Description

Join Our Team as a Production Supervisor at Empower Manufacturing!

The Production Supervisor is responsible for leading daily manufacturing operations while driving safety, quality, delivery, accountability, and continuous improvement throughout the shop. This role is not simply responsible for managing people — it is responsible for owning outcomes.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader who leads from the floor, communicates openly and honestly, and works cross-functionally with Quality, Customer Service, Engineering, and Production personnel to deliver the best possible customer experience.

This individual must be willing to step in wherever needed including operating equipment, troubleshooting problems, supporting setups, coaching employees, and removing barriers that prevent success. Success in this role requires accountability, urgency, curiosity, adaptability, and the ability to build trust with both hourly employees and leadership.

At Empower Manufacturing, we value leaders who are curious, solutions-focused, team-oriented, and willing to continuously learn the entire operation rather than remain confined to a single department or process.
