 The Opportunity 

The Day Supervisor is the senior on-site production leader during day-shift hours and the cross-shift continuity owner for plant operations. This role elevates beyond shift-level supervision by driving consistency, performance, and continuous improvement across all shifts; coaching and developing Shift Supervisors; and partnering directly with Plant Management, Engineering, Maintenance, EHS, and Quality to execute the production plan safely, reliably, and to specification.

The Day Supervisor is accountable for the daily execution of production goals (volume, yield, quality, cost, and safety), the development of front-line supervisors and operators, and the leadership of root-cause problem solving and operational excellence initiatives. While the Shift Supervisor leads a single crew, the Day Supervisor leads the production system - ensuring every shift starts strong, finishes clean, and operates to the same standard.

What You'll Do

Lead, Manage, Accountability

• Provide direct leadership and daily coaching to Shift Supervisors; set clear expectations, hold the team
• accountable, and reinforce a culture of ownership.
• Own the daily production plan: review the schedule, set priorities, allocate resources across shifts, and adjust staffing or sequencing to meet plant goals.
• Conduct daily production meetings, shift hand-off reviews, and tier huddles to align Operations, Maintenance, Quality, and EHS on the day's priorities and open issues.
• Lead complex troubleshooting alongside management and engineering; drive issues to resolution and remove barriers for the shift teams.
• Partner with Plant Management on workforce planning, overtime control, vacation coverage, and shift staffing balance.

Cross-Shift Coordination & Operational Continuity

• Own end-to-end shift continuity: ensure every shift starts with a clear plan, complete information, and a clean hand-off from the prior crew.
• Standardize hand-off documentation, shift logs, and turnover communication so issues, in-process work, and outstanding actions transfer cleanly between shifts.
• Audit shift execution for consistency - verify that all shifts run procedures, quality checks, sample frequency, housekeeping, and safety practices to the same standard.
• Resolve cross-shift conflicts (workload imbalance, recurring issues, communication gaps) and elevate systemic problems to Plant Management with proposed solutions.
• Maintain a single source of truth for production status, equipment availability, and outstanding work that Shift Supervisors and Plant Management can rely on.

Safety, Environmental & Quality Leadership

• Champion plant-wide safety culture; lead by example in PPE, LOTO, permit-to-work, and behavior-based safety expectations.
• Serve as Incident Commander during emergencies (injury, fire, gas release, spill) when on site; support and coach Shift Supervisors fulfilling this role on off-shifts.
• Issue and audit Safe Work and Hot Work Permits; verify LOTO is correct before signing and that work is complete before accepting return from Maintenance.
• Lead and participate in incident investigations and root cause analyses (RCA); ensure corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs) are implemented across all shifts.
• Ensure compliance with OSHA, EPA, DOT, PSM/RMP (where applicable), and all internal SOPs, environmental permits, and product quality specifications.
• Reinforce the Quality Management System (QMS); ensure non-conformances are documented, contained, and corrected; support continual improvement of the quality policy.
• Maintain organized, audit-ready work areas through 5S and visual management standards.

Process Improvement & Operational Excellence

• Identify, prioritize, and lead continuous improvement initiatives that drive measurable gains in safety, yield, throughput, quality, uptime, and cost.
• Apply Lean, Six Sigma, 5S, and Kaizen principles to eliminate waste, reduce variability, and standardize best practices across all shifts.
• Lead or co-lead structured problem-solving activities (5-Why, Fishbone, A3, RCA, CAPA) for chronic and high-impact issues.
• Track and review key performance indicators (KPIs) - safety, OEE, first-pass yield, schedule attainment, on-time shipment, downtime, scrap/rework - and drive corrective action where targets are missed.
• Partner with Engineering on capital projects, equipment upgrades, process changes, and management of change (MOC) reviews; provide operational input and lead operator readiness.
• Sponsor or lead at least one major improvement project per year with documented financial or operational impact.

Talent Development & Supervisor Coaching

• Coach, develop, and mentor Shift Supervisors; build their leadership, troubleshooting, communication, and decision-making capability.
• Build a strong supervisor bench: identify high-potential operators, build individual development plans, and create a clear path from Operator ? Lead ? Shift Supervisor.
• Lead and standardize the operator training program (qualification matrices, on-the-job training, sign-offs) so capability is consistent across shifts.
• Conduct or contribute to performance evaluations for Shift Supervisors and provide input on operator evaluations; deliver constructive, timely feedback.
• Address performance and conduct issues fairly and consistently; counsel, coach, and partner with HR on progressive discipline when needed.
• Recognize strong performance and reinforce behaviors that align with company values, safety, and quality expectations.

Production Execution & Plant Rounds

• Make complete plant rounds daily; verify safe work practices, procedural compliance, equipment condition, and housekeeping standards in every operating area.
• Set lab testing priorities to ensure operations needs are met without delaying production or shipments.
• Verify accurate inventory transfers in the company system using digital handheld units; reconcile discrepancies and ensure inventory integrity.
• Verify railcars and bulk shipments are properly secured and placarded prior to release; ensure rail car log sheets and shipping documentation are accurate and current.
• Anticipate operational risks (weather, raw material availability, equipment condition, staffing) and develop contingency plans with Shift Supervisors.

Communication, Reporting & Stakeholder Partnership

• Prepare and deliver clear daily, weekly, and monthly production reports to Plant Management; translate shift-level data into actionable insight.
• Communicate plant priorities, performance, and changes to all shifts so every team has the same information.
• Build strong working relationships across Engineering, Maintenance, Quality, EHS, Lab, Logistics, Planning, and HR; remove silos and drive joint problem-solving.
• Represent Production in plant leadership meetings, audits (internal, customer, regulatory), and customer or supplier visits as needed.

Requirements

 Education & Experience 

• High school diploma or GED required; Associate's degree or technical certification in Chemical Process Technology, Industrial Technology, or related field strongly preferred.
• Minimum 8-10 years of progressive experience in chemical manufacturing, production, or process operations.
