What We're Looking For

We are looking for a working supervisor, not someone who manages from an office. The successful candidate will be visible on the shop floor, engaged with the team, and capable of stepping in technically when challenges arise.

You should be someone who can organize the shift, develop employees, solve problems, maintain accountability, and keep production moving while ensuring safety and quality are never compromised.

At Source Machine, our focus is on delivering for our customers while continuing to develop our people and improve our processes. This position will play an important role in building a strong, independent weekend team capable of consistently meeting those expectations.
