Production Shift Supervisor
Production & Manufacturing · Wolfsburg, Germany
JB-533 · Proficient (B2) · 1 openings
A plastics moulder in Heinenkamp supplies interior parts to the vehicle plants around Wolfsburg and runs 22 injection machines around the clock. One shift supervisor is needed for the late shift team of 14 people, on a permanent contract.
About role
You lead 14 machine operators and two setters through the shift: staffing the machines at handover, releasing the first part after each tool change, and moving people when a machine stops. You track output and scrap per machine, sign off the quality records and call the setter or maintenance yourself when a cycle drifts. Absences, holiday requests and the training list for new starters are yours to keep in order. The late shift runs 14:00-22:00 with a rotation to earlies every fourth week, and you brief the next supervisor for ten minutes at the end.
Who's a fit?
Trade training in plastics, metal or a technical field
At least three years in production and one leading a team
Confident reading output, scrap and cycle time data
Calm handling of absences, conflicts and a stopped machine
Willing to rotate late and early shifts
Good German or English, because handover and records are written
Forklift licence is useful, the plant pays for it otherwise

Net salary from 2347 up to 2580 EUR per month
Permanent contract with a supervisor allowance on top
Late shift supplement of 15 percent, night 25 percent

Promotion terms
The next production manager will come from the three shift supervisors, and the plant says so openly. It pays the industrial foreman school in Braunschweig for supervisors who want the qualification.
Work environment
A clean moulding hall at 24 degrees with granulate silos, robot cells behind guards and a glazed shift office on the floor. Ear protection, safety shoes and gloves for hot tools are supplied.
