Production Supervisor

Salary: £36,660 per annum
Location: Dudley
Permanent | Days

SourceCo are recruiting a Production Supervisor to oversee a CNC machining department within a long established UK manufacturing business specialising in bespoke, heavy duty engineered components.

This is a hands on supervisory role, suited to someone with a strong CNC machining background who enjoys problem solving, supporting operators, and taking ownership of complex, low volume work.

The Role:

You'll be responsible for the day to day supervision of the CNC department, ensuring work is planned, sequenced, and delivered safely, efficiently, and to specification.

Key responsibilities include:

* Supervising and supporting CNC operators across turning and milling operations

* Reading and interpreting detailed technical drawings

* Planning machining centres, job sequences, and workflows

* Troubleshooting issues relating to parts, machines, tooling, and processes

* Acting as the technical go-to on the shop floor

* Working closely with management to resolve production challenges

* Maintaining high standards of quality, safety, and output

The work is bespoke, varied, and technically demanding — you'll be expected to think on your feet and find solutions.

What We're Looking For:

* Minimum 3 years' technical machining experience (ideally apprentice-trained)

* Strong understanding of engineering drawings

* Experience working with lathes and milling machines

* Desired - Background in a bespoke or heavy engineering workshop (rather than high volume production environment)

* Confident communicator, able to support and guide operators

* Previous supervisory or team leading experience is preferred but not essential

Why Apply?

* Join a business with a strong reputation and long-term stability

* Varied, interesting work — no repetitive production runs

* Genuine autonomy (make independent, self directed decisions) and responsibility on the shop floor

* Permanent role with clear expectations and scope to make an impact
