Job DescriptionProduction Supervisor - Chemicals
St Charles, IL (On-site)
Compensation: $90,000 to $120,000 plus bonus
About the Role
A well-established chemical manufacturing operation in St Charles is looking for a hands-on Production Supervisor to lead a team of up to 10 operators across a continuous chemical production process. This is a floor-first leadership role with approximately 70% of your time spent on the floor and 30% on scheduling, reporting, and coordination. The facility runs 24/7 and this shift is newly created as the plant expands to three-shift operations, making this a great opportunity to set the tone and build something from the start.
Processes are largely automated and controlled through an automated system, with operators monitoring from a central control room and the supervisor moving across all three areas.
About the Company
This is a large, globally recognized manufacturer of chemical products with a multicultural workforce and a culture that values floor presence, technical problem solving, and people who lead by example. The plant runs quarterly maintenance shutdowns and an annual full facility shutdown. The team is collaborative, cross-functional, and built around continuous improvement. Career growth is real here, and the company invests in people who show up and perform.
Responsibilities Lead up to 10 operators across multiple departments
Troubleshoot chemical reactions and process deviations proactively and make sound decisions under pressure
Manage batch scheduling and coordinate raw material inventory validation and truck unloading
Monitor all process systems through the control room and ensure operators are executing to standard
Complete shift reports, log batch numbers and PBOs for traceability, and track process deviations accurately
Plan and oversee manual material handling tasks including raw material reloading, QC sampling, and end-of-run cleaning
Drive housekeeping, safety, and operational standards across all three process areas
Requirements BS in Chemical engineering, Chemistry, Biology or related is required or an equivalent of 5+ years of hands-on chemical processing leadership experience
Experience in continuous chemical processes is required; polymerization, coatings, plastics, or extrusion backgrounds are a strong fit
PSM program is strongly preferred
Leadership experience in a chemical, or closely related industrial manufacturing environment with the ability to make decisions independently on shift
Automated processing equipment is preferred
Floor-first mindset with the ability to move between hands-on work and desk responsibilities
Stable work history with a track record of growing within organizations
Compensation and Benefits $90,000 to $120,000 base salary plus bonus
Performance bonus paid twice per year based on results across the facility
100% paid for medical benefits
Weekend rotation with scheduled time off built in
Stable, globally recognized company with real career growth potential
This is a role for someone who thrives in a technical environment, leads from the floor, and wants to grow within a world-class chemical manufacturing operation. If that describes you, apply now and let‘s talk.
