Reimagine What’s Possible 

Do you thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment where safety, quality, and operational excellence are critical? Air Products is seeking a Night Production Supervisor (6pm to 6am) to lead our Spinning Operations team at our Membrane Solutions manufacturing facility in St. Louis, Missouri.

This role serves as the primary spinning operations leader on site during the night shift, overseeing all spinning production areas and guiding a team of approximately 16 production technicians and working team leads.
