• Identify production issues quickly, troubleshoot problems, and implement effective solutions
• Escalate critical concerns appropriately while maintaining shift continuity and operational stability
• Train, mentor, and develop employees to build a reliable and accountable team
• Conduct employee evaluations and contribute to hiring, coaching, and disciplinary actions
• Ensure compliance with company policies and procedures

What We’re Looking For

• Previous leadership experience in a manufacturing or production environment
• Strong independent decision‑making and problem‑solving abilities
• Dependable, self‑motivated, and able to lead effectively with minimal support
• Strong communication and team leadership skills
• Commitment to workplace safety, quality, and operational excellence
• Ability to hold employees accountable while maintaining positive working relationships

Why Join Us?

• Leadership role with autonomy and responsibility
• Opportunity to make a direct impact on second shift operations

Qualifications

What You Bring:

• High school diploma or equivalent required; technical training or associate degree preferred
• 3 or more years of leadership experience in a manufacturing, production, or industrial environment
• Previous experience supervising employees on an off‑shift or in a low‑oversight environment strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, workflow management, and production scheduling
• Demonstrated problem‑solving and troubleshooting skills in a fast‑paced production environment
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to lead, coach, and hold employees accountable
• Experience conducting employee training, performance evaluations, and disciplinary actions preferred
