Overview

Are you the kind of person who doesn’t just notice when a line is out of sync - but knows exactly how to fix it? Can you direct a team, fine-tune equipment, and drive results without skipping a beat?

If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and lead from the line, Praxis Packaging want to meet you.

 

About the Role:

As a Line & Equipment Supervisor, you’ll serve as the operational backbone of our production floor—part supervisor, part technician, and 100% responsible for keeping things running smoothly. You'll set up and change over complex packaging equipment, troubleshoot issues in real time, and guide production teams toward efficiency, quality, and speed.

Responsibilities

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • 80% of your time supervising lines, mentoring team members, and overseeing productivity

  • Performing line setups, equipment adjustments, and changeovers across coding, labeling, vision, and packing systems

  • Managing a team of 8–15 employees indirectly - setting the pace, direction, and tone for each shift

  • Collaborating with Maintenance and Engineering on technical issues

  • Leading new product launches, running atypical lines, and owning performance metrics

  • Auditing, inspecting, documenting, and improving every step of the line process

Qualifications

What You Bring:

  • 2–4 years of experience in a technical production setting (manufacturing, packaging, or equipment-heavy roles)

  • Prior supervisory or lead experience strongly preferred

  • Working knowledge of mechanical systems, coding/labeling equipment, and production documentation

  • Ability to train and mentor team members while maintaining high standards for safety, quality, and output

  • A strong sense of urgency, ownership, and hands-on leadership

Bonus Points If:

  • You’ve worked with bar code scanners, film machines, vision systems, or glue systems

  • You thrive in fast-paced, lean manufacturing environments

  • You treat troubleshooting like a sport and get satisfaction from a smooth-running shift

This isn’t a clipboard-and-whistle gig. We’re looking for someone who can run a crew and a machine—with equal confidence. If you know what it takes to meet production goals without sacrificing quality or morale, this is your role.
