We're not looking for a buddy. We're looking for a leader - someone who commands respect, holds the line, and drives a floor to perform at its best every single shift.
THE ROLE
This isn't a role for someone looking to be popular. This is a role for someone who thrives on structure, takes accountability seriously, and gets results through discipline and clarity, not always through consensus.
You'll own the production floor. Standards are set. Expectations are high. Your job is to make sure they're met, every day, no excuses.
THE PROFILE OF A FLOOR COMMANDER
Authoritative presence - people know where they stand with you
Non-negotiable on standards - 5S, safety, output, no exceptions
Decisive under pressure
Comfortable with hard conversations - accountability over comfort
Data-driven operator - tracks KPIs, spots problems early
Command and clarity - instructions are heard and followed
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
Lead and supervise a team of production workers - set expectations and hold them
Drive daily, weekly, and monthly production targets with zero tolerance for preventable failures
Enforce 5S principles (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain) and enforce them consistently
Conduct safety audits, address hazards immediately, and maintain a culture where safety is non-negotiable
Run shift communications: production logs, KPI tracking, updates to management - nothing falls through the cracks
Oversee workforce training so every employee knows their role and performs it properly
Coordinate with maintenance to keep equipment running and downtime minimal
Implement company Quality Assurance Procedures and Departmental Work Instructions to the letter
Think you can run this floor? Serious candidates only. We'll know the difference.
