Night Shift Manufacturing Foreman

Lead the night. Support the team. Make an impact.

At Scot Forge, we manufacture high-performance forged components used in some of the most demanding applications in the world—from aerospace to national defense. With over 130 years of success and 100% employee ownership, we offer more than a job—we offer a long-term career.

We’re hiring a Night Shift Foreman to provide hands-on leadership during overnight operations at our Spring Grove facility. This is a 2^nd/3^rd shift position averaging 10-hour shifts.

Why This Role

The Night Shift Foreman role will provide the servant leadership mindset and oversight needed to maintain safe workflow and quality decision making support across all departments, providing a collaborative leadership presence that works in partnership with first-shift leadership.

What You’ll Own

• A safe, high-quality production environment during overnight hours
• Coordination of production across forging, heat treat, machining, and related processes
• Strong communication and alignment between shifts

What You’ll Do

• Lead and support the production team directly on the floor
• Make real-time decisions to address safety, quality, or production issues
• Communicate clearly across departments and shifts
• Coach and develop team members while reinforcing expectations

This is a highly hands-on role, with the majority of time spent working alongside the team.

What We’re Looking For

• ~10+ years of manufacturing experience, ideally in metals or heavy industry
• Prior leadership experience in a production environment
• Strong decision-making skills and ability to lead independently
• Solid understanding of manufacturing processes and shop floor operations
• A servant leadership mindset with strong communication skills
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints, process documentation, and inspection criteria preferred.
• Familiarity with ERP systems, production tracking tools, and intermediate computer skills.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing operations, raw material grades and low volume /high mix, material flow.
• Must be authorized to work anywhere in the U.S. without sponsorship
• Must be able to pass a 90-day head hair drug test today

Why Scot Forge

• Employee-owned, stable, and growing
• Industry leader in forged products for critical applications
• Strong safety culture and team-first mindset
• A place where people build careers, not just resumes
