Production Supervisor

Production Supervisor – Fiberglass Manufacturing

Location & Hours:

Lancaster, TX. Onsite, floor-based role. Shift runs Monday–Thursday, 5:30 AM–4:00 PM. The role requires consistent physical presence on the production floor in a fiberglass (FRP) manufacturing environment.

Company Overview

American Bath Group is a leading manufacturer within the North American bathware market, operating multiple production facilities with a focus on quality, process discipline, and operational performance. The Lancaster facility plays a critical role within this network, operating in a fiberglass (FRP) manufacturing environment where execution at the shift level directly impacts output, cost, and product quality.

The Opportunity

The Lancaster plant has undergone a meaningful operational turnaround over the past six months. Expectations around quality, production discipline, and accountability have been reset. The next phase is different.

This role exists to convert that progress into consistency. The systems and processes are largely in place, but execution is not yet stable. Performance can be strong, but it is not predictable.

This is an opportunity to step into a plant that is no longer broken—but not yet fully controlled—and take ownership of making performance repeatable shift after shift.

Success in Year One

Success is defined by consistency, not isolated wins.

By the end of the first year, the operation should no longer experience significant swings in quality or execution within a shift. The supervisor will have established a controlled environment where standards are followed, issues are addressed at the source, and the team operates with clear accountability.

The shift should run predictably, with fewer disruptions, reduced variability, and stronger alignment between production, quality, and crew performance.

The Mandate

This role owns shift-level execution. That means translating production expectations into real-time action on the floor.

The supervisor is responsible for enforcing process discipline, stabilizing quality performance, and leading the team through direct, hands-on engagement. This is not a role that operates through reporting or delegation. It operates through presence, intervention, and accountability at the point of work.

Year One Critical Outcomes

• Stabilize first-pass yield and eliminate recurring drops in quality performance during the shift
• Reduce scrap and rework by driving consistent adherence to defined processes
• Improve throughput and schedule adherence without sacrificing quality or safety
• Strengthen crew accountability around attendance, punctuality, and performance
• Establish consistent, predictable shift-to-shift execution

Why This Role Is Hard

The challenge is not building systems—it is enforcing them consistently.

The environment requires a leader who is physically present on the floor, making decisions in real time and holding the team accountable. There are limited layers between the supervisor and the work, which means there is no buffer for inaction or delay.

The plant has already improved, which raises the expectation. This role must protect that progress while continuing to push performance forward.

Leadership Profile

• Operates directly on the floor, not through layers or meetings
• Intervenes in real time to correct issues and stabilize performance
• Enforces standards consistently, even under pressure
• Connects production variables—quality, materials, downtime, and output—and acts accordingly
• Models reliability and urgency through personal behavior
• Leads teams through direct accountability, not escalation

Experience Requirements

• Proven experience supervising hourly production teams in a manufacturing environment
• Demonstrated history of hands-on, floor-based leadership with direct intervention
• Experience managing production, quality, and output simultaneously
• Track record of enforcing standards and improving execution consistency
• Consistent record of reliability, attendance, and professionalism

Preferred:

• Experience in fiberglass, composites, or similar manufacturing environments
• Experience in environments undergoing improvement or stabilization
• Bilingual capability to support workforce communication

Why the Right Candidate Will Be Excited

This role offers real ownership. The impact of decisions is immediate and visible.

For a leader who prefers being on the floor, solving problems in real time, and driving measurable improvements in how a team operates, this is an environment where that capability will be fully utilized.

The plant is positioned for continued improvement, and performance in this role is highly visible within a broader manufacturing organization.

Why This Role Matters

This role is a critical lever in sustaining and advancing the plant’s recent turnaround.

Without consistent leadership at the shift level, the operation risks reverting to variability in quality, production, and discipline. With the right leader in place, the plant can move from improvement to sustained performance—where execution is controlled, predictable, and scalable.
