POSITION OVERVIEW The Shift Supervisor is a front-line leadership role responsible for directing all assigned-shift production activities across Coastal Machine’s CNC turning, 3/4-axis, and 5-axis milling cells. This role is the primary point of accountability for shift safety, on-time delivery, quality compliance, and workforce performance. This is not a supervisory role in name only. The Shift Supervisor is expected to drive accountability, eliminate production constraints, develop cell leads, and serve as a key driver of the cultural and operational standards required to compete and win in aerospace and defense manufacturing. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Production Ownership & Throughput • Own shift OTD (On-Time Delivery) performance; hold cell leads accountable to daily and weekly output targets • Review the ProShop production schedule each morning; identify capacity gaps, tooling shortfalls, or material risks before they impact throughput • Monitor Datanomix utilization data in real time; intervene on underperforming cells and document corrective actions • Coordinate job sequencing with the scheduling team to maximize machine uptime and minimize queue time between operations • Ensure all jobs running on shift are properly set up, documented in ProShop, and traveler-compliant before cutting begins Quality & Compliance Leadership • Enforce AS9100 Rev D and ISO 9001 work instruction compliance on every job — no exceptions for schedule pressure • Ensure First Article Inspection (FAI) requirements are communicated to operators and CMM team before first-off parts are released • Review and sign off on non-conformance reports (NCRs); initiate corrective/preventive action (CAPA) where required • Champion FOD (Foreign Object Debris) awareness and control procedures, particularly on Space and Defense programs • Actively reinforce a “quality first” culture where operators are empowered to stop production rather than pass nonconforming parts Team Leadership & Workforce Development • Directly supervise Cell Leads across all CNC cells on assigned shift; conduct regular 1:1s and provide real-time performance coaching • Identify high-potential operators for advancement into Cell Lead or setup roles as the company scales through the growth plan • Conduct daily shift startup meetings: communicate schedule priorities, safety topics, and quality alerts • Hold team members accountable through consistent, documented performance feedback; escalate HR matters appropriately • Partner with the oncoming Shift Supervisor on handoff protocol — written shift reports, open job status, and tooling/material flags are non-negotiable Safety & Housekeeping • Lead daily 5S walkthrough and enforce shop floor housekeeping standards across all cells • Conduct or delegate weekly safety observations; ensure all incidents and near-misses are documented same-day • Verify all operators are using required PPE and are trained on machine-specific safety procedures • Participate in and support OSHA compliance reviews and safety audits Continuous Improvement • Identify and surface recurring production inefficiencies, setup bottlenecks, and machine downtime patterns to Engineering and Management • Lead or support Kaizen/improvement initiatives on the shop floor; document results and sustain gains • Participate in capacity planning discussions as Coastal Machine adds machines and headcount. • Provide direct input into tooling standardization, work instruction improvement, and ProShop workflow optimization REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS • 5+ years of hands-on CNC machining experience in a precision manufacturing environment (turning and/or milling) • 2+ years in a lead, supervisory, or senior operator role with direct people responsibility • Demonstrated ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and work instructions • Working knowledge of AS9100, API Q1, or ISO 9001 quality management requirements in a production setting • Proficient with ERP/MES systems for job tracking, scheduling, and documentation (ProShop experience a plus) • Strong communication skills — written and verbal — across operator, lead, and management levels • Track record of driving OTD, quality, and efficiency metrics on a production shift PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS • Direct experience in Aerospace, Defense, or Space manufacturing environments • Familiarity with ITAR-controlled environments and program documentation requirements • Experience with Datanomix or similar machine monitoring/OEE platforms • Background in 5-axis milling operations or complex turning cell supervision • Demonstrated experience coaching and developing frontline talent in a growth-stage shop Benefits: 100% Employer paid health insurance for employee 50% Employer paid health insurance for employee's family 3% Match on IRA 56 Hours of PTO to Start Dental, Vision, Life, Short-Term and Long Term Disability available 20% Premium for Weekend Shift Pay Hours - Friday, Saturday, Sunday - 12 Hours a Day - Paid For 40 hours
