About Central Moloney (CMI)

Since 1949, CMI has been building distribution transformers that keep the lights on across North America — and the people who make that happen are the reason we're still here 75+ years later. We're ISO 9001 certified, we promote from within, and we take care of our team with competitive pay and benefits. If you're looking for a place that's stable, serious about safety, and actually invests in the people on the floor — this is it.

About the Role

As a Winding Team Lead at Central Moloney, you'll play a critical hands-on leadership role on our Panama City production floor. You'll be responsible for guiding a team of machine operators through daily production goals while maintaining the quality, safety, and efficiency standards that CMI is known for. This isn't just a support role — you're the person your team looks to when they need direction, and the person leadership relies on to keep the floor moving.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and coordinate daily machine operations to meet production schedules and customer requirements.
• Monitor coil winding output to ensure compliance with CMI standards, blueprints, and specifications.
• Train and onboard new machine operators, sharing best practices and reinforcing proper technique.
• Conduct on-the-floor coaching and provide performance feedback to team members in real time.
• Identify and communicate production bottlenecks, equipment issues, or quality concerns to the Production Supervisor promptly.
• Enforce all safety protocols, including PPE compliance and hazard awareness.
• Maintain accurate production records, including output tracking, scrap logs, and shift reports.
• Collaborate with the Production Supervisor to support workflow planning and staffing adjustments.
• Motivate team members to meet daily targets while fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
• Assume additional duties as assigned.

What you bring:

• Minimum 2 years of experience in machine operations in a manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated ability to read and interpret blueprint and drawings.
• Prior experience in a lead, mentor, or supervisory capacity preferred.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to give clear direction on a fast-paced production floor.
• Analytical mindset with a focus on quality, efficiency, and problem-solving.
• Commitment to safety, dependability, and punctuality.
• Basic math and computer skills for recordkeeping and reporting.
