Lead Hand - Die Cutting/Stamping Department

This person will take on the supervisory and administrative duties on the AFTERNOON SHIFT. Some flexibility with schedule is required as the manager for the department will occasionally require coverage on the day shift in rare cases where he is absent.

Applicants being considered will have 3-5 years of experience leading teams (team lead, lead hand, or supervisory position) in an industrial setting, preferably in a production-focused and moderately automated facility. They will also boast experience and confidence with monitoring health and safety compliance, tracking inventory, submitting purchase order requests, performing regular end-product quality audits, and acting as a mediator for any ground level employee disputes. Proficiency with computers and ability to pick up new software with relative ease is also required, as everything in the facility from employee time cards, to inventory management, to order requests, to production planning, and much more is all run through a dedicated software program.

This role is primarily focused on employee oversight and administrative duties related to production. The successful candidate will not be required to perform regular production tasks.

It is noteworthy that company fills as many management positions internally as possible, and securing the Lead Hand title is a great place to start on your journey towards a managerial role.

The successful applicant will be required to undergo a medical assessment and colour hue test, as well as agree to a criminal background check. The results of these tests/checks must come back as satisfactory in order to secure this position.
