Polyurethane Foam Panel Continuous Production Supervisor

الوصف الوظيفي

We are looking for an experienced and technically sharp Production Supervisor to take full responsibility for the day-to‑day performance of our continuous polyurethane (PU) foam panel manufacturing line. You will be the single point of accountability for output quality, line efficiency, team safety, and shift discipline across a team of labourers, machine technicians, and quality checkers.

This is a hands‑on leadership role — you will be on the floor, solving problems in real time, coaching your team, and driving measurable improvements in line efficiency, scrap reduction, and throughput. If you have deep PU foam process knowledge, thrive in production environments, and know how to get the best out of a diverse shift team, this role is built for you.

• Oversee the entire continuous PU foam panel production line, including decoiling, high‑pressure foaming, double‑belt lamination, cutting, and stacking — ensuring daily output targets are met to specification and on schedule.
• Monitor process variables such as foam temperature, mixing pressure, conveyor speed, foam density, panel thickness, and facing adhesion in real time — intervening immediately when parameters drift outside tolerance.
• Manage machine changeovers and material adjustments (e.g., thickness, width, profile changes) for different customer orders, minimising line downtime during transitions.
• Coordinate with the Planning & Logistics team to align production sequences with dispatch schedules, raw material availability, and custom order requirements.

• Lead and manage a team of labourers, machine technicians, and QC checkers across multi‑shift operations — assigning tasks, managing shift rotas, and resolving personnel issues.
• Before each shift, ensure all team members are clear on daily production targets, quality standards, and safety protocols, and that their stations are correctly set up and ready to run.
• Mentor and develop team members through structured on‑the‑job training, skill assessments, and performance conversations — building a bench of capable, cross‑trained labourers.

• Enforce first article and in‑process inspection routines for all panel specifications including PIR/PUR density, compressive strength, dimensional accuracy, and surface finish. Any deviation must be caught and corrected immediately before it propagates down the line.
• Monitor raw material mixing ratios (polyol and isocyanate) closely to ensure the desired foam characteristics are consistently achieved.
• Inspect finished panels and quarantine any items that do not meet specifications; maintain accurate records of foam density, panel thickness, and edge quality.
• Investigate and root‑cause non‑conformances (NCRs), scrap events, or customer complaints; implement corrective actions and document findings.
• Maintain compliance with ISO 9001 QMS procedures and support internal audits as required.

• Enforce all HSE policies on the production floor including PPE compliance, chemical handling (isocyanates, polyols), Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, and emergency response protocols.
• Conduct daily safety walks and toolbox talks — building a zero‑incident culture across all shifts.
• Work with the maintenance team to perform and coordinate preventive maintenance on the double‑belt conveyor, cutting system, and high‑pressure foaming portal — resolving minor faults independently and escalating complex breakdowns promptly to minimise downtime.

• Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly production reports covering output volumes, downtime events, scrap levels, and quality metrics; present findings in the weekly operations review.
• Lead 6S initiatives and continuous improvement projects on the shop floor, identifying and eliminating waste in material handling, changeovers, and line stoppages.
• Track shift KPIs including line efficiency, scrap rate, rework hours, and on‑time production — using data to drive performance conversations with the team.

• Solid working…
