Team Lead-Production

Description

Job Description: Team Lead 

Classification: Non-Exempt

Reports To: Plant Manager 

Position Overview

The Team Lead provides hands-on leadership for an Alcrete production department or departments. The role is responsible for creating a respectful and safe workplace, developing team members, meeting daily production requirements, protecting product quality, solving problems, and maintaining an organized work area. Team Leads are typically responsible for 10-15 Team Members and should plan to spend approximately 20% of their time “hands-on” with the team.

Essential Functions and Responsibilities

· Create a workplace where every person is treated with dignity and respect. Communicate directly and professionally, listen to team member concerns, recognize contributions, and address disrespectful behavior promptly.

· Practice servant leadership by remaining visible and engaged on the production floor, setting clear expectations, removing barriers, providing the tools and support needed to succeed, and holding yourself accountable for the team’s performance.

· Create and maintain a safe work environment. Model and enforce safe work practices, required PPE, and company safety rules; correct unsafe conditions and behaviors immediately; stop work when necessary; and promptly report hazards, near misses, and incidents.

· Lead the department in completing the daily production schedule. Assign labor, communicate priorities, start and end production as scheduled, monitor progress throughout the shift, and manage overtime appropriately.

· Train, coach, and develop team members in standardized work, safe job methods, quality expectations, and equipment use. Work alongside the team when needed while maintaining responsibility for leading and coordinating the department.

· Build quality into every step of production. Confirm products meet approved drawings, specifications, and quality requirements; prevent defects from moving forward; and ensure nonconforming work is identified, contained, communicated, and corrected.

· Respond to production, safety, quality, and efficiency problems using structured problem solving. Identify root causes, involve the people closest to the work, implement practical corrective actions, verify results, and escalate issues that require additional support.

· Own the housekeeping, cleanliness, and organization of the department. Maintain 5S standards, designated storage locations, clear aisles and work areas, and an effective end-of-shift cleanup with specific accountability assigned to the team.

· Set and consistently enforce expectations for attendance, conduct, safety, quality, productivity, and housekeeping. Provide timely feedback, document coaching and corrective action, and administer or recommend disciplinary action in accordance with company policy.

· Communicate department needs and results to plant leadership, including staffing, supplies, tools, equipment concerns, schedule risks, safety issues, and quality concerns, and follow through until the team receives the support or direction required.

· Pursue continuous improvement in safety, quality, flow, productivity, and workplace organization, including improvements to department layout and work methods.

· Perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned.
