Assistant Production Supervisor

Are you looking to take your career to the next level as an Assistant Production Supervisor? Would you like to work within a well-established, very successful company, with a 4 day week working Monday to Thursday? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

About Us:

At Cair we pride ourselves on creating telecare and smart technologies that we would all want in our homes. We’re a small business working hard to make a big impact.

Job Summary:

Due to expansion, we are seeking to recruit a proactive and dedicated individual with a passion for production to join our growing Operations team. We’re looking for someone who is experienced in production and wanting to develop their skills into an Assistant Production Supervisor role. This role will work closely with our Operations Manager to assist in the smooth running of daily production and operations, managing direct reports and resources to achieve operational needs.

Tasks Summary:

No two days are ever the same, so we’re looking for a dynamic individual with flexibility and prioritisation skills to help keep our production running smoothly. First thing in the morning you might complete tasks like:

• Production Scheduling: Creating and reviewing the production schedule, assessing the day’s production goals and adjusting the schedule where necessary to meet demands.
• Attendance: Oversee and manage attendance and working hours for production operators, highlighting any patterns or anomalies.
• Equipment Checks: Ensure all equipment and machinery are in working order, organising maintenance where required.

During the day while production is ongoing, some of the tasks you might complete include:

• Lead and Motivate: You’ll be overseeing a team of direct reports, so we’re looking for someone to lead by example maintaining a positive working environment to promote and achieve productivity, quality and performance.
• Monitoring Workflow: Assisting in overseeing all aspects of daily production and related operations to maximise efficiency.
• Troubleshoot Issues: Issues can crop up from time to time, so we’re looking for someone to roll up their sleeves and look into issues immediately to help us minimise downtime.

You may also be involved in tasks like:

• Optimising Processes: Identify any inefficiencies in existing processes and implement process improvements to increase productivity.
• Development: Provide on-the-job development for new hires and existing staff to help upskill the workforce.
• Health & Safety: We’re relentless when it comes to promoting safe working practices, and we take all possible steps to ensure we never compromise the health and wellbeing of our employees, so we’re looking for someone who shares a similar mindset.

We believe communication is key, so we’re big on great verbal and written communication skills with colleagues, suppliers and customers. We’re a fairly small team, but as we grow, we’re looking for team players to get stuck in wherever needed. As with all companies and roles, we expect the pressure to increase at times. We’re looking for someone who can remain calm and continue to work effectively when that happens.

We value a positive attitude, common sense and a passion to get the job done. We recruit on the basis of merit, promoting equal opportunities for all employees and job applicants. We encourage and support diversity, equity and inclusion and actively promote a culture that values differences and eliminates discrimination in our workplace.
