**Wage**: $26-28/hour (based on experience)

**About Us**

Sheldon Creek Dairy is a family-owned dairy manufacturing facility producing high-quality farm-fresh dairy products. We operate in a fast-paced, hands-on environment where teamwork, accountability, and pride in production matter. We are looking for a Production Supervisor who is a doer—someone who leads from the floor, gets things done, and brings people along with them.

**Position Overview**

The Production Supervisor is a hands-on working leader responsible for keeping daily production running efficiently, on time, and to standard. This role requires someone who is equally comfortable running production lines, guiding staff, problem-solving on the fly, and holding the team accountable.

80% of the time you will be on the floor, anticipating issues, keeping production moving, and ensuring the team knows what’s next at all times. 20% will be computer work.

**Key Responsibilities**

**Production & Efficiency**
- Oversee daily production activities to ensure schedules are met on time and in full
- Closely monitor production efficiencies, downtime, and labour use
- Push production forward by keeping the team focused, on task, and moving to the next step without delays
- Think ahead in the process to prevent bottlenecks, shortages, or idle time
- Ensure products are produced safely, accurately, and to quality standards

**Team Leadership**
- Lead by example with a strong “get it done” attitude
- Build and motivate a productive, accountable team culture
- Clearly communicate priorities, expectations, and next steps throughout the day
- Redirect staff when needed to keep production on track
- Train, coach, and support operators on equipment and processes
- Foster entrepreneurial thinking—encouraging efficiency, ownership, and continuous improvement

**Hands-On Production Support**
- Actively assist in running production lines as needed
- Step in to troubleshoot issues, relieve bottlenecks, or support short staffing
- Be mechanically aware and capable of identifying basic equipment issues
- Work closely with management to improve systems, flow, and output

**Safety & Standards**
- Ensure all SOPs, food safety, sanitation, and safety protocols are followed
- Maintain a clean, organized, and efficient production environment
- Lead by example in safety, cleanliness, and professionalism

**What We’re Looking For**
- Proven experience in food production or manufacturing (dairy experience an asset)
- A hands-on doer who leads from the floor, not the sidelines
- Strong mechanical aptitude and comfort around production equipment
- Natural team leader with the ability to motivate and hold people accountable
- Organized thinker who plans ahead and anticipates challenges
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, physically active environment
- Strong communication skills and a problem-solving mindset

**Why This Role Matters**

This role is critical to keeping production flowing smoothly. The Production Supervisor sets the tone on the floor—driving efficiency, teamwork, accountability, and pride in output every single day.
