Our lean, world-class team of engineers and operators is applying a first-principles approach to solving the problem of nuclear fuel production.\nWe are a mission-driven company with a culture of urgency, accountability, and transparency.\nHelp us build a high-energy society by making the cleanest, safest form of baseload energy the most affordable.\nAbout This Role\nAs Production Supervisor at General Matter, you'll run a shift across the welding and process piping cells at our new manufacturing site in Paducah, Kentucky, which produces process piping and structural steel fabrications for the nuclear industry. This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll spend about 60% of your time on the floor coaching fitters, welders and operators, solving problems at the cell and keeping automated equipment running. The other 40% goes to driving the KPIs that show how the shift is performing. You'll be here from the start: commissioning new cells and equipment, building the crews, and setting the standard for safe, on-schedule work that holds up in an NRC-regulated quality environment.\nThe work happens on an active fabrication floor with welding, grinding, overhead cranes and forklifts. PPE is required, and you'll need to stand and walk for long periods and lift up to 50 lbs, with or without reasonable accommodation. You'll work assigned shifts, including off-shift coverage while the site starts up.\nIf you seek high impact and are excited by fast-paced, intense, Skunkworks-style projects, we encourage you to apply to join our team.\nResponsibilities\nLead the shift on the floor: run shift start-up and tier meetings, assign work by cell, and stay at the point of fabrication coaching fit-up, welding and assembly on pipe spools and structural steel.\nOwn shift KPIs (schedule attainment, first-pass yield, weld repair rate, OEE and downtime on automated equipment, units per labor hour, overtime and safety) and act on them daily through the shift KPI board and handoffs.\nRun and improve automated and mechanized fabrication equipment, such as orbital and robotic welding, pipe positioners and CNC cutting, partnering with Maintenance and Weld Development on setup, troubleshooting and uptime.\nEnsure work follows approved procedures, drawings and welder qualifications, with traceability that meets a nuclear quality and safety program (10 CFR Part 70), and support Quality's stop-work authority.\nBuild and develop the crew: help hire and train shift/cell leads and operators, write and maintain standard work, and keep the training matrix current.\nLead a strong safety culture on the shift, covering hot work, lifting and rigging, cranes and forklifts, PPE, near-miss reporting and 5S.\nBasic Qualifications\nEvidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc.).\n5+ years in process piping and/or steel fabrication, including 2+ years supervising or leading a shift or crew of welders, fitters and operators.\nSolid hands-on welding background, with working knowledge of GTAW, GMAW, FCAW and SMAW, pipe and structural fit-up, and reading isometrics and shop drawings.\nStrong understanding of automated or mechanized fabrication equipment (orbital or robotic welding, positioners, CNC plasma/laser cutting) and basic PLC/HMI operation.\nDemonstrated use of production KPIs to run a shift, with experience tracking and improving schedule attainment, first-pass yield, rework and equipment uptime.\nAbility to find the root cause of fit-up, weld and equipment problems at the cell, and to make clear calls from first principles when you only have partial information.\nHigh school diploma or equivalent.\nAbility to work extended hours and weekends as necessary.\nMust be a U.S. person, as this role requires regular access to export-controlled environments, and able to obtain and maintain the site access authorization required for the role.\nPreferred Skills and Experience\nAssociate or bachelor's degree in welding, manufacturing or a related field.\nExperience in a fast-paced engineering or highly technical environment, with a resourceful approach to delivering under tight timelines or budget constraints.\nWorking knowledge of ASME B31 piping codes and AWS D1.1, welding procedure specifications, welder qualifications and NDE.\nAWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) or current welding certifications.\nExperience launching or commissioning automated weld or cutting cells, or programming robotic welding systems.\nLean or Six Sigma training, and experience in nuclear-industry fabrication or another NRC-regulated quality program.\nExperience using an MES and ERP/MRP system on the shop floor.\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nGeneral Matter is an Equal Opportunity Employer; employment with General Matter is governed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any manner by race, color, religion, gender, national origin/ethnicity, veteran status, disability status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, mental or physical disability or any other legally protected status.\nCompensation and Benefits\nThe base salary range for this role is $120k-$170k annually.\nCompensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity. Please note that the stated salary range is an estimate and may be adjusted based on market conditions, business needs, or other factors.
