Shop Supervisor

Full-Time | Day Shift

The Role

We are looking for a hands-on Shop Supervisor to take ownership of the daily flow of a fabrication shop.

This person will coordinate material receiving, fabrication priorities, staging, deliveries, equipment readiness, and the work of shop employees. This is not a desk-only management position. The right candidate will lead the shop, establish priorities, hold employees accountable, and work alongside the team when needed.

Industry-specific experience is valuable, but strong leadership, organization, urgency, and follow-through are equally important.

What You Will Own

• Set daily priorities for shop fabrication, material staging, shipping, receiving, and deliveries

• Coordinate with project managers to ensure materials are ready when field crews need them

• Lead, train, and hold shop employees accountable for safety, quality, productivity, and organization

• Maintain an accurate and organized inventory and material staging system

• Identify shortages, damaged material, missing information, and schedule risks before they become field problems

• Coordinate the use and basic maintenance of shop equipment, forklifts, trailers, and fleet vehicles

• Assist with fabrication activities as needed

• Maintain a clean, safe, and professional shop environment

• Improve shop processes and reduce wasted time, lost materials, and preventable delays

• Communicate clearly when priorities conflict or additional decisions are needed

• Daily shop priorities are clear

• Materials are staged accurately and on time

• Shipping and receiving are organized

• Shop employees understand expectations and ownership

• Equipment and fleet needs are identified before they interrupt work

• Project managers receive dependable updates

• Fewer field delays are caused by missing, damaged, or incomplete materials

Qualifications

• Two or more years of leadership experience in construction, manufacturing, fabrication, warehouse operations, logistics, or a related environment

• Proven ability to organize daily work and manage competing priorities

• Comfortable giving direct feedback and holding employees accountable

• Strong communication and follow-through

• Comfortable using computers, mobile devices, and basic production tracking systems

• Experience using power tools, fabrication equipment, forklifts, or warehouse equipment

• Ability to read shop drawings, fabrication sheets, measurements, and material lists

• Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record

• Ability to lift up to 70 pounds

• Commercial glass, storefront, curtain wall, door, or metal fabrication experience is preferred but not required

Benefits

• Health insurance

• Dental insurance

• Vision insurance

• 401(k) matching

• Paid time off

• Boot reimbursement

• Opportunities for advancement

• Full-time, year-round work

• Primarily climate-controlled shop environment

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a hands-on leader who can balance people management, production priorities, material coordination, and day-to-day shop operations.

We are looking for someone who takes ownership, communicates clearly, follows through on commitments, and can keep a busy shop organized and productive.
