Position Overview

International Motors is seeking a motivated and results-driven Truck Specialty Center Supervisor to oversee daily post-production operations and customized truck modifications in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

This position plays a key role in ensuring employee safety, maintaining operational efficiency, and delivering high-quality customized vehicles while meeting production schedules and cost objectives.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong leadership, effective communication, and the ability to manage employees, materials, equipment, and subcontractors while collaborating with engineering and manufacturing teams.

This may require working outside normal production hours, including extended shifts, production startup activities, recovery efforts, and occasional weekend support based on operational requirements.
