Manufacturing Supervisor

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections present: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content. The posting includes many details: description of role, responsibilities, safety, operational performance, people leadership, shift management, continuous improvement, area supervisor accountability (maybe a list), physical requirements, desired knowledge/skills/abilities, leadership competencies and desired education, pay range for Minnesota, benefits description, ITAR compliance, about the team (maybe about the team). We need to map to sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should strip out EEO statement, ITAR compliance maybe? ITAR compliance is substantive? It mentions US persons requirement; could be considered a requirement. Might be part of Requirements. But we can include as a bullet under Requirements. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to capture responsibilities: many bullet-like paragraphs. We'll create

• for lists. For prose, use

  . We need sections: About the role (maybe a summary). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe includes desired knowledge, skills, abilities, leadership competencies, education, physical requirements). Qualifications maybe overlapping; but we can combine. The instruction: use headings for those specific labels if content exists. We need to decide which sections to include. Let's extract content: - About the role: The first paragraph: "The Manufacturing Supervisor is expected to actively manage the business throughout the shift—not simply react to issues. This includes understanding performance hour by hour, identifying gaps to plan, taking timely corrective action, escalating barriers, and ensuring effective communication across shifts and support functions. The successful supervisor creates a culture of accountability, ownership, teamwork, and continuous improvement while developing employees and maintaining high operational standards." That's about the role. - Responsibilities: Could be broken into categories: Safety & Compliance, Operational Performance, People Leadership, Shift Management & Communication, Continuous Improvement, Area – Supervisor Accountability (list of metrics). We'll make a responsibilities section with subheadings? But only allowed headings are those specific; we cannot add custom headings. So we need to put responsibilities as a list under

  Responsibilities

  . We can include all duty statements as
• items. - Requirements: Could include physical requirements, desired knowledge/skills/abilities, leadership competencies, education, experience, ITAR compliance (US person). We'll list as
• . - Qualifications: Might be overlapping with requirements; but we can maybe not include Qualifications if content same as Requirements. But we need to include only if there is specific content distinct. The posting includes "Leadership Competencies And Desired Education" and "Desired Knowledge, Skills, Abilities". That could be qualifications. We could treat Requirements as experience/skills, Qualifications as education/leadership competencies. But to avoid duplication, we can combine into one section maybe Requirements. However instruction: Use headings for those specific labels if content exists. It didn't say we must include all; we can include only those with real content. We could include both Requirements and Qualifications if we can split content meaningfully. Let's see distinct sections: - Desired Knowledge, Skills, Abilities: KPI reporting, data driven actions, Strong communication skills, Strong knowledge of Clean Room operations, Strong knowledge of Lean Manufacturing (production flow, waste elimination, 5s, process optimization), ISO 9000 administration. - Leadership Competencies And Desired Education: 2+ years of demonstrated leadership experience in manufacturing strongly preferred. Make timely, data-driven decisions in complex situations. Balance strategic thinking with disciplined execution. Bachelor’s degree in operations management, Engineering, or a related field, or 10 yrs. of progressive experience. 3-5 years of related manufacturing experience. Build a culture where safety, quality, operational excellence, and employee engagement are core values. - Physical Requirements: list of abilities. - Pay: For Minnesota: pay range $79,600 - $135,300 annually. Also note about pay ranges determined by role, level, location; individual pay determined by work location and additional job-related factors; pay scale subject to change; recruiter can share more. - Benefits: medical, dental, vision plans; paid time-off program; paid holidays; summary provided during interview. - Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section. - About the team: Could be "About The Team" section. That's not in the allowed headings list; but we could treat as About the role? Already have About the role. The "About The Team" is separate descriptive content about IPM and Ichor. Could be considered "About the role"? Might be extra. But we could include as part of About the role? The instruction: Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So only those headings allowed. So we cannot add "About The Team". We could incorporate that info into About the role or maybe omit? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. If we omit, we lose info. However we could incorporate into About the role as additional prose. That seems acceptable: About the role can include description of team and company. Thus we will put About the role heading with combined description: the initial expectation plus team/company info. Now we need to produce HTML fragment. Structure:

  About the role

  ... combined ...

  Responsibilities

  • ... each duty ...

  Requirements

  • ... physical requirements ...
  • ... desired knowledge, skills, abilities ...
  • ... leadership competencies and desired education ...
  • ... ITAR compliance (US person requirement) ...

