Stramit is looking for a hands-on Day Shift Supervisor to join our manufacturing team. This is a key leadership role for someone who’s not afraid to get on the floor, lead from the front, and keep things running smoothly between the team and the Production Manager.

You’ll lead a crew of around 30 people on day shift (roughly 5:00–6:00am start through to 2:30–3:30pm) and play a big part in making sure the day runs safely, efficiently, and gets the job done right.

About the role:

As Day Shift Supervisor, you’ll be responsible for how the shift performs day-to-day – from output and safety through to supporting your team. You’ll be out on the floor, keeping things on track and stepping in when needed.

Driving a strong safety culture and making sure procedures are followed
Looking for ways to improve how things are done on shift
Managing breakdowns, shortages, and day-to-day challenges on the floor
Handing over clearly to the afternoon shift at the end of the day
Jumping in and helping out on the tools when needed

About you:

You’re a practical, straight-talking leader with solid experience in manufacturing. You know how to get the best out of people, keep things running, and handle pressure when things don’t go to plan.

You will bring:

3–5 years’ experience leading teams in a manufacturing environment
Proven ability to lead and manage large teams
Strong communication skills and confidence to have tough conversations when needed
Good people skills and the ability to build respect across the team
Experience working with KPIs and delivering results
A strong focus on safety and doing things the right way
Solid understanding of manufacturing processes (experience with roll formed steel is a bonus)
