Electrical Supervisor

Electrical Technician SupervisorLocation: La Vergne, TNPosition Overview:We're partnering with an established manufacturing company in the industrial equipment space looking for an Electrical Technician Supervisor who wants to stay close to the work — not manage from a distance. This role is equal parts hands-on troubleshooting, team development, and cross-functional communication: you'll be diagnosing electrical issues on the floor, training technicians on assembly procedures and safety standards, and keeping engineering and company leadership informed through regular project status reporting. If you're a strong electrical technician who's ready to lead, or a supervisor who still wants their hands in the technical work, this is the right seat.Responsibilities:Lead, coach, and develop a team of electrical technicians and assemblersConduct training on assembly procedures, safety protocols, and quality standardsAssign work, monitor performance, and support individual development for team membersParticipate in hiring, onboarding, and performance evaluationsServe as the primary liaison between electrical assembly and design engineering — translating engineering changes and communicating production realities back to the design teamPartner with engineers to resolve assembly challenges and improve manufacturabilitySupport prototype builds and new product launchesDrive quality compliance through inspection procedures and process disciplineIdentify and implement process improvement opportunities to reduce waste and improve product reliabilityLead or support root cause analysis and corrective actions for assembly or electrical issuesMaintain accurate production records and documentationQualifications:5+ years of experience in electrical assembly or industrial manufacturingPrevious supervisory or team lead experience preferredStrong ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical drawingsHands-on knowledge of electrical components, control panels, and low-voltage systemsFamiliarity with manufacturing safety standards and quality systems (e.g., IPC, ISO)Clear communicator who can work effectively across production and engineering teamsProficient with Microsoft Office and standard manufacturing documentation systemsBonus: Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles or formal continuous improvement methodology (Kaizen, 5S, Six Sigma)Why This Role Stands Out:Real cross-functional influence — you're not siloed on the floor; you're in the room when engineering decisions get madeA team culture that genuinely values collaboration and leaves egos at the doorHands-on technical work stays part of the job — this isn't a purely administrative supervisor roleOpportunity to shape how the team is built, trained, and developed as the company growsDirect involvement in prototype builds and product improvements — your work has a short path to production impactStable, established company with a clear commitment to manufacturing quality
