Production Supervisor

The Production Supervisor is responsible for the day-to-day running of the CNC shop floor — ensuring production plans are executed on time, machines and manpower are fully utilised, and quality standards are maintained at every stage. This role is central to converting ParFlow’s machine capacity into reliable output, and to building the production visibility the business currently lacks.
