- Effectively manage employee relations and performance concerns, including recognizing when coaching, corrective action, or progressive discipline is appropriate.
- Plan labour allocation and workflow to meet production schedules while maximizing efficiency and minimizing downtime.
- Monitor production metrics such as throughput, scrap, rework, downtime, and labour efficiency, and take corrective action as needed.
- Promote and enforce a strong safety culture by ensuring compliance with all health and safety requirements, safe work practices, and company procedures.
- Follow operational direction and established procedures while ensuring production teams consistently adhere to company standards and expectations.
- Work collaboratively with maintenance, quality, engineering, and supply chain teams to resolve production issues and improve operational efficiency.
- Identify bottlenecks and lead continuous improvement initiatives to improve productivity, quality, and standardization.
- Ensure products are manufactured in accordance with specifications, quality standards, and documented processes.
- Support onboarding and training of new employees and help build a capable, accountable, and engaged production team.
- Participate in scheduling, shift handovers, reporting, and production meetings to ensure clear communication and continuity between shifts.
- Maintain accurate production records and prepare reports on shift performance, issues, and improvement opportunities.
- Support a disciplined operating environment where teamwork, standard work, process adherence,
and problem-solving are embedded in daily operations.
Qualifications and Experience
- 3-5 years of proven supervisory experience in a production or manufacturing environment is required; experience in a high-volume or process-driven facility is strongly preferred.
- Previous experience working night shifts in a manufacturing or production environment is preferred, with the ability to work permanent night shifts.
- Demonstrated ability to lead frontline teams in a structured manufacturing setting with clear accountability for safety, quality, and productivity.
- Experience managing employee performance, addressing workplace issues, and applying coaching and progressive discipline appropriately and consistently.
- Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to manage different personalities, resolve conflicts, and maintain positive working relationships.
- Ability to follow direction, implement operational priorities, and consistently uphold established processes and expectations.
- Strong understanding of production operations, workflow management, and shop floor problem-solving.
- Experience using production metrics and KPIs to manage performance and drive improvements.
- Knowledge of health and safety requirements in a manufacturing environment and a strong commitment to safe operations.
- Ability to coach, develop, and motivate employees while maintaining accountability and operational discipline.
- Strong communication, organizational, and decision-making skills.
- Collaborative, team-oriented approach with the ability to work effectively across departments and with operations leadership.
- Experience with continuous improvement, lean manufacturing, or process optimization initiatives is an asset.
- Post-secondary education in manufacturing, operations, engineering, or a related field is an asset; equivalent hands-on experience will also be considered.
What Success Looks Like The successful candidate will bring credibility as an experienced frontline manufacturing leader, with the ability to build team accountability, manage employee performance, and keep night shift operations running safely and efficiently.
