You’ll work closely with Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, Quality, and Supply Chain to keep production moving, solve problems, and identify opportunities to improve performance.\nThis is a hands-on leadership opportunity for someone who understands manufacturing, enjoys developing people, and knows how to balance production demands with safety, quality, and employee engagement. If you’re the kind of leader who would rather be on the manufacturing floor helping your team succeed than managing entirely from behind a desk, we’d like to hear from you.\nWhat’s In It for You\n$75,000-$85,000 annual salary\n1st shift schedule\nBenefits starting Day One, including medical, dental, and vision insurance\n401(k) with company match\nPaid time off and paid holidays\nTuition assistance\nProfessional development and internal growth opportunities\nOpportunity to lead and develop a manufacturing production team\nDirect influence on safety, quality, productivity, and operational performance\nCollaboration with experienced Operations, Engineering, Maintenance, and Quality teams\nOpportunity to help improve manufacturing processes and build a stronger production operation\nWhat You’ll Do\nAs a Production Supervisor, you’ll be responsible for the people, processes, equipment, safety, quality, and daily performance of your assigned production area.

You’ll need:\n3-5 years of leadership experience in a manufacturing environment\nStrong understanding of Lean Manufacturing methodologies, concepts, and practices\nExperience supervising production employees and managing daily manufacturing operations\nAbility to plan and organize production activities while balancing competing priorities\nStrong communication and interpersonal skills\nExperience coaching, developing, and managing employee performance\nAbility to make sound decisions and resolve production problems independently\nStrong understanding of manufacturing safety, quality, and operating procedures\nAbility to work collaboratively with Maintenance, Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and other departments\nResults-oriented approach with a commitment to continuous improvement\nAbility to adapt schedules and priorities to changing production requirements\nA bachelor’s degree in a related discipline is preferred, although an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience will be considered.\nHow You’ll Make an Impact\nSuccess in this role means building a production team that consistently delivers safe, high-quality work while meeting manufacturing goals.

You’ll spend significant time on the manufacturing floor, working directly with employees, equipment, and production processes. Your day may include reviewing production schedules, helping troubleshoot equipment problems, coaching an employee, coordinating with Maintenance, addressing a quality concern, or identifying an opportunity to improve how work gets done. You’ll need to be comfortable moving between people leadership, technical problem-solving, production planning, and operational decision-making.\nThe role involves working in both office and manufacturing environments. Production areas may include elevated temperatures, noise, and other industrial conditions. The position may require walking, standing, moving through manufacturing areas, and occasionally carrying up to 35 pounds, with reasonable accommodations available for qualified individuals. Although this is a 1st shift position, occasional schedule flexibility or weekend availability may be needed to support production requirements.\nAbout Elmet Technologies\nElmet Technologies is a division of The Elmet Group and a leading U.S.-based manufacturer of precision-engineered products serving global industries, including aerospace, defense, semiconductor, and energy.
