Production Cell Team Leader (Lean Manufacturing)

A day in the life

At Alliance Laundry Systems, we build with integrity and lead with care. As a Production Cell Team Leader, you’ll guide a tight‑knit crew of 8–12 manufacturing professionals under the direction of a Group Leader. Your day starts with a quick safety and goals huddle, moves through coaching and problem‑solving on the line, and ends with clean handoffs to the next shift. You’ll blend servant leadership with disciplined execution to keep quality high, production flowing, and your team growing.

• Onboard and coach new hires, acting as the primary point of contact in your area.
• Run daily pre‑shift meetings to align the team on safety, quality, HR updates, and output targets.
