What You’ll Do
Lead Night Shift Operations
You are the decision-maker on shift. You’ll oversee production execution end-to-end, ensuring output targets, safety standards, and quality benchmarks are consistently met.
Drive the Schedule
Assess daily production needs, build and manage the schedule, and keep product availability and shipping commitments on track.
Improve Performance Continuously
You’ll own efficiency metrics, track downtime, and lead improvement initiatives. You’re expected not just to spot problems, but to fix them — recommending changes to materials, workflows, and facilities when needed.
Troubleshoot in Real Time
When equipment, processes, or facilities have issues, you resolve them. You’ll coordinate with maintenance and management to minimize downtime and maintain a safe environment.
Use Data to Lead
Analyze production metrics to identify trends, surface issues early, and make informed decisions that keep the floor moving.
Own Safety — Completely
During night shift, EHS accountability is yours. You’ll lead emergency response, manage escalations, and maintain a safe environment in the absence of on-site safety leadership.
Support Cross-Functional Teams
Provide on-site guidance to quality, distribution, and technical staff during off-hours, keeping functions aligned and issues moving up the chain when needed.
