As Finished Goods Production Supervisor , you own that last step. You'll lead the finished goods team through packaging and shipment — running the line, approving line clearance, managing inventory, and making the call on whether an order is ready to go. It's a hands-on supervisory role: you'll be on the floor troubleshooting equipment as often as you're at a desk reviewing records. This is a good fit if you like being the person who understands both the machines and the people running them, and if you'd rather solve a problem on the line than escalate it. Responsibilities Supervise daily manufacturing operations, coordinating activities across shifts to meet production targets efficiently. Enforce safety standards in production areas, ensuring all team members use personal protective equipment (PPE) correctly and follow established safety protocols. Monitor adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to maintain product quality and regulatory compliance. Provide hands-on leadership by assisting with heavy lifting tasks and mechanical troubleshooting when necessary. Conduct regular safety inspections, identify potential hazards, and implement corrective actions promptly. Train and mentor team members on operational procedures, safety standards, and equipment use to promote a skilled workforce. Maintain accurate production records, report on performance metrics, and support continuous improvement initiatives. Qualifications Proven experience in manufacturing environments with strong mechanical knowledge of production equipment. Familiarity with safety standards in production settings, including GMP guidelines and PPE protocols. Ability to lead a team effectively while maintaining high levels of motivation and engagement. Capable of performing heavy lifting safely and managing physical demands of the role. Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot mechanical issues quickly. Excellent communication skills to coordinate with team members and management effectively. Prior supervisory experience in a manufacturing setting is preferred but not mandatory. Join us to lead with energy, uphold safety excellence, and make a tangible impact on our manufacturing success!
