Operations Supervisor

Full time

Amsterdam, NY, US

Salary: $70,000.00 Annually

Shift you are responsible for: 2nd Shift, which is Monday - Friday 2:00PM - 10:30PM.

Running a shift is one thing. Running a shift where your decisions on personnel, safety, and productivity shape what happens on the floor every single night is something more.

How would you like to be the person 2nd shift depends on? The one who keeps production on pace, paperwork accurate, and people accountable, while setting the next day up to succeed?

At Mohawk Lifts, this isn't a hands-off supervisory role where you sit in an office and file reports. You'll be on the production floor: building work assignments, training and developing employees, executing on leadership's direction, and making sure both shifts hand off cleanly, accurately, and on time.

This is a role for someone who has already led people and owns it. Someone who has made the hard calls on staffing and firing disciplinary actions. Someone who is ready to be fully accountable for a shift's results from day one.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Lead and develop a team of operation employees

• Own productivity, quality, safety, and employee outcomes for your shift

• Build training plans and coach employees toward real growth and advancement

• Bridge 2nd and 1st shift operations, including shipping, receiving, and inventory movements

• Make real hiring, coaching, and disciplinary decisions — this is full people ownership, not just oversight

• Join a stable, growth-oriented manufacturing company that invests in its leaders

Since 1981, Mohawk Lifts has built a reputation for manufacturing some of the safest and most durable automotive lifts in the industry. Our products are proudly manufactured in Amsterdam, NY and used throughout North America. We have earned our reputation through quality products, outstanding customer support, and a team committed to doing things the right way.

At Mohawk, we invest in our people. We believe in giving employees ownership, encouraging new ideas, and creating opportunities for professional growth. Your success contributes directly to our success.

What You Bring:

• 5+ years of supervisory experience, including experience making hiring and firing decisions

• 5+ years working in a manufacturing environment

• 3+ years of experience working with ERP systems

• Working knowledge of inventory management

• Ability to read a blueprint

• A track record of full people leadership — training, coaching, performance management, and holding people accountable to standards

Nice to Have (Not Required):

• Experience in a Skills Development System environment

• Experience in a welding environment

• 4-year college degree

• Certified forklift driver

You'll Thrive Here If You:

• Take full ownership of your shift's results — you don't wait to be told, you drive outcomes

• Have a track record of making tough people decisions fairly and consistently

• Can walk onto a manufacturing floor and quickly understand how the work really gets done

• Believe developing your people is part of the job, not separate from it

• Hold a high bar for safety, quality, and accuracy — and hold others to it too

• Want a company that will invest in your growth as much as you invest in your shift's

Benefits & Perks:

• Competitive pay

• Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance

• Company-paid $50,000 Life Insurance

• Company-paid Long-Term Disability

• 401(k) with up to 4.5% company match

• Annual performance bonus opportunity

• Employee Referral Bonus Program

• Stable, growth-oriented manufacturing environment

Why Join Mohawk:

• Real leadership ownership — you'll shape your shift's training, culture, and results, not just enforce someone else's plan

• Fast-paced and team-oriented — we solve problems cross-functionally, not in silos

• Clear expectations with room to build processes and make your shift better

• Stable company with long-tenured employees and consistent leadership
