Production Supervisor at Base Power · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

Base is looking for an experienced Production Supervisor to help lead our growing manufacturing team. As one of our first supervisors, you will play a key role in establishing the culture for our production floor and ensuring we hit our ambitious growth targets.
We are looking for a people-first leader who cares about quality, safety, and scale. You will be responsible for guiding a team of Production Associates, helping them succeed in their daily tasks, and ensuring we build our battery systems to the highest standards. You will work closely with engineering and warehouse teams to maximize output and ensure we successfully hit our production ramp plan.
Support Your Team: Create a positive, safe, and productive work environment. You are there to remove roadblocks for your team and help them succeed.
Set the Tone: Model the "Base Pace"—working efficiently and with purpose—while ensuring that safety and respect are always the top priority.
Communication: Act as the main link between the production floor and management. You’ll make sure your team understands the “why” and that their feedback is heard by the wider company.
Maintain Standards: Ensure every product leaving your line meets our quality specifications. You’ll help the team understand why quality matters, not just how to do the task.
Root Cause Analysis: Lead investigations (like the "5 Whys") when issues arise to ensure they don't happen twice. Preventing defects will improve our product and keep pace for our ambitious ramp plan.
Organization (5S): Champion a clean and organized workspace. A high-output line requires an orderly environment to function at peak capacity.
Maximize Throughput: You and your team are responsible for hitting daily and weekly production targets. You’ll monitor the line constantly to identify bottlenecks and re-allocate resources to keep the product moving.
Execute the Ramp: Work hand-in-hand with leadership to execute our production ramp plan. You’ll ensure the team is prepared for increased volumes and that new processes are integrated seamlessly without losing momentum.
Continuous Improvement: Look for ways to shave minutes off cycle times and reduce waste. You’ll drive efficiency using Lean principles to ensure we are getting the most out of every shift. Establish safe work arounds to ensure product continues to be produced.
Onboarding & Mentorship: You will personally oversee the training and certification of new Production Associates, ensuring they are "ramp-ready" and capable of high-quality work.
