The Operations Packaging Supervisor is a frontline leadership role responsible for safely and efficiently leading finished-product packaging operations at Redwood Materials’ McCarran facilities.

Key Responsibilities

Lead daily finished-product packaging operations with an uncompromising commitment to safety, environmental compliance, product quality, customer requirements, and operational discipline.
Supervise, coach, train, and develop a diverse team of packaging operators to deliver safe, reliable, and cost-effective production.
Maintain a strong and consistent presence on the production floor and model the safety, quality, accountability, and operational behaviors expected from the team.
Set clear daily performance expectations, assign work, provide timely feedback, and hold team members accountable for results and behaviors.
Coordinate packaging schedules, staffing, and production priorities based on finished-product availability, customer orders, packaging-material availability, equipment readiness, and shipment requirements.
Oversee packaging activities that may include filling, weighing, sealing, wrapping, labeling, container preparation, palletizing, sampling, material staging, and finished-product handling.
Ensure finished battery materials and energy-storage products are packaged according to approved product specifications, customer requirements, and established work instructions.
Verify the accuracy of product identification, labels, weights, quantities, lot information, containers, seals, documentation, and other traceability requirements.
Ensure packaged products meet established standards for container integrity, cleanliness, protection, presentation, and shipment readiness.
Maintain product identity and lot traceability throughout the packaging and staging process.
Prevent product contamination, material mixing, incorrect labeling, packaging damage, and other conditions that could affect finished-product quality or customer acceptance.
Monitor production performance and key performance indicators related to safety, quality, packaging accuracy, throughput, labor efficiency, equipment uptime, waste, rework, schedule attainment, and cost.
Ensure operators consistently follow standardized work instructions, packaging specifications, quality controls, material-handling procedures, and escalation requirements.
Confirm that packaging materials, containers, labels, pallets, liners, seals, and other supplies are available and appropriate for scheduled production.
Coordinate with Production teams to manage the transfer of completed materials and products into the packaging process.
Partner with Warehouse and Logistics teams to ensure finished products are properly identified, staged, stored, and released for customer shipment.
Partner with Quality to address packaging defects, labeling errors, weight discrepancies, damaged containers, traceability issues, contamination concerns, and other nonconforming conditions.
Ensure nonconforming or potentially affected products are promptly identified, contained, documented, and escalated.
Partner with Maintenance and Engineering teams to improve packaging-equipment reliability, reduce downtime, and support preventive and corrective maintenance activities.
Identify and resolve production bottlenecks, equipment interruptions, labor constraints, packaging-material shortages, and workflow issues affecting customer-ready output.
Support equipment startups, shutdowns, changeovers, production trials, and the introduction of new packaging equipment, materials, products, or processes.
Participate in safety and quality incident investigations, root-cause analysis, and the implementation of corrective and preventive actions.
Review production records, downtime information, quality results, customer requirements, and operator feedback to identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
Lead shift meetings, communicate safety topics and production priorities, and ensure effective operational handoffs between shifts.
Maintain accurate production, quality, traceability, training, inventory, downtime, and shift documentation.
Support the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of standard operating procedures, packaging specifications, and operator training materials.
Reinforce housekeeping, workplace organization, tool control, inventory accuracy, and material-control standards throughout the packaging area.
Support employee hiring, onboarding, qualification, cross-training, attendance management, performance management, and professional development.
Drive a culture of safety, ownership, teamwork, accountability, problem-solving, customer focus, and continuous improvement.
