.
• Ensure production schedules and staffing align with operational priorities and customer commitments.
• Drive adherence to safety, quality, housekeeping, and operational standards.

• Strong leadership presence with the ability to motivate, coach, and hold teams accountable.
• Hands-on manufacturing experience preferred, including willingness to work directly in production when needed.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with all levels of the organization.
• Demonstrated problem-solving ability with a continuous improvement mindset.
• Experience working closely with Quality, Scheduling, Customer Service, and Production teams.
• Lean Manufacturing, 5S, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement experience is a plus.
• Ability to prioritize multiple responsibilities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Comfortable using production systems, reports, and business software.
• High school diploma or GED required; additional technical or leadership training preferred.
