Role
Shift Supervisor (Worksite)
The hiring challenge
Leads a shift at a worksite where a coordination error can cost lives; an interview is no assurance of whether the person sustains leadership under fatigue and isolation or prioritizes safety over production when there's pressure to hit the target.
What to assess
Leadership, safety awareness as a priority, self-control under fatigue, and problem solving.
