What You’ll Do

• Lead assigned personnel and build a culture of teamwork, accountability, safety, and performance
• Review the daily production schedule, plan shift priorities, assign work, and ensure materials, supplies, people, and equipment are aligned to meet department goals
• Supervise, coach, motivate, and develop employees on the overnight shift
• Communicate promptly with department managers and production planning when delays occur, including estimated downtime and expected restart timing
• Coordinate with maintenance, engineering, planning, HR, safety, and other departments as needed
• Maintain strong housekeeping practices and ensure employees follow all safety policies
• Support attendance tracking, absence forms, shift leave requests, and related documentation
• Conduct introductory and annual performance reviews
• Recommend performance increases, retraining, transfers, or other employment actions as appropriate
• Participate in interviews for department positions and recommend strong candidates for hire
• Partner with trainers and safety committee members to support new hire orientation and safety training
• Encourage employees to understand the bigger picture, identify root causes, and contribute ideas for corrective action

What Success Looks Like

• The overnight shift is organized, safe, productive, and informed
• Employees know what is expected
• Production schedules are reviewed and actively managed
• Issues are escalated quickly
• Delays are addressed with urgency and transparency
• Team members feel supported, coached, and held accountable

What We’re Looking For

• Strong supervisory or team leadership experience in a manufacturing, production, warehouse, or industrial environment
• Comfortable leading teams, communicating across departments, handling production challenges, and coaching employees with fairness and consistency
• Good judgment when responding to production delays, staffing needs, material issues, or equipment concerns
• Commitment to safety, quality, housekeeping, and accountability
• Ability to build trust while holding employees accountable to performance expectations
• Comfort working with HR, maintenance, engineering, production planning, safety, and department leadership
• Ability to document attendance, performance, training, and shift-related updates accurately
• A steady, ethical, and professional approach to employee relations

Why This Role Matters

The overnight shift plays a critical role in keeping production on track. This supervisor helps set the tone for safety, teamwork, communication, and execution when many support teams may not be on-site. This is not a "sit in the office" role. It is a visible leadership role for someone who understands manufacturing, values people, and knows how to keep a team moving toward the goal.
