Job description

Production Supervisor – £30,000 to £35,000 DOE

Are you an experienced Production Supervisor looking for your next step? Our client, a market leader in the hygiene manufacturing industry, is seeking a motivated and hands‑on Production Supervisor to join their Soap and Paper division. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in ensuring production targets are achieved safely, efficiently and to the highest quality standards.

In this role, you will support the Production Manager in overseeing day‑to‑day operations across your assigned area, ensuring smooth workflow, optimal productivity and team performance. You’ll be responsible for leading, training and mentoring production staff, managing shift handovers, maintaining stock levels and ensuring compliance with Health & Safety, Quality and Environmental standards. With a focus on continuous improvement, you’ll also contribute ideas to optimise processes, enhance efficiency and support the company’s long‑term growth.

The role will be 80/20 – 80% of the time on the factory floor vs 20% in the office.

You’ll need proven experience in a production supervisory role within a manufacturing environment with strong leadership, communication and organisational skills. A proactive and motivational approach is essential, along with the ability to make sound decisions when the Production Manager is off‑site. Experience in risk assessments, 6S principles and ISOH requirements would be an advantage.

This role offers a rotating shift pattern: one week 6:55 am–2:55 pm followed by 2:45 pm–10:45 pm, so flexibility across both shifts is required.

If you’re a driven leader who thrives in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment and takes pride in maintaining high standards of safety, quality and performance – APPLY NOW!
