This is an important role in the continued development of Steelwrist in the United States. The Manufacturing Supervisor will have day-to-day responsibility for Assembly, CNC Machining, and Warehouse operations, while working closely with the Production Manager to improve processes, develop the team, and support the continued growth of our U.S. manufacturing operation.

Support the implementation of digital tools, ERP processes, and improved production reporting.
Coordinate with quality, purchasing, order desk, support, and other functions to resolve issues and maintain production flow.
Support hiring, onboarding, training, and development of manufacturing employees.
Promote a strong culture of safety, teamwork, ownership, and problem solving.
We are looking for a practical leader who enjoys being close to the operation and the people doing the work.
You are someone who:
Leads by example and is comfortable spending time on the shop floor.
Can balance people leadership with daily production priorities.
Takes ownership and follows issues through to resolution.
Communicates clearly and builds trust across different teams and functions.
Is comfortable working in a growing environment where processes and responsibilities continue to develop.
Enjoys developing people and helping build a strong team.

Previous experience in a supervisory, team lead, or other manufacturing leadership role.
Strong understanding of daily production management, safety, quality, and workflow.
Experience with mechanical assembly, machining/CNC, or industrial manufacturing.
Experience with ERP systems and digital production tools.
Experience with Lean manufacturing, 5S, continuous improvement, or standardized work.
Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
Experience with warehouse operations, material flow, construction equipment, hydraulics, or growing manufacturing operations is considered a plus.
At Steelwrist, we value simplicity, responsiveness, and speed. We are a results-driven team that also believes in having fun while achieving success.
We value leaders who are visible, approachable, and willing to work closely with their teams. We encourage open discussion, new ideas, and continuous improvement, and we expect our leaders to create an environment where employees take ownership and contribute to the development of the operation.
