Our client is a well-established New Zealand natural health manufacturer, known for producing high-quality products. They’re seeking a Production Supervisor to lead day-to-day operations across their busy site.

Working closely with the Production Operations Manager, you’ll oversee multiple production rooms — ensuring safe, efficient, GMP-compliant manufacture while lifting team capability and driving continuous improvement.

What you’ll do:

• Lead daily production across syrup/tonic, packaging, herb extraction, pharma rooms, and project areas.
• Deliver production schedules and manage labour allocation, shift boards, and workflow.
• Ensure full GMP, Medsafe/TGA, SOP, BMR, documentation, line clearance, and cleaning compliance.
• Mentor and support operators, fostering a positive and accountable team culture.
• Uphold site safety through hazard reporting, PPE compliance, and routine checks.
• Oversee equipment readiness: set-up, sanitisation, troubleshooting, and escalation.
• Support planning, root-cause investigations, and continuous improvement to optimise throughput and reduce waste.

What we’re looking for:

• 2–5+ years in manufacturing/production (pharma, FMCG, food, supplements ideal).
• Strong knowledge of GMP, quality systems, and batch documentation.
• Proven leadership/supervisory experience in fast-paced operations.
• A calm, confident communicator and effective coach.
• Highly organised, proactive, and strong at problem-solving.
• ERP/MRP literacy (e.g., ABEL) and comfort with digital documentation.
• A fair, consistent, safety-focused leader who leads by example.

What’s in it for you:

• A stable full-time leadership role with a respected NZ manufacturer.
• Influence over production planning, workflow optimisation, and CI initiatives.
• A supportive manager who encourages development and empowers leaders.
• Variety across multiple production rooms — no two days the same.
• A workplace culture grounded in safety, quality, and professional growth.
