Job Description

Company Summary

Our client is an employee-owned precision manufacturer specializing in advanced machining and related technical services for demanding industries. The company has a well-established culture, a stable and tenured workforce, and a long-term commitment to quality and its people.

Job Summary

Our client is seeking a Manufacturing Supervisor to lead day-to-day shop-floor operations. You will lead machinists and production employees, coordinate work and resources, and keep production running smoothly. You will report to the senior manufacturing leader and work closely with project engineers, who represent the voice of the customer.

This is a leadership role, not a traditional working-supervisor position. You will not be expected to spend a fixed share of your time producing parts, but you must be technically capable of stepping in as a utility machinist when needed.

Responsibilities

• Supervise employees on first shift and help establish continuity with a second shift
• Oversee daily shop-floor operations, including work coordination and resource allocation
• Manage hours, overtime, and clock-in/clock-out administration
• Support and guide machinists, and step into production as a utility machinist when needed
• Collaborate with project engineers to meet customer requirements
• Lead team meetings and keep people, work, and resources aligned
• Learn the company’s specialized machining processes and shop flow, with about three to four months of close collaboration with experienced machinists

Requirements

• 10+ years of machining experience
• 5+ years of supervisory or lead-person experience
• Strong hands-on machining background
• Enough technical depth to understand different shop operations and support machinists
• Comfort leading team meetings and coordinating people, work, and resources

Preferred Requirements

• Experience across multiple machining operations, particularly mills and lathes
• Grinding experience
• Aerospace or job-shop experience

Compensation/Benefits

• Base salary: $90,000–$110,000
• Participation in the company’s ESOP (employee stock ownership plan)

Location

• Cincinnati, Ohio - Onsite at the client’s manufacturing facility
