Processing Supervisor

About the Role

Join Streck’s Operations team as a Processing Supervisor, where you’ll lead a skilled team responsible for the initial processing of incoming cellular components in a regulated biomedical environment. If you thrive on combining scientific precision with people leadership — and want to make a meaningful impact on the quality of products that matter — this role is for you.

What You’ll Do:

• Oversee the processing of RBC cellular components, ensuring all work follows Standard Operating Procedures and Quality System Requirements.
• Maintain hands-on competency across all processing steps; step in to support or cover Technicians when needed.
• Enforce strict aseptic technique and clean room standards to meet sterility requirements.
• Plan and schedule all departmental functions — including production schedules, staff time off, overtime, and team meetings.
• Manage raw material and supply inventories to keep production running on schedule; initiate purchase requests as needed.
• Ensure all process documentation is accurate, legible, and completed on time.
• Review and revise departmental SOPs and work instructions for alignment with FDA and ISO Quality Systems.
• Partner with other production departments to solve cross-functional challenges and meet production targets.
• Lead recruiting, interviewing, and hiring for the department; conduct regular 1-on-1s and performance reviews.
• Champion continuous improvement by surfacing ideas for cost reduction, equipment upgrades, and efficiency gains.

What We’re Looking For:

• Bachelor’s degree in a science-related field, or an Associate’s degree with relevant hands-on experience.
• Experience in an FDA/ISO-regulated environment; prior supervisory experience is preferred.
• Dependable, highly organized, and capable of managing multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills — both written and verbal.
• Ability to operate lab equipment including centrifuges, bench scales, and peristaltic pumps.
• Comfortable with occasional physical demands: lifting up to 40 lbs, extended standing, and working in laboratory attire.

Key Competencies:

Effective Decision Making

• Analyzes complex situations, identifies root causes, and acts decisively — even under time pressure.

Change Agility

• Adapts quickly to shifting priorities and guides teams through change with clear communication and sound judgment.

Team Leadership

• Builds high-performing teams through coaching, clear expectations, and creating accountability at every level.

Strategic Awareness

• Understands how department decisions connect to broader organizational goals and manages resources accordingly.
