Your Role

Your role is Production Supervisor. Your daily schedule will include frequent interactions with technicians and engineers, directly reporting to CTO.

Your Job Scope

• Develop and manage production plans and schedules using MRP/ERP systems and inventory management tools to meet build targets and delivery timelines.

• Drive material requirements planning - coordinate component availability, manage stock levels, and prevent production bottlenecks caused by shortages or lead-time gaps.

• Read and interpret engineering drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), and technical specifications to support manufacturing, assembly, and procurement decisions.

• Manage suppliers and sub-contractors, including lead-time negotiation, logistics coordination, and cost optimisation, to strengthen supply chain reliability and resilience.

• Establish and maintain quality control processes, including incoming inspection, QC checklists, nonconformance reports (NCRs), and root cause analysis (RCA), to ensure manufacturing and assembly standards are consistently met.

• Support electromechanical assembly of subsea/marine robotics hardware - AUVs, thrusters, pressure housings, subsea connectors - and contribute to design-for-manufacturability and design-for-assembly improvements.

• Apply lean manufacturing and continuous improvement principles (5S, Kaizen) to improve workflow efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance throughput.

• Develop and maintain production tracking systems and reporting using Excel, ClickUp, or similar project management tools to provide visibility on build status, inventory, and supplier performance.

• Ensure compliance with workplace safety and health standards, including the WSH Act, and conduct risk assessments for manufacturing and assembly activities.

• Coordinate and communicate across design engineering, production technicians, procurement, and management to align production priorities and resolve issues promptly.

Desired Qualities

• Diploma or B.Eng degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Mechatronics, or a related technical field.

• 1-3 years of relevant experience in manufacturing engineering, production planning, supply chain, or operations; experience with marine, subsea, or robotics hardware is a strong plus.

• Hands-on familiarity with MRP/ERP systems and inventory management for production planning and material control.

• Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, BOMs, and technical specifications.

• Working knowledge of quality control methods and documentation (inspection, QC checklists, NCRs, RCA).

• Familiarity with electromechanical assembly and subsea/marine robotics hardware.

• Experience in supplier and sub-contractor management - lead time, logistics, and cost optimisation.

• Proficiency in Excel and production tracking/project management tools such as ClickUp.

• Understanding of lean manufacturing and continuous improvement principles (5S, Kaizen).

• Knowledge of WSH Act compliance and risk assessment.

• Strong coordination and communication skills across engineering, production, and management.

• Self-driven, organised, and dependable; takes ownership of production and supply chain issues through to resolution.

Remuneration Package

• Market competitive salary

• Growth opportunities that align with your direct ability in helping the company, rather than an arbitrary corporate ladder

• Healthcare support
