About the Role

MAKS is seeking a highly organized, hands-on Production Supervisor to help oversee and coordinate our day-to-day production floor operations in our fast-paced automotive electronics remanufacturing facility. This role is responsible for helping ensure orders move efficiently through production, priorities are communicated clearly, turnaround times are met, and technicians have the support and accountability needed to keep operations running smoothly. The ideal candidate is not afraid to jump into the day-to-day operation, assist where needed, solve problems in real time, and help create structure in a growing production environment. This role will also play an important part in developing production planning processes, improving workflow efficiency, and helping build scalable operational systems that support on-time delivery and sustainable growth. This is a highly visible, floor-focused role that requires urgency, adaptability, strong communication, operational ownership, and a continuous improvement mindset. This is not a purely strategic or desk-based management role. We are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, hands-on environment and can help bring organization, accountability, and operational efficiency to a growing operation.

• Strong organizational and prioritization skills
• Continuous improvement mindset with the ability to identify inefficiencies and implement practical solutions
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, evolving environment with shifting priorities
• Hands-on mentality with willingness to actively support floor operations when needed
• Strong communication, accountability, and problem-solving skills
