Job Description
Job DescriptionProduction Supervisor
Every window that leaves the floor has to meet a higher standard than “good enough.” As Production Supervisor, you will turn that standard into daily output: safe crews, stable processes, and products that hold energy performance, fit, and finish. This role sits where quality, throughput, and people meet—and where a strong shift can protect both the customer and the plant.
Performance Objectives
- Run the assigned shift so scheduled units ship on time, with first-pass yield and scrap held to agreed targets.
- Staff, train, and coach production teams so attendance, skill coverage, and output stay stable without overtime becoming the plan.
- Hold safety as a production result: close hazards the same shift, keep incident rates down, and make standard work the normal way to run.
- Catch quality escapes at the line—dimensions, glass, hardware, and finish—and drive root-cause fixes with maintenance and quality before they repeat.
- Balance labor, materials, and machine time so changeovers, glass, and assembly stay in sync and downtime is explained, not accepted.
- Give clear shift handoffs and daily performance facts so the next crew and plant leadership can act without a meeting to decode the floor.
Environment & Resources
You will lead hourly production teams on an integrated window and door line—from fabrication and glass through assembly and pack-out—inside a multi-plant manufacturing operation. You will work with maintenance, quality, scheduling, and materials, and report to plant or production leadership. Tools include production schedules, quality and safety systems, and standard work; you will have authority to stop unsafe or out-of-spec work and to reassign labor within the shift plan.
Essential Qualifications
- Proven supervision of a manufacturing shift, including staffing, coaching, and holding people to output and quality goals.
- Hands-on experience in fabrication, assembly, or glass-related production, with the ability to read a schedule and a process and see what is off.
- A record of improving safety, scrap, or on-time completion—not just reporting the numbers.
- Clear communication with operators, leads, and other departments, including written shift reports that drive action.
- Comfort with basic production metrics, problem-solving, and fair, consistent accountability.
Role Selling Points
- Lead real product, not a support function: energy-efficient vinyl and aluminum windows and doors built for residential, commercial, and institutional work.
- Work in a vertically integrated plant where extrusion, fabrication, glass, and assembly sit close enough that your decisions show up in the finished unit.
- Join a scaled manufacturer with room to grow skills across plants, products, and leadership—not a single-line shop with a fixed ceiling.
- Shape how quality and green manufacturing actually run on the floor, backed by in-house engineering and test capability.
Call to Action
If you can run a shift that is safer, cleaner, and more predictable than the one you inherited, apply. Bring examples of what you improved and how you led the people who made it happen.
