Automotive Production Supervisor — General Assembly

General Motors

Long-term contract with benefits | $30–35/hr (based on PTO, experience, education)

On-site manufacturing leadership role

Lead High-Volume Automotive Production

Join a world-class automotive manufacturing team where your leadership directly impacts safety, quality, and daily production success. As a Production Supervisor in General Assembly, you’ll lead a large union workforce, drive operational performance, and play a critical role in delivering vehicles that meet the highest standards.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and support 40–60 union (UAW) team members across assembly operations
• Ensure vehicles meet quality and safety standards while maintaining production flow
• Monitor throughput and remove barriers to hit daily production targets
• Coach and develop employees; manage attendance, performance, and payroll reporting
• Resolve production, staffing, and quality issues using structured problem-solving
• Drive scrap reduction, cost control, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Partner with maintenance, quality, and engineering teams to keep lines running

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• 2+ years in manufacturing or automotive production leadership
• Experience leading hourly teams in a fast-paced plant environment
• Strong decision-making, communication, and conflict-resolution skills
• Comfortable working in a union/UAW setting
• Mechanical aptitude and understanding of assembly processes

Preferred: Lean / Six Sigma exposure, automotive manufacturing background

Schedule & Environment

• On-site plant role with rotating shifts (approx. every 6 months)
• 1st Shift: 6:00 AM – 2:30 PM (arrival ~5:30 AM)
• 2nd Shift: 3:00 PM – 11:30 PM (arrival ~2:30 PM)
• Regular overtime expected in high-volume operations

Why This Role Stands Out

• Lead production at a global automotive leader
• Manage large teams and make visible operational impact
• Gain union leadership experience in a complex assembly environment
• Long-term contract stability with potential extension

Equal Opportunity Employer (Disability/Veterans)

If you’re a hands-on production leader who thrives in high-volume automotive manufacturing and enjoys developing teams while driving results, this role offers strong pay, stability, and meaningful leadership responsibility.
