The Right Candidate
The ideal candidate is someone who can balance floor leadership with the administrative responsibilities of supervision. We need an individual who is comfortable managing people and production while also staying on top of schedules, documentation, communication, reporting, employee issues, and follow-up.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced manufacturing professional who takes ownership of their shift, communicates proactively, follows through on commitments, and understands that successful production leadership requires both strong people skills and strong organizational discipline.
