Full Job Description

This role is seeking a highly seasoned, operationally focused individual to take full command of the manufacturing facility during operational hours. This position will require a tactical leader who will spend most of their time on the floor, serving as a liaison between the daily operations and the General Manager.

The ideal candidate will be an expert in high-volume production flow, possessing the technical acumen to troubleshoot downtime and the leadership acumen required to manage performance and safety in a fast-paced environment

Strategic Production Oversight & GM Support:

Function as the Primary Site Leader during designated shifts, exercising full autonomy to make critical operational decisions.
Translate daily production targets into actionable hourly milestones for machine operators and floor staff.
Provide detailed shift-handover reports to the General Manager, highlighting variances in output, labour issues, and mechanical concerns.

Advanced Performance Control & Workforce Management

Active Supervision: Move beyond passive monitoring to active coaching; identify delays in human performance and intervene immediately.
Conflict Resolution: Manage on-site grievances or disciplinary issues in real-time to ensure production continuity.
KPI Accountability: Drive shift performance against specific targets: OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), Quality Yield, and Labour Efficiency.

Lean Operations & Waste Elimination:

Aggressive Waste Reduction: Implement and audit zero-waste initiatives focusing on raw material scrap, energy consumption, and labour idle time.
Downtime Mitigation: Act as the first responder to mechanical stoppages. Coordinate with the maintenance team to ensure the Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) is kept to an absolute minimum.
Root Cause Analysis: For significant stoppages, lead a "5-Whys" or similar analysis to prevent recurrence on future shifts.

End-to-End Supply Chain Synchronisation:

Inbound Flow: Audit the supply of raw materials to the line; ensure that no machine sits idle due to logistical failures or "dry" staging area
Outbound Flow: Oversee the final quality check and the seamless transition of finished goods into the warehouse. Eliminate "bottlenecking" at the end of the line.
Inventory Integrity: Ensure accurate real-time recording of material usage and finished units to prevent inventory discrepancies.

Safety Leadership & PPE Compliance:

Safety Culture: Move beyond policing to building a culture where PPE compliance is second nature.
Incident Management: Conduct immediate investigations into near misses, incidents and accidents occurring on shift.
Zero Tolerance: Enforce strict adherence to safety protocols and local OHS legislation without exception.

Minimum Requirements:

Grade 12 (Matric)
Relevant Tertiary Education: A National Diploma or Degree in Production Management, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field is highly advantageous.
Manufacturing Background: 5 to 10 years of Supervisory experience specifically in a manufacturing or industrial warehouse environment.

Core and Technical Competencies :

Analytical Skills: Ability to interpret production data and adjust resource allocation to meet targets.
Shift Resilience: This role requires a candidate who is physically and mentally prepared for the rigors of permanent rotational work, specifically the Night Shift cycle.
Deep familiarity with PLC-driven machinery, high-speed conveyors, and automated packaging systems.

Position Specifics:

Working Hours: 45 Hours a Week - Based on shift roster
Willing to work night shift
Basic Remuneration: Market Related
Own reliable transport

Pay: R22 500,00 - R30 000,00 per month

Application Question(s):

What is your expected remuneration per month?
In which suburb do you currently stay?
Are you currently employed?

Work Location: In person
