Job description

Prime Recruitment is seeking a hands-on Workshop Supervisor for an established stainless steel fabrication and engineering business in Malaga.

The business is known for quality work and long-standing clients. It builds specialised equipment for major food industry clients and sterilisation equipment for hospitals.

This is not a desk job. You'll lead from the floor, keep work moving and hold the standards the business is known for.

The Role

• Run daily workshop operations and allocate work
• Lead and mentor tradespeople and apprentices
• Manage scheduling, priorities and deadlines
• Track progress, labour and job costs against quotes
• Make sure work meets drawings, specs and quality standards
• Keep safety and housekeeping standards high

About You

• Experience leading a fabrication or engineering workshop
• Strong boilermaking or stainless steel fabrication background
• Able to read drawings and manage performance
• Comfortable using Word and Excel

Heavy-duty stainless or food industry experience is highly regarded. A trade ticket is preferred but not essential. Senior tradespeople ready to step up are encouraged to apply.

The Right Attitude

This matters as much as your experience. You treat the workshop like it's your own. You lead from the front and don't walk past a problem. You do what you say you'll do.

The business wants someone to settle in for the long haul. This is not a stepping stone.

What's On Offer

• Full-time, permanent role, Monday to Friday
• An established team and a strong reputation behind you
• Varied, specialised stainless projects
• Genuine responsibility and influence
• Salary negotiable based on experience
