About the Role
As the Production Supervisor for Large Generator Rotor Operations, you’ll lead a skilled team of machinists, rotor winders, rotor assemblers, and balancers to manufacture and service large generator rotors. You’ll begin each day by arriving an hour before shift start to complete a handoff with the outgoing supervisor, review current production status versus the schedule, and set priorities and work assignments. At the start of the shift, you’ll huddle with the team to review a safety topic in support of our Zero Harm culture, align on production status, communicate assignments, and confirm shift goals. Throughout the day, you’ll model servant leadership by removing obstacles, stepping in to support production when needed, and coaching employees. You’ll actively monitor performance and make real-time adjustments to manpower and priorities to keep work on plan—ultimately ensuring your area meets productivity targets and aligns with the production plan.
