Job description

Description

Ready to lead a team that builds parts that matter?

PacAero is looking for a Second Shift Manufacturing Supervisor to lead our manufacturing team in Agawam, MA. In this role, you’ll provide hands‑on floor leadership across CNC Machining, Plating, Quality, and Assembly, helping keep people, priorities, and production moving in the right direction.

Second shift needs more than someone keeping an eye on production. It needs a leader - someone who can walk the floor, understand what needs to get done, set priorities, work through problems, and keep the team moving together.

You don’t need to be the technical expert in every department. You do need to understand manufacturing, be comfortable making decisions in a production environment, and know how to lead, coach, and hold people accountable.

Why Join PacAero?

• 4-day workweek - Monday-through-Thursday


• Second-shift differential


• Monthly bonus opportunities


• 12 paid company holidays - including your birthday!


• Medical, dental, vision, disability coverage & more


• 401(k) with up to 4% company match


• Employer HSA contribution


• Separate PTO and sick time


• Employee events, celebrations and recognition throughout the year


• Stable, growing aerospace manufacturing environment with opportunities to develop your skills and career

At PacAero, we work hard, have fun, and get stuff done. We believe culture matters - from recognizing great work and celebrating wins to creating a place where people enjoy coming to work and feel like part of the team.

What You’ll Do

As the Second Shift Manufacturing Supervisor, you’ll provide day-to-day leadership and coordination across second-shift operations. You’ll spend your time on the floor with the team, monitoring production, setting priorities, addressing issues as they arise, and making sure employees have the direction and support they need to be successful.

You’ll work closely with department leaders across Machining, Plating, Quality, Assembly, Engineering, and other support functions to maintain continuity between shifts, communicate production needs, resolve issues, and ensure work is completed safely, efficiently, and to our quality standards.

Just as importantly, you’ll lead people. That means setting clear expectations, providing coaching and feedback, recognizing strong performance, addressing concerns when they arise, and helping build a second‑shift team that works well together and gets results.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with manufacturing experience and demonstrated experience leading people in a production environment. You should be comfortable working across multiple areas of manufacturing, balancing changing priorities, solving problems on the floor, and making sound decisions when senior leaders may not be onsite.

You don’t need to know every machine, process, or technical detail. You do need to know how to ask the right questions, bring the right people together, communicate clearly, and keep production moving without compromising safety or quality.

If you’re a hands‑on leader who likes being on the floor, developing people, solving problems, and getting things done, we want to hear from you.

Schedule: Full-time | Second Shift | Onsite in Agawam, MA | Monday-Thursday | 4 x 10-hour shifts

This position is eligible for a second‑shift differential.

As part of a manufacturing environment supporting customer demand, additional hours may occasionally be required based on production and business needs.

Come grow with us and take the next step in your leadership career at PacAero.
