Production Supervisor — Tablets & Capsules

Position Summary

The Pharmacy Hub is looking for a Production Supervisor to lead the daily execution of our tablet and capsule compounding operations. This is a hands-on, floor-based leadership role — most of your day will be spent on the production floor, making sure the team is executing correctly, meeting the production plan, using the right equipment and tooling, and maintaining both productivity and quality standards.

Beyond daily execution, you will actively monitor performance and look for opportunities to improve capacity, efficiency, workflow, and to reduce waste and rework. You will also schedule and train technicians, and partner with Production Management and QA/QC — all while upholding the quality, safety, and compliance standards of a regulated 503A compounding environment.

This position reports directly to the Tablets & Capsules Manager.
