·       Lead and support first-shift production teams to meet daily production goals while maintaining compliance with quality and regulatory requirements

·       Ensure strict adherence to documented procedures, work instructions, and traceability requirements

·       Monitor production flow and material availability, addressing issues proactively and escalating appropriately when needed

·       Address performance or conduct issues respectfully, firmly, and in alignment with company values


What We’re Looking For

·       Experience in regulated manufacturing environments (medical device experience strongly preferred)

·       Strong understanding of quality systems, documentation requirements, and process discipline

·       Ability to work independently and make sound decisions without constant oversight

·       Proven ability to troubleshoot problems thoughtfully rather than react impulsively

·       Leadership style that balances accountability with respect and professionalism

·       Clear, direct communicator who can set expectations and follow through consistently

·       Comfortable using ERP/MRP systems and basic production reporting tools

·       Availability to work 1st shift consistently, with flexibility for frequent overtime


What Success Looks Like in This Role

·       Production goals are met without compromising quality or compliance

·       Documentation and traceability are accurate, complete, and audit-ready

·       Issues are identified early and resolved effectively using sound judgment

·       The team feels supported, respected, and clear on expectations

·       The shift operates smoothly, safely, and with minimal escalation


What We Offer

  • $21 – $27 hourly rate based on real results and experience
  • Full benefits (health, dental, PTO)
  • The autonomy to run your shift as you own it, as long as the numbers and quality are perfect
