Remote Night‑Shift Production Maintenance Supervisor – Leadership Role in High‑Speed Manufacturing Equipment Upkeep & Safety

About Workwarp – Pioneering Remote‑First Manufacturing Excellence

Workwarp is a fast‑growing, technology‑driven manufacturing partner that delivers end‑to‑end solutions for companies across the automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods sectors. By leveraging a remote‑first strategy, we empower top talent to drive world‑class production performance from anywhere, while maintaining the highest standards of safety, quality, and efficiency. Our culture is built on trust, continuous improvement, and a shared passion for making complex operations run smoother, faster, and more sustainably. As a Remote Night‑Shift Production Maintenance Supervisor, you will be at the heart of this transformation, leading a skilled team of mechanics and electricians who keep critical equipment humming through the night.

Why This Role Is a Game‑Changer

This is not a typical “maintenance” job. You will be the first line of leadership for a high‑energy, 24‑hour production environment, ensuring that every piece of equipment operates at peak performance during the critical night shift. You’ll shape safety culture, drive cost‑effective maintenance strategies, and collaborate cross‑functionally with risk management, internal audit, HR, and external vendors. If you thrive on solving complex problems, mentoring technical teams, and delivering measurable improvements to key performance indicators (KPIs) such as Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), this role offers an unparalleled platform for impact.

Key Responsibilities – Your Day‑to‑Day Impact

• Leadership & Team Development: Staff, train, supervise, evaluate, and develop a diverse team of mechanics and electricians, providing coaching that accelerates technical competency and career growth.
• Preventive & Predictive Maintenance Management: Design, schedule, and execute comprehensive preventative maintenance (PM) programs that align with production schedules, reducing unplanned downtime by at least 15% within the first six months.
• Equipment Performance Optimization: Monitor equipment health metrics, diagnose recurring faults, and implement corrective actions that improve line efficiencies and meet or exceed OEE targets.
• Safety & Compliance Stewardship: Enforce Company Safety policies, ensure proper personal protective equipment (PPE) usage, conduct regular safety briefings, and lead emergency evacuation drills for the night shift.
• Facility Inspections & Hazard Mitigation: Perform routine facility walkthroughs, document findings, and drive timely resolutions to any safety or operational issues identified.
• Budget & Inventory Control: Manage labor and OPEX budgets, maintain an accurate parts inventory, and implement cost‑saving initiatives without compromising quality or safety.
• Regulatory & GMP Adherence: Ensure all maintenance activities comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and industry‑specific regulations, maintaining detailed documentation for audits.
• Vendor & Contract Management: Oversee relationships with external service providers (e.g., cleaning, pest control, emergency response), ensuring contracts are honored and service levels met.
• Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity: Lead disaster recovery planning, conduct simulation exercises, and coordinate rapid response actions to safeguard production continuity.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partner with Risk Management, Internal Audit, Human Resources, and Employee Services to resolve compliance issues and improve overall operational resilience.
• Project Participation: Contribute to special projects, such as equipment upgrades, lean initiatives, and technology rollouts, delivering measurable benefits to the organization.
• On‑Call Rotations & Flex Scheduling: Provide on‑call support for rotating weekends, demonstrating flexibility to meet the evolving needs of a 24/7 operation.
