Lead the pace of a continuous metals operation
When the lights glow and the lines hum, you are the anchor. From clock-in at 6:00 PM to the 6:00 AM handoff, you own the overnight production story—coordinating people, equipment, and priorities across 1–2 production lines, two slitter lines, and the downstream flow through packaging, shipping, and receiving. You set the tone for safety, quality, and delivery, keeping the plant moving and the team growing.

A night in the role
You arrive with a plan—production schedules aligned, staffing set, priorities clear. As orders run, you balance throughput with quality, adjust for changeovers, and keep customer commitments front and center. You coach operators on best practices, approve timecards, track attendance, complete performance feedback and reviews, and handle corrective actions when needed. When issues arise, you partner closely with Maintenance and Quality to troubleshoot, reduce downtime, and stabilize the process.