  Qualifications

  Maybe we can skip if content overlapping. But we have already put leadership competencies etc under Requirements. Could we move education to Qualifications? Let's think: Requirements often include experience, skills; Qualifications include education, certifications. The posting includes both. So we could split: Requirements: physical requirements, desired knowledge/skills/abilities, leadership competencies (maybe experience), ITAR compliance. Qualifications: education (Bachelor’s degree or 10 yrs experience), 2+ years leadership experience, 3-5 years related manufacturing experience, build a culture... (maybe that's more competency). But to avoid duplication, we need to decide. Better: Keep Requirements as physical requirements + desired knowledge/skills/abilities + ITAR compliance. Keep Qualifications as leadership competencies + desired education + experience. That seems logical. Thus:

  Requirements

  • Physical Requirements: ability to stand/walk 8-12 hrs, bend, stoop, kneel, crouch, reach, adequate vision, color distinction, hearing ability, wear PPE, work in Clean Room with PPE.
  • Desired Knowledge, Skills, Abilities: KPI reporting, data-driven actions; strong communication skills; strong knowledge of Clean Room operations; strong knowledge of Lean Manufacturing (production flow, waste elimination, 5S, process optimization); ISO 9000 administration.
  • ITAR Compliance: Must be a US Person (lawful permanent resident or protected individual) due to ITAR regulations; non-citizens with other visas not eligible.

  Qualifications

  • Leadership Competencies: 2+ years of demonstrated leadership experience in manufacturing strongly preferred; make timely, data-driven decisions in complex situations; balance strategic thinking with disciplined execution; build a culture where safety, quality, operational excellence, and employee engagement are core values.
  • Desired Education: Bachelor’s degree in operations management, Engineering, or related field, or 10 years of progressive experience; 3-5 years of related manufacturing experience.
  Now Responsibilities: we need to list all duty statements. Let's extract duties from the posting: From Safety & Compliance: - Lead the shift with safety as the first priority and ensure employees consistently follow all safety policies, procedures, PPE requirements, and work instructions. - Address unsafe conditions and behaviors immediately and ensure incidents and near misses are properly reported, investigated, and followed through to closure. - Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment using 5S and established workplace standards. Operational Performance: - Own execution of the daily production plan and understand the shift's performance against established targets. - Monitor production hour by hour and take corrective action when performance falls below plan. - Manage key operating metrics including OEE, earned hours, units per hour, schedule attainment, downtime, first-pass yield, scrap/rework, and labor performance, as applicable to the assigned area. - Identify production constraints involving staffing, tooling, equipment, material, quality, work orders, setup, or process issues and drive timely resolution. - Develop and execute recovery plans when the shift is behind plan. - Ensure production transactions and reporting are completed accurately and on time. People Leadership: - Provide clear expectations and daily direction to employees at the beginning of and throughout the shift. - Hold employees accountable for safety, quality, attendance, productivity, and workplace expectations. - Coach employees through performance issues and recognize strong performance. - Conduct performance evaluations and support employee development plans. - Partner with Training and Operations leadership to ensure new employees successfully progress through established first-week, 30-day, and 60-day expectations. - Identify employee skill gaps and coordinate cross-training to improve flexibility and coverage. - Build a culture based on Trust, Accountability, Ownership, and Respect. Shift Management & Communication: - Conduct effective shift-start and Tier meetings focused on safety, staffing, production priorities, quality concerns, and operational risks. - Maintain accurate end-of-shift reporting covering safety, staffing, productivity, quality, downtime, and recovery actions. - Ensure strong shift-to-shift handoffs so priorities, risks, equipment conditions, and open actions are clearly communicated. - Escalate issues early when additional support is required rather than allowing problems to affect delivery. Continuous Improvement: - Use data to identify recurring losses, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities. - Participate in and lead continuous improvement activities, including Kaizen, 5S, standard work, and problem-solving efforts. - Partner with Engineering, Quality, Maintenance, Planning, Materials, Tool Crib, and other support functions to eliminate barriers to production. - Support implementation and sustainment of corrective actions and process improvements. - Encourage employees to identify problems and participate in solutions. Area – Supervisor Accountability (list of metrics): - Safety - Safe shift, incident/near-miss follow-up, training compliance - People - Plan HC vs. actual HC, attendance, training and development - Productivity - Plan vs. actual production/earned hours and hourly performance - OEE - Availability, Performance and Quality losses - Quality - FPY, scrap, rework and containment - Downtime - Reason, duration, escalation and corrective action - Delivery - Schedule attainment and recovery plan - Reporting - Accurate Tier/EOS reporting completed on time We can include these as list items. Now About the role: combine initial expectation paragraph plus About The Team description. About The Team paragraph: "Precision machining is Ichor Precision Machining’s heritage and core strength.
