What you’ll do
- Supervise daily manufacturing activities across sheet metal fabrication, welding, finishing, and assembly.

- Train and coach employees, reinforce accountability, and maintain consistent work standards.
- Ensure employees follow safe work practices and maintain clean, organized work areas.
- Coordinate with engineering, purchasing, and shipping to resolve drawing, material, and scheduling issues.
- Improve work instructions, production flow, and shop-floor practices to reduce waste and rework.
- Track production performance and communicate progress, delays, and corrective actions to management.

- Identify and contain non-conforming parts or equipment before they move to the next production stage or ship.
- Investigate recurring defects with the team and engineering, implement corrective actions, and verify that they work.
- Ensure each shipment includes the correct equipment, components, accessories, and documentation.
What you bring
- Experience supervising or leading a manufacturing team, preferably in metal fabrication, industrial equipment, or mechanical assembly.
- Practical knowledge of sheet metal manufacturing processes, welding, and assembly.
- Ability to read engineering drawings, bills of materials, and work instructions.
- Experience with quality inspections, measuring tools, and resolving production defects.
- Strong planning and communication skills, with the ability to manage changing priorities.
- A direct, fair leadership approach and willingness to work alongside the team when needed.
- Comfort using production tracking software, spreadsheets, and manufacturing documentation.
