Job Description

Production Supervisor

1st Shift | Start Time: 6:00am
Typically 10–12 Hour Days
$70,000 Salary
Milford, IN | Food Processing Facility

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Production Supervisor for a stable, locally owned company that has been in business for nearly 70 years — without layoffs or downsizing.

This role supports a food processing operation and is focused less on “standing over production” and more on leading people, building accountability, and developing a strong team culture.

You’ll oversee a team of approximately 25 employees, supported by two experienced line leads who help drive production and daily workflow. This allows the supervisor to focus heavily on:

• Employee development
• Training and accountability
• Attendance management
• Communication and team leadership

If you’re someone who leads by being present, organized, and consistent — this is a strong long-term opportunity.

Schedule & Compensation

• 1st Shift
• Start time around 6:00am
• Typical workdays run 10–12 hours
• $70,000 salary

What You’ll Be Doing

Team Leadership & Accountability

• Lead and support a production team of approximately 25 employees
• Ensure employees are properly trained and following procedures
• Monitor attendance and address performance concerns appropriately
• Hold employees accountable while maintaining a respectful team environment
• Support employee development and growth

Production & Operations Support

• Work alongside line leads to help maintain production flow
• Communicate with multiple departments to support daily operations
• Assist in resolving production issues and operational challenges
• Ensure production processes are completed safely and efficiently

Administrative & Process Responsibilities

• Track production-related information and employee documentation
• Assist with scheduling, staffing, and manpower coordination
• Support hiring, onboarding, and disciplinary processes with HR involvement
• Reinforce safety, sanitation, and operational procedures

What We’re Looking For

• Previous leadership or supervisory experience in manufacturing or food production
• Ability to lead people and hold employees accountable professionally
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced production environment
• Reliable, team-oriented leadership style

Nice to Have

• Food processing or production experience
• Experience managing attendance, training, and employee development
• Bilingual communication skills

What Matters Most

• Leadership through consistency and accountability
• Ability to build trust with employees while maintaining standards
• Strong attendance and dependability
• Team-oriented mindset

This role is best suited for someone who enjoys developing people and creating structure within a production environment.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Nearly 70 years in business with no layoffs
• Family-oriented culture where employees support one another
• Stable, long-term opportunity with a growing organization
• Leadership role with strong operational support already in place
• Opportunity to make a direct impact on team culture and development

Benefits & Perks

• Benefits eligible after 60 days
• Generous attendance and time-off policies
• Strong bereavement and parental leave (paternity/maternity) offerings
• Stable company with long-tenured employees

Work Environment

• Active food processing facility
• Fast-paced production environment
• Leadership role involving both floor presence and administrative responsibilities
• Cold, wet, and industrial conditions may be present depending on area

The Bottom Line

If you’re a production leader who values accountability, team development, and long-term stability — this is a strong opportunity to join a company where people tend to stay for the long haul.
