Quality Supervisor, Second Shift Manufacturing Operations

Schedule: Monday through Friday, 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM

Industry: Advanced Manufacturing and Production Quality

An established manufacturing operation is seeking a hands‑on Quality Supervisor to lead second shift quality performance and ensure production standards are consistently met. This role sits at the center of operational excellence, balancing team leadership, data analysis, and continuous improvement to protect product integrity and customer satisfaction.

You will guide a team of technicians, inspectors, and team leads while driving measurable improvements across manufacturing processes. This is an opportunity for someone who thrives in fast‑paced production environments and takes pride in building disciplined, data‑informed quality systems.

• Oversee daily activities of quality team leaders, technicians, and inspectors during second shift operations.
• Set clear expectations, align team goals with production targets, and ensure commitments are achieved.
• Foster a culture of accountability, engagement, and continuous improvement.
• Ensure smooth handoffs between shifts and maintain alignment with first shift quality initiatives.
• Communicate updates, priorities, and performance trends effectively across teams.

• Lead product and process verification activities to support ongoing change management efforts.
• Oversee designated manufacturing areas, ensuring compliance with established quality standards.
• Participate in internal and external audits, preparing documentation and supporting audit readiness.
• Apply lessons learned from previous shift improvements to strengthen second shift execution.

• Define key performance indicators and monitor quality metrics to assess process health.
• Analyze performance data to identify trends, risks, and improvement opportunities.
• Use statistical tools to support objective, data‑driven decision making.
• Create visual performance dashboards and reports that clearly communicate results.
• Conduct root cause investigations and document findings to improve long‑term quality performance.
• Implement corrective and preventive actions that eliminate repeat issues and strengthen process controls.

• Working knowledge of formal Quality Management Systems.
• Familiarity with core quality tools such as control plans, PFMEA, SPC, and related methodologies.
• Experience applying structured problem‑solving approaches in a manufacturing environment.

• Yellow Belt certification or equivalent exposure to Lean or Six Sigma methodologies.
• Understanding of welding processes and related quality considerations.
• Experience in regulated or high‑specification manufacturing industries.

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, or a related technical or scientific discipline preferred. Equivalent hands‑on experience in a manufacturing quality environment will also be considered.

Minimum of two years of relevant experience in manufacturing or quality roles required. Prior leadership or supervisory exposure in a production setting is highly valued.

You build a team that understands both the standards and the reasons behind them. Quality metrics improve steadily, issues are resolved at the root, and production runs with fewer disruptions. Communication between shifts is seamless, and improvement initiatives continue without losing momentum.

If you are motivated by measurable impact, strong team leadership, and driving continuous improvement on the manufacturing floor, this role offers the opportunity to shape second shift quality performance in a meaningful way.
