Primary Role

At Progressive Rubber Industries (PRI), the Shift Supervisor is responsible for overseeing and coordinating daily production activities across multiple departments (steel shop, rubber lining, sandblast & paint, and logistics). This role ensures that work is executed safely, on schedule, and to the highest quality standards, while fostering accountability, teamwork, and pride in workmanship.

Key Responsibilities

1. Leadership & Workforce Oversight

Provide direction and support to team leads and production crews across all active work centers. Ensure consistent application of PRI's core values: Safety ? Quality ? Productivity. Promote accountability at all levels -- ensuring instructions are understood, followed, and completed without ambiguity. Act as the escalation point for production issues, while maintaining alignment with managers and coordinators.
2. Safety & Compliance

Enforce PRI's safety standards and regulatory compliance across all departments. Conduct regular safety inspections, toolbox talks, and job hazard assessments. Ensure correct use of PPE, safe operation of equipment, and proper handling of materials. Stop unsafe practices immediately and implement corrective actions.
3. Quality Control

Coordinate with Quality Manager to ensure work in progress and completed tasks conform specifications, drawings, and PRI quality standards. Proactively address deficiencies and direct corrective actions to minimize rework. Ensure proper procedures are being followed for the task at hand. Reinforce standardization of workflows to drive consistency and reliability.
4. Planning & Coordination

Coordinate with the Operations Manager, Steel Shop Manager, Production Coordinator, and Logistics to align manpower and schedules. Ensure crews have the necessary materials, consumables, and equipment staged ahead of work. Assist in sequencing work orders to maintain flow between steel, rubber, and paint shops, avoiding bottlenecks. Support coordination with shipping for staging, packaging, and delivery readiness.
5. Productivity & Efficiency

Monitor labor allocation and efficiency across departments; reassign resources where needed to hit deadlines. Identify and reduce non-value-added tasks, downtime, or material handling delays. Encourage efficient practices without compromising quality or safety. Provide feedback to management on production targets, resource requirements, and overtime needs.
6. Communication & Reporting

Maintain daily logs of manpower, production progress, and incidents. Report schedule risks, quality concerns, or equipment issues to management with proposed solutions. Act as a direct communication link between crews and management, ensuring clarity and consistency.
