Expeditor Supervisor

Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state‑of‑the‑art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.

The Expeditor Supervisor will oversee day‑to‑day expediting and production control activities across the manufacturing floor. This role is responsible for ensuring work flows efficiently through production by actively prioritizing jobs, identifying and root‑causing production blockers, and driving timely resolution of material, engineering, and execution constraints. This role provides floor‑level leadership for the expediting function and serves as the primary interface between production, engineering, and supply chain.

The Expeditor Supervisor is expected to use data analytics, MRP systems, and real‑time floor visibility to maintain schedule adherence, ensure efficient material movement, and reduce execution risk.

• Leadership & Team Management
• Supervise and mentor a team of expeditors and production control personnel
• Establish clear expectations around prioritization, escalation, and communication
• Train and develop team members in expediting and production control best practices
• Evaluate performance, set standards, and conduct regular feedback and assessments
• Foster a culture of accountability, urgency, and continuous improvement
• Expediting & Production Control Oversight
• Own daily production priorities and expediting execution across manufacturing areas
• Utilize MRP and production control systems to ensure accurate material visibility, readiness, and movement
• Coordinate expediting activities to resolve material shortages, kitting gaps, and readiness issues
• Balance competing priorities using data‑driven decision making to maintain flow and meet delivery timelines
• Partner with Production Supervisors to align floor execution with production priorities
• Ensure handoffs between production areas are planned, tracked, and executed
• Operational Execution & Root Cause Analysis
• Track WIP, constraints, and schedule adherence across production stages
• Identify bottlenecks, aging WIP, material shortages, and at‑risk builds
• Root cause production blockers related to material availability, engineering holds, capacity, or process gaps
• Drive issue resolution through coordination with engineering, supply chain, and production leadership
• Provide clear, concise daily status updates on production health, risks, and mitigation actions
• Maintain execution discipline during changing priorities or disruptions
• KPI & Performance Management
• Own and maintain KPIs for expediting and production control effectiveness
• Leverage data analytics to evaluate performance, identify trends, and drive continuous improvement
• Track and report on metrics such as:
• Schedule adherence
• WIP aging
• Expedite effectiveness
• Material readiness and shortages
• Engineering hold time
• Use data to support prioritization decisions and improve execution outcomes
• Identify systemic issues impacting throughput, material flow, and delivery performance
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration
• Work closely with Production Supervisors to ensure alignment between plan and execution
• Partner with engineering teams to understand and mitigate production impacts of changes
• Coordinate with supply chain to align material availability with production needs
• Support leadership in resource planning to meet weekly and monthly delivery objectives
• Provide feedback on process, flow, and execution challenges

• Bachelor’s degree in manufacturing, industrial engineering, operations, supply chain, or related field preferred (or equivalent experience)
• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing operations, expediting, production control, or supply chain execution
• Prior experience leading or supervising expediting, production control or operations teams
• Strong experience using MRP systems to manage material flow, priorities, and readiness
• Demonstrated ability to use data analytics to drive decisions and identify root causes of execution issues
• Strong understanding of manufacturing flow, constraints, and execution tradeoffs
• Experience working closely with engineering and supply chain teams
• Proven ability…
