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
* Supervising and supporting CNC operators across turning and milling operations

* 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
