Job Description

This is a hands-on leadership position with no supervisory layer between the Production Manager and the production team — meaning strong technical acumen and the ability to engage directly with setters and operators is essential.
 
Non-Negotiable Requirements:

  • Proven ability to manage high-volume, high-variety manufacturing environments
  • Strong technical knowledge – must be able to understand and explain technical issues to production teams (especially setters)

  • Technical qualification (N6, National Diploma, or Degree in Production/Operations Management, Engineering, or Industrial Technology).
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office – Excel, Word, PowerPoint (and preferably database systems).

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage daily production operations, schedules, and team performance
  • Lead and coach production staff directly (no supervisors in place)
  • Oversee injection moulding machine settings, equipment performance, and troubleshooting
  • Monitor and report on key metrics: scrap %, cycle time, absenteeism, delivery timelines
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives across production and process areas
  • Collaborate with Quality to resolve non-conformances and implement corrective actions
  • Maintain production records and ensure ISO 9001:2015 compliance
  • Ensure compliance with environmental, health, and safety standards
  • Take full responsibility in the absence of the General Manager
