Operations Supervisor Jobs in Texas

Lead the Line. Elevate the Team.

Step into a frontline leadership role guiding a production team in a fast-paced, high-volume manufacturing environment at CelLink. You’ll set the pace for safety, quality, and output while coaching a talented crew and partnering with cross-functional experts to keep products moving and customers happy.

A Day in the Life

As the shift kicks off, you align priorities with upstream and downstream teams, review production records, and verify readiness: staffing, tools, materials, and standardized work instructions. Throughout the night, you’re on the floor—coaching operators, unblocking workflow issues, coordinating equipment maintenance, and ensuring every station meets safety and quality expectations. When bottlenecks appear, you dig into the root cause, drive corrective actions, and keep shipping commitments on track. You close the shift by capturing data in the manufacturing system, updating performance KPIs, and communicating clear handoffs to other shifts.

• People leadership: set expectations, coach for performance, deliver timely evaluations, and administer discipline/termination per company policy.

• Continuous improvement: partner with Operations, Process Engineering, Equipment & Controls, and Project Management to transfer tools, processes, documentation, and training into Manufacturing.
• Cross-shift collaboration: communicate with and assist other manufacturing shifts.

• Business support: assist with budget development and electronic file maintenance.
• Workplace care: maintain a clean, orderly area and comply with safety and environmental regulations.
