acts on losses the same shift.\nData-driven - measures before improving; uses OEE and loss data to decide priorities.\nQuality mindset - will stop the line rather than ship a doubtful connection.\nCoaching - develops machinists and builds multi-skill cover across machines and grades.\nCollaboration - works constructively with the Machine Shop Manager, inspection, QA, HSE, planning, procurement, sales, customers, suppliers and licensors.\nIntegrity - complies with company policy, NOV Code of Conduct and UAE regulations.\n Production planning and order execution\nReview customer purchase orders and work orders for connection type, size, weight, grade, drawing revision and special requirements before release.\n\nCoordinate with the production planner to effectively plan and sequence the line daily and weekly to group connection types, sizes and grades, minimising changeovers and protecting delivery dates.\n\nLoad work to machines and keep every CNC manned and running across shifts; manage shift rosters, handovers and staff movement.\n\nTrack customer orders through machining, inspection, surface treatment, make-up and dispatch; escalate risks to delivery early.\n\nCross-shop coordination, sales and material supply\nWork with the Machine Shop Manager to plan shared capacity across both shops - machines, people, tooling and gauges - so resources are used where they add most output.\n\nBalance loading between the shops, share skilled machinists and equipment during peaks, and avoid idle capacity or duplicated setups.\n\nAct as the technical point of contact for the sales team on connection, grade and specification questions; review enquiries for manufacturability, lead time and special requirements before quotation.\n\nSupport sales in clarifying technical specifications with customers - drawings, licensor requirements, surface treatment, inspection and documentation - and resolve deviations before order acceptance.\n\nCoordinate with stores, procurement and raw material suppliers on bar stock, coupling stock and pipe availability, grade, dimensions and lead times.\n\nConfirm incoming and free-issue material against the order specification and mill certificates before cutting; flag shortfalls or non-compliant material early and agree alternatives with sales and the customer.\n\nCNC performance, productivity and OEE\nAct as the line's technical lead on the installed CNC threading lathes: setups, offsets, tooling, programme proving and troubleshooting.\n\nEstablish and report OEE (availability × performance × quality) per machine and shift; drive it up from the current baseline to agreed targets.\n\nCut setup and changeover times (SMED); standardise setup sheets and tool kits per connection and size.\n\nOptimise cycle times and cutting parameters with the machinists and programmers without compromising thread quality.\n\nRun daily production boards and short-interval shift reviews; act on downtime, speed losses and rework causes the same day.\n\nLead structured problem solving (5 Whys, root cause, Kaizen) on recurring losses and contribute to the site operational excellence programme.\n\nQuality\nImplement the company Quality Management System.\n\nSupport QA/QC on non-conforming product; raise and close non-conformances in the company QAR system with root cause and corrective action.\n\nDrive right-first-time threading: reduce re-cuts, scrap and customer returns.\n\nPeople and leadership\nLead, coach and discipline machinists, operators and gauge inspectors; build multi-skilling across machines, connection types and grades.\n\nPlan and deliver on-the-job training and licensor-required qualifications for direct reports.\n\nCommunicate clearly with customers, management, the inspection team and other NOV divisions.\n\nCost, reporting and assets\nControl labour hours, overtime, tooling and consumables cost per connection; report revenue and output against plan.\n\nPurchase consumables, inserts, gauges and materials within approved authority.\n\nCapture metrics in the site reporting system (SharePoint / JDE) and present at monthly and quarterly reviews.\n\nEnsure preventive maintenance of CNC machines, phosphating/plating equipment, bucking unit, jib cranes and compressors to protect availability.\n\n Diploma in Mechanical or Production Engineering, or technical trade qualification with equivalent experience.\n7+ years in OCTG threading, including 3+ years supervising a premium connection threading line.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4555,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":3,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Petroleum & Mining Engineering","Oil & Gas"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T16:36:26Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":40,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nov-octg-shop-supervisor","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nov-octg-shop-supervisor.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T18:30:41Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":38802,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1814757},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1814757"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnov-octg-shop-supervisor"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnov-octg-shop-supervisor"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnov-octg-shop-supervisor"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nov-octg-shop-supervisor\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnov-octg-shop-supervisor"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3754847}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"nov.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3754847},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
