Machine Shop Supervisor
Machine Shop Supervisor - Precision Manufacturing
Oxfordshire
Are you a hands-on leader from a machine shop environment who thrives on driving performance, leading teams, and making a real impact on the shop floor? Would you enjoy leading the manufacture of one of the most technically advanced safety-critical products in aerospace?
We’re working with a highly respected engineering organisation that is investing in its manufacturing capability and looking for a Machine Shop Supervisor to lead a skilled Machine Shop team. This is a rare opportunity to step into a well-established, high-performing environment where your leadership will directly influence output, quality, and team success.
Working with a team of skilled machinists, technicians, and manufacturing specialists, you'll oversee production using a range of CNC machining centres and precision manufacturing equipment, ensuring quality, safety, and delivery remain at the highest standards. This is far more than a traditional shop floor supervisory role. The business is looking for someone who wants to develop into a future Cell Leader, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in their manufacturing leadership career.
