As a key people leader in the production directorate, the role reports directly to the Production Manager (PM). In the absence of the Production Manager, the Supervisor/s will have delegated functional and disciplinary authority over the operational program and all colleagues within the department. Strategic and financial decisions will at all time remain with the Production Manager. Dependent on the set-up of the department, the Supervisor may have dedicated functional responsibilities, yet it will remain that the Supervisor has an overarching mandate to support all of the Production Manager Duties and responsibilities.
