Job Title: Shift Supervisor

Location: San Carlos, Ca

Hours : 1:00 PM to 9:30 PM

Department: Manufacturing / Operations

Pay Rate: $30.00 – $32.00 / hour

Position Type: Full-Time, On-site

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on, decisive Shift Supervisor to lead daily manufacturing operations across our die-cutting, slitting, and converting lines. In this role, you will be the primary leader on the floor - driving output, resolving operational roadblocks, and keeping team members accountable. If you are an experienced floor supervisor who takes ownership, makes firm decisions in real time, and thrives in a fast-paced production environment, this is your opportunity to establish strong leadership where it matters most.

Top Requirements

• Proven Floor Leadership: Direct experience successfully leading and running a manufacturing shift - you have owned shift outcomes, managed team dynamics, and driven production goals (not just worked as a senior operator).

• Decisive Problem-Solving: Ability to evaluate real-time production, equipment, and staffing issues and make sound decisions independently without escalating every challenge upward.

• Direct Accountability & Communication: A clear, face-to-face communication style with the confidence to address operator performance, quality issues, and safety compliance directly on the floor.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

• Oversee shift production across die-cutting, slitting, and converting lines to ensure schedule adherence, optimal staffing, and target output.
• Serve as the first-line escalation point for operators facing machinery, quality, or raw material issues before involving higher management.
• Conduct clear shift start and end handoffs, communicating daily priorities, carryover challenges, and production goals to incoming/outgoing shifts.
• Actively monitor real-time production counts, scrap rates, and equipment downtime; intervene quickly to clear bottlenecks.
• Enforce safety policies and quality standards through active, on-the-floor spot checks and real-time corrections.
• Provide ongoing performance coaching and feedback to operators; escalate recurring performance or attendance issues appropriately.
• Lead on-the-floor onboarding, training, and development for new machine operators.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of supervisory or shift leadership experience in a manufacturing environment (experience with die-cutting, web handling, slitting, or converting is a strong plus).
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot basic production bottlenecks and equipment issues.
• Strong interpersonal skills with a direct, firm, and fair leadership style.
• Familiarity with safety standards (OSHA compliance, machine guarding, LOTO).
• Basic computer literacy for logging shift metrics, scrap rates, and downtime reports.
