Production Supervisor – Food Manufacturing
Spalding | £30,000 - £35,000 | 3’s & 2’s (06:00–18:00) | Permanent | Site-Based
If you're a Production Supervisor who prefers being on the floor over being behind a desk – this might be your next move.
This Production Supervisor role is all about leading from the front. You’ll be running shifts, managing a team, solving problems in real-time, and making sure everything from start-up to handover runs like it should.
You know what factory life’s like – fast, pressured, full of curveballs. And as Production Supervisor, you’ll be the one keeping your area on track when plans inevitably change.
This is a 3’s & 2’s shift pattern (06:00–18:00), known as the Blue Shift. It’s not for everyone, but it gives you long weekends every other week – and once you're into the rhythm, it works.
What a Production Supervisor actually does here:-
Lead the team. Own the shift. Fix the issues.
-
Make sure labour, materials and machines are all lined up at the start.

Be visible – not just during start-up and shutdown, but throughout the shift.

-
Hit your KPIs while keeping safety and quality rock solid.
-
Identify weak spots, support your team, and drive improvements.

-
You know how to lead under pressure, keep people motivated and standards high.
-
You’re not afraid to challenge underperformance – but you do it the right way.

Most of all, you’re hands-on, switched-on, and committed to making your area run better every single day.
-
£30,000 – £35,000 salary (depending on experience)
