Lead Production in a High-Precision Metal Stamping Environment

Step into a hands-on leadership role guiding a multi-shift manufacturing team that cuts, forms, stamps, welds, and assembles products to meet customer demand. You’ll orchestrate material replenishment, keep finished goods moving into inventory, and ensure people, processes, and priorities align to deliver safe, high-quality results.

• Maintain a safe, orderly floor that achieves high productivity without compromising quality or safety.
• Enter daily employee paperwork (labor, scrap, SPC) into the labor reporting system with accuracy and timeliness.
• Oversee material replenishment so work centers stay supplied; ensure finished goods are moved into inventory promptly.
• Report production activity and results to management; communicate issues, risks, and improvements.
• Reinforce company initiatives by upholding organizational standards and policies.
• Analyze operating practices, record-keeping, and controls to help create and sustain robust processes and procedures.
• Apply Lean Manufacturing tools (e.g., 5S, visual management, root-cause problem solving) to drive productivity and continuous improvement.
• Respond quickly to requests from other departments and collaborate to meet shared goals.
