Manufacturing Operations Supervisor - Production - Night Shift

Position Overview

International Motors is seeking a motivated and results-driven Manufacturing Operations Production Supervisor to lead daily production operations in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. This position plays a critical role in ensuring employee safety, maintaining production efficiency, and achieving operational goals related to quality, delivery, and cost.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong leadership, effective communication, and the ability to manage a represented workforce while promoting accountability, teamwork, and continuous improvement.

As International Motors continues to grow in San Antonio, we are expanding our production operations with the introduction of a night production shift. The night shift is Monday through Thursday from 5:30 PM to 4:00 AM, with production planned to begin in early 2027. This is a salaried position supporting a manufacturing operation. While the primary schedule aligns with the designated production shift, employees are expected to provide operational support as needed to meet business objectives. This may require working outside normal production hours, including extended shifts, production startup activities, recovery efforts, and occasional weekend support based on operational requirements.
