Our client is seeking a hands-on leader to own on-shift production execution and ensure the plant runs as a high-performance machine.

• Enforce quality and safety standards on the floor, stopping production and escalating for disposition when violations occur
• Monitor performance through Vorne dashboards and production data, recording downtime reasons accurately
• Manage consumable supplies by performing daily floor walks and opening POs for skids, banding, and PPE
• Facilitate clean handoffs between shifts by conducting face-to-face transitions and updating production boards
• Coordinate with plant supervisors and the Training Manager to identify skill gaps and support real-time coaching
