Production Manager - 2nd Shift
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions, navigation, cookie, etc.
We need to parse the description.
Content:
Position Summary: description about role. Could be "About the role" section.
Key Responsibilities: list.
Qualifications: paragraph.
Physical Requirements: maybe part of Requirements? Could be separate "Requirements" section? The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Qualifications content. Physical Requirements could go under Requirements or maybe Skills? Probably Requirements.
Why Underground Printing? includes culture, values, maybe "About the role" or "Benefits"? Actually benefits described later: "This is a full-time, salaried position with paid time off & paid holidays! Full-time Team Members are also eligible to join our 401(k) Plan -- with employer 4% matching. All Team Members are eligible for a 40% discount! UGP offers Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance to all full-time Team Members! UGP offers a variety of different employer-contributed PPO Medical Insurance plan options to choose from through Blue Cross Blue Shield, as well as Dental Insurance through Delta Dental and Vision Insurance through Eyemed." That's Benefits.
Also "We participate in E-Verify..." that's legal boilerplate, remove.
Also "We are committed to ensuring that all employees are treated fairly..." that's EEO boilerplate, remove.
Also "Our Core Values ..." maybe could be part of About the role or separate? Not a standard heading; we could include as part of About the role or maybe as a separate section like "Culture" but not in allowed headings. Probably incorporate into About the role.
Pay: not mentioned explicitly (no salary). So we should not create Pay section.
Schedule: mention full-time, salaried position. Could infer schedule? Not specific. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits are stated, so include Benefits. Schedule not explicitly stated (just full-time). Might be considered schedule? It says full-time, salaried position. That's somewhat schedule info. But "Schedule" heading expects details like shift times, etc. Not present. Safer to omit Schedule.
Skills: not explicitly listed; maybe we can infer from qualifications but better not to create unless explicit. The qualifications mention experience, Lean Manufacturing, 5S, Kaizen, continuous improvement, technology, reporting, automation, AI. Those could be Skills. But the instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. The qualifications section already covers experience; we could put skills under Qualifications or separate Skills if we want. But we already have Qualifications heading; we could put the bullet list of qualifications there. The "Skills" heading might be redundant. Safer to not create Skills unless we have explicit skills list. We have some skill-like statements: "comfortable utilizing technology, reporting systems, automation tools, and emerging AI solutions". That's skill. But we can include under Qualifications.
Thus sections: About the role (position summary + maybe core values), Responsibilities, Qualifications (including experience, preferred qualifications, physical requirements), Benefits.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like number of employees 60-75, departments list, responsibilities bullet points, qualifications bullet points, physical requirements details, benefits details.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, E-Verify, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, etc (none present). Also remove duplicated lines.
Let's extract sections.
About the role: Could combine Position Summary and Why Underground Printing? plus Core Values? The Position Summary: "The Production Shift Manager is responsible for the overall performance of production operations during their assigned shift. This role serves as the primary operational leader for the production floor and works closely with department supervisors and leads to ensure production starts on time, remains productive throughout the shift, and finishes according to schedule. This position supports operations involving approximately 60-75 employees working across multiple departments including Screenprint, Embroidery, DTG, Heat Press, and Fulfillment/Shipping operations. Success in this role requires a leader who is comfortable on the production floor, thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, and takes ownership of productivity, quality, safety, and customer commitments."
Why Underground Printing? includes paragraphs about leadership traits, core values list. We'll keep that as part of About the role.
We should not repeat job title.
Now Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Key Responsibilities". Let's capture each:
- Lead production operations during assigned shifts, including weekday, weekend, overtime, and peak-season production schedules.
- Drive productivity, labor efficiency, quality, and on-time completion of customer orders.
- Maintain a strong presence on the production floor and provide real-time support to supervisors, leads, and production teams.
- Coordinate labor, workflow, equipment, and materials to achieve production goals.
- Lead daily production meetings, shift handoffs, and operational communication.
- Hold teams accountable to company standards related to attendance, productivity, quality, safety, and conduct.
- Build, maintain, and improve operational processes, work instructions, and standard operating procedures.
- Lead continuous improvement efforts focused on efficiency, waste reduction, quality improvement, and employee development.
- Investigate operational issues, identify root causes, and implement long-term corrective actions.
- Partner with Maintenance, Production, and Operations leadership to improve equipment reliability and overall operational performance.
