Job description

Own the floor. Set the standard. Drive production.

A well-established and growing specialty manufacturer in the Rosenberg, TX area is hiring a Production Supervisor to take ownership of its fabrication, welding, and machining operation. This is a direct-hire leadership seat with real authority, a skilled team to build, and a company actively investing in its Rosenberg facility — not a caretaker role, but the person who sets the standard for how the shop runs. You’ll report directly to the Manufacturing Director.

WHY THIS ROLE

• You own the floor — plan the work, set the pace, and be one of three roles (with the Production Coordinator and Project Manager) that drive production every day
• A growing operation that has recently expanded its Rosenberg footprint and is investing in the team behind it
• Direct hire from day one — stability, strong pay, and full benefits
• Room to lead — build, train, and mentor a skilled shop crew, and own the safety and quality culture on your floor

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• Lead 20 shop-floor employees through three trade leads — Extrusion, Machining, and Welding — plus helpers and Shipping & Receiving
• Assign work by project priority and skill level
• Plan, coordinate, and execute daily fabrication, welding, and machining activities to meet production schedules
• Enforce strict adherence to safety policies and PPE, and ensure all work meets quality standards and engineering specifications
• Manage staffing, tools, equipment, and materials while monitoring labor hours, material usage, and efficiency to control cost
• Partner daily with the Production Coordinator and Project Manager, and coordinate closely with QC/QA, Engineering, and Operations
• Identify and resolve production issues and workflow disruptions, and drive continuous improvement

WHAT YOU BRING

• 5–10 years of genuine supervisory or management experience in manufacturing (Production Supervisor, Shop Foreman, Fabrication Supervisor, or General Foreman) — real people leadership, not simply being the most senior person on the floor
• 10+ years working in a manufacturing environment
• Strong leadership skills managing multi-craft production crews
• Strong working knowledge of fabrication, welding, and machining, and of best manufacturing practices and equipment use
• Hands-on pipe welding experience and a machine-shop background a plus
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with a structured, proactive approach — able to build a plan, communicate it clearly, and drive it through to execution
• Proficiency reading and interpreting engineering drawings, blueprints, and technical documents
• An excellent communicator who collaborates across departments daily
• Treats safety as second nature — production and safety go hand in hand
• High school diploma or equivalent required
• Formal leadership or supervisory training a plus

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• $90,000–$100,000 per year, based on experience
• Medical, Dental & Vision Benefits start Day 1 of employment
• 401(k) with 5% company match
• Life insurance
