OPERATIONS MANUFACTURING SUPERVISOR PURE BIOMASS ABOUT PURE BIOMASS
Pure Biomass is a growing engineering and manufacturing company focused on innovative controlled-environment process systems, sterile manufacturing solutions, and custom industrial equipment. The company combines mechanical design, automation, fabrication, process control, and hands-on problem solving to develop unique systems for specialized industries. This is not a large corporate environment with layers of bureaucracy. Pure Biomass is a fast-moving, entrepreneurial company where good people can make a direct impact, solve real problems, and help build something meaningful. The team works closely together, values practical thinking, accountability, and initiative, and is looking for people who want to grow with the business. Because the company designs and builds highly customized systems, employees are exposed to a wide variety of manufacturing, engineering, fabrication, assembly, process control, and operational challenges — making this a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys both leadership and hands-on operational involvement.
POSITION OVERVIEW
Operations Manufacturing Supervisor Pure Biomass is seeking a hands-on Operations Manufacturing Supervisor to help own and drive the day-to-day production flow of the business. This is not a sit-behind-the-desk management role. The ideal candidate will be comfortable leading people while also being directly involved in production coordination, workflow management, scheduling, quality oversight, problem solving, and helping remove bottlenecks across the shop and operations environment. This role is designed to help create structure, improve execution, increase accountability, and keep projects moving efficiently from concept through production. The right individual will help bring organization and operational discipline to a growing company while maintaining flexibility in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. This role will also occasionally support prototype builds, process development activities, and R D-related projects as business needs evolve. This position is intended to help create operational stability, improve manufacturing visibility, and allow company leadership to gradually transition away from being directly involved in every daily operational decision.
