About this role

Enviva's Shift Supervisor role at the Epes facility puts you in charge of day-to-day plant operations for the world's largest sustainable wood pellet producer. You'll lead a production team, assign tasks, monitor output quality and safety metrics, troubleshoot equipment issues, and maintain the documentation and reporting systems that keep operations running smoothly. This is hands-on leadership on an active production floor where you're accountable for safety, quality, production targets, and cost performance.

The role demands at least two years in industrial or manufacturing environments, ideally with wood products experience. You'll need solid computer skills, strong written and verbal communication, and the ability to think analytically when problems arise. Previous supervisory or management experience is a plus, though the core requirement is being self-motivated, detail-oriented, and genuinely collaborative with your team.

Be prepared for the physical and environmental demands: you'll work shifts including evenings, weekends, and overnight hours in a hot, humid, noisy industrial setting with temperature extremes. The job occasionally requires climbing to heights up to 100 feet and lifting up to 50 pounds. A high school diploma is the baseline; an associate or bachelor's degree strengthens your candidacy. This position does not support visa sponsorship.
