POSITION SUMMARY

The Overnight Plant Supervisor is the senior on-site authority during overnight operations at BMPR. This role provides leadership coverage, operational decision-making, and accountability during night shifts, ensuring the plant continues to operate safely, efficiently, and without disruption when day-shift leadership is not present.

This is not a Production Supervisor role. Instead, the Overnight Plant Supervisor functions as an assistant-level plant leader, empowered to make real-time decisions, resolve issues, and move operations forward independently without routine escalation to the Production Manager or Plant Manager.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Overnight Plant Leadership

• Act as the primary decision-maker on site during overnight shifts.
• Make timely operational decisions to keep the plant running without unnecessary delays.
• Provide leadership presence and accountability across all overnight activities.
• Ensure effective shift handovers and continuity between day and night operations.

Safety & Compliance

• Enforce all safety policies and procedures during overnight operations.
• Address safety concerns immediately and implement corrective actions as required.
• Ensure all employees follow PPE requirements and safe work practices.

Operational Oversight

• Monitor overnight plant activity to ensure operations continue smoothly.
• Coordinate with maintenance for equipment issues, breakdowns, or urgent repairs.
• Identify and resolve operational issues, bottlenecks, or disruptions as they arise.
• Ensure plant standards and expectations are upheld consistently overnight.

People Leadership

• Provide direction, support, and supervision to overnight staff.
• Address attendance, performance, and conduct issues in line with company policy.
• Maintain a professional, stable, and engaged overnight work environment.

Communication & Reporting

• Document incidents, decisions, and key overnight events clearly for day shift leadership.
• Participate in structured handovers to ensure transparency and continuity.
• Escalate only issues that require senior leadership involvement

Education, Skills and Experience

• Minimum 5+ years of supervisory or leadership experience in a manufacturing, industrial, or plant-based environment.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and make sound decisions.
• Strong understanding of plant operations, safety standards, and industrial environments.
• Comfortable supervising cross-functional plant functions overnight.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and judgment skills.
• Ability to remain calm and decisive in overnight or high-pressure situations.

Post-secondary education in manufacturing, operations, or a related field is considered an asset but not required.

Working Environment and Physical Demands

• Industrial manufacturing environment with exposure to machinery and noise.
• Ability to walk the floor, stand for extended periods, and perform occasional lifting.
• Required use of PPE and adherence to safety protocols.

SALARY: $65-70K/year
