Day Shift Supervisor

Overview

Storion Energy manufactures long-duration vanadium redox flow battery electrolyte at our Alpharetta, Georgia facility, and is expanding the site to include stack manufacturing. The Day Shift Supervisor leads the day-shift production team — accountable for safe execution of the daily schedule, the quality of what the shift produces, and the development of the operators and technicians who make it.

We are looking for a working supervisor — on the floor, running the process, coaching operators, and solving problems as they happen — who wants to grow with the site as we add new products, process', and requirements

 

This position requires you to be on-site daily in our Alpharetta, GA, facility.

Responsibilities

SHIFT EXECUTION & PRODUCTION

• Run the daily production schedule: sequence work, assign staffing and equipment, and adjust in real time to keep the shift on plan.
• Own throughput, yield, and schedule attainment for the shift. Escalate deviations with a clear picture of cause and impact.
• Lead structured shift start-up and handoff — documented every day, covering equipment status, open issues, and in-process material.
• Keep production, downtime, and consumption records accurate and entered on shift, not after the fact.
• Take on stack assembly as the site expands — help stand up the line and supervise both electrolyte and stack production.

QUALITY & PRODUCTION DISCIPLINE

• Verify production records are complete, legible, and accurate before material moves. No shortcuts on documentation.
• Ensure in-process checks and sampling happen per procedure, at the right point in the process, by qualified operators.
• Identify, segregate, and hold nonconforming material; preserve lot traceability at every transfer.
• Hold the shift to written SOPs; flag procedures that no longer match reality so they get corrected.

SAFETY LEADERSHIP

• Run the pre-shift safety brief and regular toolbox talks — set the tone in the first ten minutes.
• Enforce PPE discipline in acid and vanadium-bearing service — no exceptions for convenience or schedule pressure.
• Report and investigate near-misses and incidents on shift. Act as first responder for spills and exposures.
• Hold the shift accountable for housekeeping and equipment condition.

INVENTORY, SHIPPING & RECEIVING

• Own inventory accuracy for raw materials, consumables, and finished product — cycle counts, transactions recorded on shift, and discrepancies investigated.
• Receive inbound materials: verify quantity and documentation against the PO, inspect for damage, and stage or quarantine appropriately.
• Prepare and ship outbound orders — pick and stage product, confirm labeling and paperwork, and coordinate carriers.
• Ensure hazardous material shipments are packaged, labeled, and documented to DOT requirements.
• Flag shortages and reorder points before they interrupt production.

PEOPLE & DEVELOPMENT

• Train, coach, and qualify operators against the training matrix; sign off on qualifications only when the operator can actually do the job unsupervised.
• Onboard new hires — pair them well, check in often, and get them productive without cutting corners on safety training.
• Own day-to-day timekeeping, attendance, and PTO coverage for the shift.
• Give direct, timely feedback. Escalate performance and personnel matters to the Director early, with documentation.

MAINTENANCE & IMPROVEMENT

• First-line troubleshooting on process issues. Develop a knowledge of when to fix it and when to call for help.
• Coordinate with engineering on preventive work and breakdowns.
• Participate in root-cause investigations and see corrective actions through on the floor.
• Drive shift-level improvements — 5S, standard work, and small changes that make the next shift's job easier.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED required. Associate degree, technical certificate, or military technical training a plus.
• 5+ years in chemical, industrial, or process manufacturing, including 2+ years leading a crew as a supervisor, lead operator, or shift lead.
• Hands-on experience handling hazardous or corrosive chemicals with the required PPE and permitting discipline.
• Working knowledge of OSHA general industry requirements — lockout/tagout, hazard communication, confined space, and PPE.
• Comfortable with batch records, SOPs, and shop-floor data entry; solid basic computer proficiency.
• Forklift experience required; current certification or ability to certify on hire.
• Able to read P&IDs and work confidently around pumps, tanks, valves, and instrumentation.

PREFERRED

• Experience at a startup or ramping facility, where procedures are still being written and new lines are being added.
• OSHA 30 (General Industry), HAZWOPER training, or current first aid / CPR certification.
• Exposure to lean, 5S, or structured continuous-improvement methods.
• Familiarity with SCADA or plant data systems for production entry and monitoring.
• Experience supervising assembly or discrete manufacturing in addition to process or batch production.
• Bilingual English / Spanish.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

• On-site at the Alpharetta facility with the majority of the shift spent on the production floor in PPE — acid-resistant clothing, face shield, and respirator as required.
• Exposure to chemical odors and noise; occasional lifting up to 25 lbs. Must be medically cleared for respirator use.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• 401(k)
• Paid time off
• Dental insurance
• Medical, Vision, Dental (Company paid premiums)
• Life, LTD, STD, dependent care FSA
