Cape Town, South Africa Versus Socks Full time
Job Title: Factory Floor Manager

Location: Saxenburg Park 1, Blackheath, Cape Town, South Africa

About Us:

Versus Socks is a fast-growing, leading performance sock company dedicated to providing active individuals with high-quality, innovative, and stylish socks. We believe in pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo to deliver products that are exciting and performance driven. We're on a mission to become the performance socks world champs and are building a world championship team.

Job Overview: 

We are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Factory Floor Manager to oversee the daily operations of our production floor. It is not necessary to have socks-specific knowledge - all necessary technical skills will be taught. 

The ideal candidate will have strong leadership skills, a deep understanding of manufacturing processes, and the ability to ensure smooth and efficient production in a fast-paced environment. This role involves managing staff, monitoring workflows, and optimising productivity while ensuring full compliance with safety and quality control standards.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Oversee day-to-day factory operations and work closely with the Production Manager, ensuring production targets are met efficiently and within deadlines.
  • Supervise and coordinate the activities of production staff, ensuring adherence to policies and procedures.
  • Monitor production schedules, ensuring proper workflow and timely completion of products.
  • Enforce safety regulations and ensure that all workers are trained in and follow safety protocols.
  • Identify and resolve production issues and bottlenecks to maintain a smooth and efficient operation.
  • Ensure strict adherence to all quality control protocols, guaranteeing products consistently meet company standards and specifications.
  • Collaborate with other departments (e.g., supply chain, quality control, maintenance) to streamline processes and improve overall efficiency.
  • Motivate and mentor staff, providing guidance and fostering a positive, productive work environment.
  • Manage inventory levels of raw materials and finished products to support uninterrupted production.
  • Recruitment & Onboarding: Collaborate with HR/Operations to recruit, interview, and select candidates for open positions. Facilitate a comprehensive onboarding program for new hires to help them integrate smoothly.
  • Performance Management: Conduct regular performance reviews, address performance issues, and develop improvement plans where necessary. Recognize high performers and encourage growth opportunities.
  • Conflict Resolution: Act as a first point of contact for any employee concerns or conflicts on the floor, working closely with HR/Operations to resolve issues fairly and in line with company policy.

Key Requirements:

  • Proven experience as a Factory Floor Manager, Production Supervisor, or a similar role in a manufacturing environment.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills with the ability to manage and motivate a diverse team.
  • Solid understanding of manufacturing processes, production management, and workflow optimization.
  • Familiarity with industry safety standards and the ability to enforce them consistently.
  • Strong focus on quality control with the ability to ensure compliance with all protocols.
  • Proficient in various production management software and tools, with strong computer skills to analyze data effectively.
  • Excellent organizational and time-management skills.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities to address production challenges effectively.
  • Ability to perform well under pressure and meet tight deadlines.
