About the role

Job Description: We build protective packaging for aerospace, defense, and medical device customers — foam components, custom case inserts, and engineered wood crates. The work is precise, the customers are demanding, and the standards are high. We have been doing this for 30 years and we are very good at it. We are looking for an Operations Supervisor who can run a 25-person manufacturing division at a high level — someone who brings structure and process discipline without losing sight of the people doing the work. Safety first, quality second, on-time delivery third. That order never changes. What You’ll OwnThis role reports directly to the General Manager and is responsible for everything that happens on the production floor.
  • Daily production across all departments — foam fabrication, crate construction, kitting, and finishing
  • Safety outcomes for the division. The target is zero recordable injuries.
  • Quality at every stage of production. Our customers hold us to aerospace and defense standards and we hold ourselves to the same.
  • On-time delivery. You coordinate priorities, lead times, and capacity across departments and resolve bottlenecks before they affect the customer.
  • Culture. You build an environment where every person feels valued, heard, and trusted — and where they understand that the work they do matters.
  • The development of your Coaches and production staff. You set clear expectations and address issues directly and fairly.
  • Continuous improvement. You lead complex projects that drive lasting change, not just quick fixes.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
