  • Distribute work, monitor second shift production, and discuss requirements and priorities with the team.
  • Follow and enforce metal shop safety protocols and PPE requirements.

Shift Lead Responsibilities
  • Provide leadership and day-to-day guidance for the second shift crew across both woodshop and metal shop.
  • Assign tasks, monitor workflow, and keep production moving toward shift goals.

Qualifications
CNC Experience (Required)
  • Solid hands-on experience programming and operating CNC machines - this is the core of the role.
  • CNC background may come from a woodworking or metal shop environment; metal shop CNC experience is especially valued given the cross-departmental nature of this position.

  • Strong communication skills; able to give clear direction, flag issues to management, and keep a team on track.

Metal Shop (Plus)
  • Some experience in a metal shop environment is a plus - familiarity with metal fabrication equipment, processes, and quality standards.
  • Prior CNC experience from a metal background count toward the CNC requirement above and is especially valued here.

General
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to meet quality standards consistently.
  • Comfortable with lifting and handling heavy materials.
