As we prepare to support increased production volumes, we are adding Production Supervisors to our Fabrication operation. This is an opportunity for a hands-on leader who enjoys being close to the operation, developing people, solving problems, and creating the conditions for a team to perform at its best.
As a Production Supervisor, you will provide frontline leadership to a manufacturing team while driving performance across safety, quality, productivity, delivery, and continuous improvement. You’ll partner closely with operations leadership and other plant functions to keep production running effectively, address challenges quickly, and build a strong, accountable team culture.
This is more than managing the day-to-day shift. We’re looking for leaders who can develop people, raise performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and help position the Eminence operation for continued growth.
What You’ll Do
- Provide hands-on leadership and direction to employees within the Fabrication operation.

- Lead daily production activities to achieve safety, quality, productivity, and delivery objectives.
- Coach, develop, and engage employees while setting clear expectations and holding the team accountable for performance.
- Monitor production performance and proactively address issues that could impact output, quality, or customer commitments.
- Partner with Maintenance, Quality, Engineering, Supply Chain, and plant leadership to resolve operational challenges.
- Identify opportunities to improve workflow, efficiency, equipment utilization, and overall operational performance.
- Support continuous improvement initiatives and encourage employees to identify and implement better ways of working.
- Ensure appropriate staffing, work assignments, communication, and shift coverage.
- Reinforce quality standards and ensure products consistently meet customer requirements.
- Support employee training and development to strengthen team capability and build bench strength.
- Communicate priorities, performance expectations, and operational updates effectively across the team.
- Maintain accurate production documentation and ensure adherence to company policies and procedures.
- Serve as a visible, engaged leader on the manufacturing floor.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for an experienced manufacturing leader who can balance people leadership with operational execution. The strongest candidates will bring experience supervising employees in a manufacturing, fabrication, metals, industrial production, or similarly complex operating environment.
Successful candidates should demonstrate strong leadership and communication skills, a commitment to safety and quality, sound judgment, accountability, and the ability to lead teams through changing production demands.
Experience with continuous improvement, Lean manufacturing, KPI-driven operations, employee development, and cross-functional problem-solving is highly valued.
Schedule
Selected candidates will initially train on day shift to become familiar with the operation, equipment, processes, team, and Hussey Copper's expectations before transitioning to their assigned night shift.
The regular schedule will consist of 12-hour night shifts with every other weekend off.
Compensation
$70,000–$85,000 annually, based on experience and qualifications.
Why Hussey Copper?
This is an exciting time to join the Eminence operation. With increasing production demand ahead, these supervisors will have an opportunity to help strengthen the operation, develop their teams, and directly influence how we perform as we grow.
At Hussey Copper, we value leaders who are willing to be present, take ownership, develop their people, and continuously look for ways to make the operation stronger.

Production Supervisor Jobs in Kentucky: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a production supervisor in Kentucky?
Most Kentucky production supervisor roles require several years of hands-on manufacturing experience combined with an associate or bachelor's degree in operations management, industrial technology, or a related field. Kentucky does not issue a state-specific license for this role, so employers focus on internal advancement from line operator or team lead positions. Earning a Certified Production and Inventory Management credential or completing a lean manufacturing program strengthens your candidacy at Kentucky's larger industrial employers.
How much do production supervisors make in Kentucky?
Production supervisors in Kentucky earn a median of about $72,490 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $45,560 for the lowest 10% to over $104,810 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire production supervisors in Kentucky?
Kentucky production supervisor roles are posted by BAE Systems USA, MCC, and Dana and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Kentucky's automotive, food processing, and spirits manufacturing sectors generate particularly consistent openings year-round.
Which Kentucky cities have the most production supervisor jobs?
Louisville, Bowling Green, and Florence lead Kentucky in production supervisor openings, driven by the concentration of automotive assembly plants and food and beverage processing facilities that operate large hourly workforces requiring experienced floor-level supervision.
Are there remote production supervisor jobs in Kentucky?
Yes, but they're rare. Production supervisor work is fundamentally hands-on, requiring direct oversight of equipment, personnel, and processes on the plant floor. About 0% of production supervisor openings tied to Kentucky are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions typically involve corporate-level production planning or multi-site coordination roles rather than direct shift supervision.
How can I get hired as a production supervisor in Kentucky with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is advancing from a team lead or line operator role within a Kentucky manufacturing facility, where internal promotion into supervisory positions is common. Large Kentucky employers like Toyota's Georgetown plant and Tyson Foods facilities regularly hire entry-level production associates with a pathway to team lead. Completing a manufacturing technician program at a Kentucky Community and Technical College system campus strengthens your profile, as does earning a forklift certification or basic OSHA safety credential before applying.