Now Qualifications: The paragraph after "Qualifications". Let's capture:
"The ideal candidate will have at least five years of manufacturing, production, fulfillment, warehouse, or operations leadership experience, including experience leading production operations involving approximately 60-75 employees across multiple departments during a shift. Successful candidates are highly organized, process-driven leaders who can make decisions quickly, solve problems effectively, and maintain a high level of accountability. They are comfortable balancing production priorities, employee engagement, quality standards, and customer expectations in a fast-moving manufacturing environment. Experience with Lean Manufacturing, 5S, Kaizen, continuous improvement programs, and custom manufacturing operations is strongly preferred. Candidates should also be comfortable utilizing technology, reporting systems, automation tools, and emerging AI solutions to improve communication, planning, problem solving, and operational efficiency."
Physical Requirements: separate paragraph: "This position requires frequent standing, walking, bending, reaching, lifting, pushing, and pulling throughout the workday. Employees must be able to regularly lift and move materials weighing up to 50 pounds and work within an active manufacturing environment for extended periods of time."
We could include Physical Requirements under Qualifications or as a separate Requirements section. Since we have a heading "Requirements", we could put physical requirements there. But we also have qualifications content. Perhaps better to have two sections: Requirements (physical) and Qualifications (experience/skills). The instruction allows Requirements heading. Let's do that.
Thus:
Requirements
This position requires frequent standing, walking, bending, reaching, lifting, pushing, and pulling throughout the workday. Employees must be able to regularly lift and move materials weighing up to 50 pounds and work within an active manufacturing environment for extended periods of time.
Qualifications
... (the qualifications paragraph)
Now Benefits: paragraph about full-time salaried position, PTO, holidays, 401k matching, discount, health/dental/vision insurance, etc. Also mention "This is a full-time, salaried position with paid time off & paid holidays! Full-time Team Members are also eligible to join our 401(k) Plan -- with employer 4% matching. All Team Members are eligible for a 40% discount! UGP offers Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance to all full-time Team Members! UGP offers a variety of different employer-contributed PPO Medical Insurance plan options to choose from through Blue Cross Blue Shield, as well as Dental Insurance through Delta Dental and Vision Insurance through Eyemed."
We should keep that as Benefits.
We might also include "We participate in E-Verify..." but that's legal boilerplate, remove.
Now About the role: combine Position Summary and Why Underground Printing? plus Core Values? Let's capture Position Summary paragraph as above. Then Why Underground Printing? paragraphs: multiple sentences about leadership traits, core values list. We'll keep them.
We need to avoid repeating any boilerplate like "Our Core Values Show UpWork HardBe Respectful & HonestStrive for ExcellenceDo What You SayPromote Diversity, Equity & Inclusion". That's actually core values list; it's substantive? It's a list of values. Could be included. It's not boilerplate EEO; it's company values. So we keep.
Thus About the role content:
Paragraph 1: Position Summary.
Paragraph 2: "We're looking for leaders who aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves, solve problems, support their teams, and continuously improve how work gets done. If you enjoy building strong teams, improving processes, and delivering results in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, we'd like to talk with you. We're looking for someone who naturally takes ownership and leads from the front. You have a strong presence on the floor and earn the respect of your team through your actions, consistency, and work ethic. You're organized, disciplined, and process-driven, but you know how to make decisions quickly when production demands it. You don't accept "that's how we've always done it" as an answer. You're constantly looking for opportunities to improve safety, quality, efficiency, and the overall employee experience. You care deeply about customer commitments and understand that every order, every shipment, and every deadline matters. You balance urgency with attention to detail and maintain high standards for quality and safety, even during the busiest production periods. You're willing to roll up your sleeves and do the work that needs to get done. You support your team, remain calm under pressure, and aren't afraid to work outside normal business hours when production demands it. You believe in accountability, teamwork, and continuous improvement, and you never lead from behind a desk. Most importantly, you're the type of leader who sees a problem and takes ownership of solving it."
Paragraph 3: "Our Core Values Show UpWork HardBe Respectful & HonestStrive for ExcellenceDo What You SayPromote Diversity, Equity & Inclusion"
We need to keep that exactly as given (no extra spaces?). The original: "Our Core Values Show UpWork HardBe Respectful & HonestStrive for ExcellenceDo What You SayPromote Diversity, Equity & Inclusion". It seems missing spaces between values; but we keep as is.
Now ensure we don't include any application instructions, etc.
