Job Description

Are you a Lead Technician or Manufacturing Supervisor looking to make a genuine impact? This global leader in gas detection technology near Middlesbrough are seeking a Production Supervisor. 

This isn't just "another assembly job". You will be leading the team responsible for manufacturing, repairing, and testing high-precision equipment used in mission-critical environments, from military submarines to deep-sea diving and scientific laboratories.

You will be the heartbeat of the shop floor. You’ll manage a high-performing team of Technicians, ensuring that every piece of equipment leaving the facility meets the exacting standards required to save lives.

You will balance hands-on technical expertise (soldering, mechanical assembly, wire looms) with strategic leadership (KPI monitoring, 1-2-1s, and process improvement).

What You'll be Doing:

• Coach and develop your team, fostering a culture of accountability and excellence.
• Oversee production schedules, ensuring work aligns with SOPs and quality standards.
• Perform independent inspections and verify build/repair phases from receipt to dispatch.
• Drive efficiency through Lean methodologies and the use of ERP systems/data.
• Maintain a gold-standard H&S environment, leading by example with 5S initiatives.

What You’ll Need to Succeed:

• HNC (or equivalent experience) in Engineering, Manufacturing, or a related discipline.
• Proven experience supervising or leading a team within a manufacturing or production environment.
• Strong hands-on experience in the assembly, testing, or repair of electronic and mechanical products (soldering and wire looms are essential).
• High attention to detail, a proactive approach to problem-solving, and the ability to thrive in a dynamic, safety-critical environment.
• You must have the right to work in the UK (sponsorship is not available for this role).

Why You'll Love this Job:

• Salary £35-37,000 depending on experience
• 32 days annual leave (inc. bank holidays), plus your Birthday off and Christmas Eve off.
• 7% employer pension contribution and a company profit-share scheme.
• Healthcare Cash Plan, GP 24/7 service, and other Wellbeing services.
• Full support for CPD and annual subscriptions to professional bodies.
