Manufacturing Operations Team Lead
Imagine Your Day
It’s 7:00 a.m. in Totowa, NJ. You walk the production floor, greeting operators as lines ramp up. You check yesterday’s output, scan through quality notes, and align the team on priorities. By mid-morning, you’ve rebalanced staffing to remove a bottleneck, coached a new hire through a setup, and coordinated with maintenance to avoid downtime. In the afternoon, you review safety observations, close out shift documentation, and highlight a process tweak that improves throughput for tomorrow.
What You’ll Lead
- Direct daily production activities to ensure targets are achieved safely, on time, and with high quality.
- Coach, train, and mentor production team members; build skills and hold high standards.
- Watch key processes and adjust resources or methods to maximize efficiency.
- Enforce safety practices and uphold quality expectations at every step.
- Partner with Quality, Engineering, and Supply Chain to resolve issues and streamline flow.
- Keep precise records and deliver clear updates and reports to leadership.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives that lift productivity and reduce waste.
What You Bring
- Demonstrated background leading production teams in a manufacturing setting.
- Proven people leadership and the ability to guide teams through change.
- Strong analytical approach, problem-solving acumen, and attention to detail.
- Working knowledge of production methods and quality control principles.
- Confident communicator—both written and verbal.
- Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment with shifting priorities.
- Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing, Engineering, or related field preferred.

This role is based at our Totowa, NJ facility. Multiple shift schedules are available.
