Shift Supervisor
Every beam, rebar cage, and structural component leaving our floor shapes skylines and infrastructure. As Shift Supervisor you own the production window that turns raw steel into on-time, defect-free product. Your leadership directly determines whether we hit customer delivery dates, protect our people, and keep the plant running at peak throughput.
Performance Objectives
- Deliver 95%+ on-time, in-full output of fabricated steel components each shift by coordinating workflow, staffing, and material flow.
- Drive first-pass quality above 98% through real-time inspection, root-cause coaching, and immediate process corrections.
- Achieve zero lost-time incidents per quarter by enforcing lockout/tagout, PPE, and crane/rigging protocols while modeling safe behavior.
- Cut unplanned downtime 15% within 90 days via daily equipment checks, operator-led maintenance, and rapid escalation of issues.
- Develop 8–12 operators per shift into fully cross-trained fabricators capable of meeting AWS and project-spec standards.
- Close every shift with accurate production, scrap, and labor reports that enable next-shift continuity and weekly KPI reviews.
Environment & Resources
You report to the Plant Manager and lead a mixed crew of welders, fitters, and material handlers on a rotating shift in a high-volume fabrication shop. You have full authority over shift staffing, overtime, and work sequencing, plus access to ERP scheduling, CNC cutting data, overhead cranes, and a dedicated maintenance technician. Safety and quality teams provide daily support; capital improvements follow a documented request process.
Essential Qualifications
- 5+ years supervising production crews in steel fabrication, structural welding, or heavy manufacturing.
- Proven record of hitting daily output and quality targets while reducing safety incidents.
- Hands-on knowledge of AWS D1.1, mill certificates, and rebar/structural detailing.
- Ability to read shop drawings, run basic production reports, and coach operators on equipment and process.
- OSHA 30 or equivalent plus demonstrated lockout/tagout and crane-safety leadership.
Role Selling Points
- Direct line of sight from your shift’s output to major commercial and infrastructure projects.
- Growing operation with capital investment in new equipment and process upgrades.
- Clear path to Superintendent or Plant leadership for proven performers.
- Stable, full-time role with overtime opportunities in a demand-driven industry.
