Find & Apply For Production Supervisor Jobs in Poteau, Oklahoma

Position Summary We're hiring a Fabrication Foreman to lead our shop floor. You'll direct welders, fitters, and helpers through daily production, own the safety and throughput of the shop, and serve as the main link between the production manager and the crew doing the work. This role needs strong welding and fabrication knowledge, the ability to read and understand shop drawings, and the judgment to keep multiple jobs moving safely, on schedule, and on budget. What You'll Do Review the production schedule daily and assign work to the crew based on skill, certification, and workload. Sequence work so material, fit-up, welding, and finishing stations stay fed, and track job progress against estimated hours. Run daily toolbox talks, coach welders and fitters on technique and productivity, and hold the crew to high standard. Verify welder certifications and continuity records are current before assigning work that requires a specific qualification. Read shop drawings, weld symbols, and WPS documents, and make sure the crew understands the job before it hits the floor. Coordinate with QC at required hold points; relay findings and repair directives to the crew and schedule rework without disrupting other jobs. Enforce PPE, hot-work, lift, and crane requirements, and stop work immediately when you see an unsafe condition. Approve daily time entries, verify job-cost coding, and manage overtime and time-off requests. Keep welding machines, cranes, forklifts, and hand tools inspected and tagged out when defective; monitor consumables and reorder before stoppages. Deliver a daily status update on each active job (percent complete, blockers, expected completion) at the production meeting. What You Bring 5+ years of hands-on welding and fabrication experience, including time leading or mentoring other welders/fitters. Fluency reading shop drawings, weld symbols, and WPS documents. Working knowledge of MIG, TIG, Flux-Core, and Stick welding processes and typical qualification requirements. Experience managing production schedules, labor hours, and job-cost tracking.
