Production Supervisor - 3rd Shift

A Snapshot of Your Day

As Production Supervisor on the 3rd shift within the CoC Exciter manufacturing unit, you will maintain operational continuity and leadership during night‑time production of large generator components. To ensure consistent output and team performance, the role is structured around three core areas: direct team leadership and supervision, management of production operations and execution, and oversight of safety, quality, and continuous improvement initiatives.

These focus areas collectively ensure that the 3rd shift meets its production, safety, and quality objectives. Given the emphasis on independent shift management and process oversight, this role requires significant experience in a manufacturing environment, demonstrated leadership capabilities, and a strong background in production planning and Lean manufacturing principles. A proven record of upholding safety and quality standards is essential for success in this role.
