Description
Position Status: Salaried Exempt
Alloy Engineering is hiring a hands-on Welding / Fabrication Supervisor to lead our 2nd shift operations in Berea. This is a high-impact leadership role with full ownership of production, quality, and team performance. If you’re a strong shop-floor leader who thrives in fast-paced fabrication environments, this is your opportunity to make a difference.
As part of a 100% employee-owned company, this role offers the opportunity to make a direct impact while sharing in the company’s success.
The Weld / Fabrication Supervisor is responsible for owning execution of welding and forming operations on second shift, ensuring production meets schedule, quality, safety, and labor targets. This role serves as the primary on-shift leader, making real-time decisions to maintain flow, resolve issues, and deliver results without dependence on day-shift leadership.
- Alloy Engineering requires strong on-shift leadership to maintain production flow outside of normal business hours
- The Plant Manager in combination with Manager of Integrated Operations establishes direction, priorities, and systems — this role ensures execution happens in real time.

· Provide structured daily handoff to plant supervision and Plant Manager
· Escalate production risks early
· Ensure clear communication across shifts
· Resolve technical production issues in real time
· Implement countermeasures to maintain output
· Support continuous improvement efforts
· Serve as the first point of contact for technical issues impacting welding, forming, and fabrication operations on shift
· Troubleshoot weld defects, fit-up issues, distortion, and process inconsistencies in real time
· Interpret prints, WPS requirements, and welding symbols to guide proper execution and correct errors
· Support resolution of equipment-related issues (weld machines, fixtures, press brakes) in coordination with maintenance as needed
· Identify root causes of recurring process problems and implement immediate countermeasures to maintain production flow
· Partner with Engineering & Quality to resolve complex technical issues and ensure corrective actions are sustained
· Provide hands-on guidance and coaching to operators to improve technique, consistency, and overall workmanship
· Ensure technical issues are documented, communicated, and handed off effectively between shifts
· Decides: Labor assignments, job sequencing, immediate safety actions
· Recommends: Staffing changes, process improvements, equipment needs
· Escalates: Material shortages, quality issues, missed targets, safety incidents
· Schedule attainment (OTD)
· Labor efficiency
· Weld quality and NCR rates (rework, NCRs (internal deviations), MRBs (customer facing deviations)
· Safety performance
· Workforce attendance and stability
