Production Night Shift Supervisor

About the role

We are looking for a hands‑on Production Supervisor to lead the night‑shift manufacturing team in Bethlehem, PA. The role balances people, production, safety, quality, and accountability in a fast‑paced plant environment. As the shift leader you will be the point of contact for direction, support, problem‑solving and follow‑through, helping create a team where expectations are clear, work is safe, focus is maintained and pride in meeting production goals is encouraged. You will provide steady, approachable leadership, coach employees, respond quickly to issues and keep the operation moving. The night shift is critical to keeping production on track; this supervisor sets the tone for safety, teamwork, communication and execution, and is a visible leadership role for someone who understands manufacturing, values people and knows how to keep a team moving toward the goal. Success means the shift is organized, safe, productive and informed; employees know expectations, schedules are actively managed, issues are escalated quickly, delays are addressed with urgency and transparency, and team members feel supported, coached and held accountable.
