West Palm Beach, Florida, United States Laticrete International Full time
Own the handoff. Elevate the output. Lead the team.

Are you the leader who can keep a plant humming—materials stocked, lines running, quality locked, and people engaged? If so, this role is your arena.

Your mission

Guard the production heartbeat from start to finish: anticipate material needs, coordinate the plan, maintain order and cleanliness, enable a seamless shift-to-shift transition, and ensure every unit meets spec while your team grows under your leadership.

Core impact areas
  • Floor Supervision (35%): Review silo and raw material levels to confirm bulks for the shift; align the production schedule with the Planner; walk the lines to verify tools, work orders, and PPE are all set.
  • Housekeeping (5%): Drive 5S-style cleanliness—sweep, vacuum, clear packaging debris, and ensure equipment cleaning; verify dust collector drums are emptied.
  • Staging & Shift Handoff (5%): Lead the shift meeting; stage materials for the next crew to reduce downtime; issue a shift summary (productivity, downtime, quality concerns), and email the summary at shift end.
  • Quality Control (5%): Use in-date materials per formula; collect QC samples and adjust batches per results; confirm final products meet specification.
  • Equipment & Materials (5%): Escalate maintenance issues, shortages, and repair needs immediately.
  • Leadership (25%): Represent Production cross-functionally; approve timecards and time off; prioritize and allocate work; recruit, manage, and develop plant staff; partner with the Production Manager for peak throughput; assess and reward performance; build team culture; communicate and motivate.
What you bring
  • 5+ years of plant experience.
  • Comfort with math for basic formula weights.
  • Ability to read/interpret directions and order details.
  • Strong written and verbal communication.
  • Proficiency with plant equipment or equivalent experience.
