• Competent in reading production metrics, analysing performance, and taking corrective action
• Solid understanding of health & safety regulations, housekeeping standards and night‑shift risks
• Reliable, resilient and able to adapt to alternating shift patterns (day & night)
• Own reliable transport and a valid driver’s licence – ability to commute to Bronkhorstspruit for both day and night shifts

• Manage and supervise floor operations across the 2‑week day / 2‑week night rotation – ensuring production targets, quality standards and safety protocols are met
• Monitor and report on key performance indicators (KPI) including output, downtime, scrap/rework, shift productivity and handover effectiveness
• Lead, coach and develop all shift personnel – assign tasks, monitor performance, conduct briefings and ensure continuous improvement

• Coordinate with maintenance, logistics, quality and other support functions to ensure machines are operational, materials are available and finished goods delivered on schedule
• Perform regular floor inspections, enforce housekeeping, safety standards and ensure compliance with all operational policies
• Document and maintain accurate shift records, production logs, incident reports and handover summaries
