plant supervisor

Industrial facility manager

A plant supervisor oversees operations at a manufacturing facility or industrial plant, managing workers, production schedules, and equipment.

The role sits between floor workers and upper management: She worked her way up from the assembly line to plant supervisor.

Plant here means factory, not vegetation—though the term could theoretically apply to someone managing a nursery.
