Where is the work: On-Site (5 days)     Job Summary The Moonshine Team Lead is an hourly working leader responsible for coordinating the daily execution of in-house fabrication, prototype, fixture, tooling, cart, and custom manufacturing support solutions for the plant. This role leads a team of fabricators and technicians in support of manufacturing, material handling, safety, quality, ergonomic, and continuous improvement needs.

Lead provides day-to-day direction, assigns and prioritizes work, supports problem solving, removes barriers, and helps ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, and with high workmanship standards. This position also serves as a technical resource and escalation point for more complex fabrication requests while coaching team members across all skill tiers. This is a hands-on hourly leadership role that combines technical fabrication capability, team coordination, customer communication, and workflow management. The role is not primarily administrative; it is expected to actively support fabrication and prototype activities while leading team performance, standard work, and project execution.

Escalate capacity, material, technical, or timeline constraints as needed. Support shift-to-shift communication and continuity of work when applicable. Safety and Quality Leadership Promote and enforce safe work practices, PPE use, and fabrication safety standards. Ensure fabrication, welding, cutting, lifting, assembly, and installation activities are completed safely. Reinforce quality expectations, craftsmanship standards, and adherence to specifications. Identify and address unsafe conditions, quality concerns, rework trends, and process breakdowns. Support risk assessment of custom builds, prototypes, tooling, and ergonomic solutions before implementation. Technical Fabrication Support Support or directly perform fabrication activities including welding, cutting, grinding, drilling, fit-up, assembly, and modification of fixtures, carts, tooling, prototypes, and custom equipment. Help translate customer requests, rough concepts, and floor problems into buildable solutions. Review prints, sketches, dimensions, and concept ideas for practicality and execution. Provide technical guidance on fabrication approach, sequencing, material selection, and build methods. Assist with higher-complexity or high-visibility projects requiring advanced troubleshooting or coordination. Workflow and Customer Support Manage incoming requests through the work order or request tracking system. Help prioritize jobs based on safety, quality, delivery, cost, and operational need.
