Job Description

We're hiring Production Supervisors for our precision manufacturing plant.

You'll run an entire production shift, building the schedule, setting manpower levels, and directing the floor through your team. This is a planning and people-leadership role, not a machine-operating one.

Your departments produce to global quality standards, and you'll own the ISO and QMS audits that prove it. You'll also take cost out through lean and 6 Sigma programs, working alongside engineering, maintenance, and quality assurance.

This role requires a bachelor's degree and 5+ years of manufacturing experience.

Why Join Us

  • Lead a full shift: Own production, scheduling, and staffing across your departments.
  • Office-based leadership: Plan, schedule, and direct from the office, not the line.
  • Lean and 6 Sigma: Run cost-reduction programs and own departmental audits.

Hiring on 1st and 3rd Shift

  • Monday - Friday

What You'll Oversee

  • Production processes, machinery, and equipment across the entire facility
  • Production planning and scheduling against customer demand
  • SAP for shop orders, scheduling, and production data
  • ISO and QMS departmental audits
  • Lean and 6 Sigma cost-reduction programs

Responsibilities

  • Production Scheduling: Plan and organize schedules to meet customer due dates.
  • Labor Allocation: Set manpower levels to support production demand each shift.
  • Quality Control: Supervise processes so products meet specifications and quality standards.
  • Operator Training: Train and develop trainees, associates, and production workers.
  • EHS Compliance: Enforce safety protocols and EHS standards across your shift.
  • Daily Problem-Solving: Resolve staffing, tooling, and production line arrangement issues.
  • Cross-Department Coordination: Work with engineering, maintenance, and quality assurance.
  • On-Time Delivery: Own lead times and delivery dates for your departments.

Preferred

  • BS or BE in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
  • Lean or 6 Sigma certification

About Laborup

Laborup is the #1 AI powered talent platform for America’s industrial workforce. We use AI to create jobs, not take them away. We help HR and plant leaders hire and keep the skilled workers who keep plants running: machinists, welders, maintenance techs, operators, industrial electricians, and engineers. USA Today called us the “LinkedIn for blue collar workers,” and Forbes profiled our work in “How AI Is Solving America’s 1 Trillion Dollar Manufacturing Labor Crisis.”

Today we work with manufacturers from 50 person shops to large public companies with tens of thousands of employees, and the story is the same everywhere. It is hard to find talent, hard to keep good people, and staffing costs keep rising. In a market where filling critical industrial roles can take months and turnover is constant, Laborup helps teams move qualified workers from first contact to on site interview in days instead of weeks and keep them on the floor longer.

Most of the workers our customers need are not on LinkedIn or the usual job boards. Laborup uses AI to find this hidden workforce, call and text them, screen and qualify them, build real profiles, and match them directly to the plants and roles where they can succeed. For workers, that means real, permanent roles at serious manufacturers, not one off gigs. For companies, it is durable infrastructure for hiring and retention at scale in a labor market that will stay tight for years.

We work across nuclear, defense, and advanced manufacturing, as well as sectors like aerospace, automotive, and food production. Teams that use Laborup hire 5 to 10 times faster, see around 3 times better retention, and cut cost per hire by up to 50 to 70 percent. That turns into fewer empty shifts, fewer missed orders, more stable teams, and more capacity without more headache.

We are building the modern talent system for America’s industrial base with a simple long term goal: put a billion industrial workers to work in good jobs that matter.
