Support training and development of supervisors, operators, and shopfloor personnel.
Escalate critical production risks early and support practical corrective actions.

What We’re Looking For
Minimum 8 to 14 years of experience in production or manufacturing operations.
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Production, Industrial, Plastics, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field is required.
Strong hands-on experience in shopfloor production management, preferably in plastics, automotive components, moulded components, assembly, packaging, or high-volume manufacturing.

Ability to coordinate with quality, maintenance, stores, purchase, planning, and dispatch teams.
Strong problem-solving ability for manpower shortages, machine downtime, quality issues, and production delays.
Comfortable using Excel, ERP, or production tracking systems for daily reporting and performance monitoring.
Strong leadership, communication, follow-up, and shopfloor discipline skills.
