Job description

At Jonsson Workwear, we continually strive to provide our hardworking customers with endless possibilities. This is demonstrated in our extensive workwear offering that enables peak performance in every industry, and in our wide-ranging customisation services that allow businesses to personalise their workwear solutions.

A uniquely personalised uniform transcends adding a logo - it has the power to elevate garments, unite teams and enhance brand visibility. We make all this possible for our customers through our multitude of customisation services, including logo embroidery, garment printing and high-visibility tape application. While small customisation orders can be conveniently done in-store, bulk requests are completed at our Fulfilment Centre.

Heeding the importance of this service within Jonsson Workwear, our Fulfilment Centre requires the technical and solution-driven expertise of a Production Leader to drive production in our customisation facility. In this role, you will manage the day-to-day processes of this area to ensure efficiency, quality and optimal output.

The ideal Production Leader will be required to:

• Lead and inspire a large team while optimising a high-volume customisation operation.
• Be target- and deadline-driven, ensuring customers’ orders are accurately completed in the shortest timeframe possible.
• Apply the technical expertise and proactive problem-solving skills required to negate equipment downtime.
• Guide and train a high-performance team to ensure they are technically equipped to improve productivity output.
• Possess extensive technical and practical knowledge of sewing machines; ZSK and SWF embroidery equipment; and DTF and DTG printing machines.
• Demonstrate the exceptional attention to detail that is essential for high-quality production.

In line with Jonsson Workwear’s commitment to employment equity, applications from candidates from designated groups, as well as candidates with disabilities, are encouraged.
