Are you a hands-on leader from a machine shop environment who thrives on driving performance, leading teams, and making a real impact on the shop floor? Would you enjoy leading the manufacture of one of the most technically advanced safety-critical products in aerospace? We’re working with a highly respected engineering organisation that is investing in its manufacturing capability and looking for a Machine Shop Supervisor to lead a skilled Machine Shop team. This is a rare opportunity to step into a well-established, high-performing environment where your leadership will directly influence output, quality, and team success.
Working with a team of skilled machinists, technicians and manufacturing specialists, you'll oversee production using a range of CNC machining centres and precision manufacturing equipment, ensuring quality, safety and delivery remain at the highest standards. This is far more than a traditional shop floor supervisory role. The business is looking for someone who wants to develop into a future Cell Leader, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in their manufacturing leadership career.
You'll be responsible for:
- Leading and developing a team of up to 15 manufacturing professionals
- Driving production performance across a precision machining environment
- Supporting CNC machining, assembly and specialist manufacturing operations
- Delivering on-time production through effective planning and resource management
- Championing Lean Manufacturing, 5S and continuous improvement
- Working closely with Engineering, Quality and Production Control to solve manufacturing challenges
We'd love to speak with you if you have:
- Experience supervising or leading teams machining or precision manufacturing
- A background in aerospace, defence, automotive, motorsport, medical devices or other high-spec manufacturing
- Strong communication and people leadership skills
- The ambition to progress into a senior manufacturing leadership position
Why join? This is a genuine long-term career opportunity with a business renowned for engineering excellence, product quality and investing in its people. You'll work on a fascinating, highly specialised product in a manufacturing environment where no two days are quite the same.
If you're a Manufacturing Supervisor, CNC Team Leader, Production Team Leader, Cell Leader or Workshop Supervisor looking for your next challenge, I'd be happy to have a confidential conversation.
