This role may qualify, but only under another code
Our best guess, SOC 5250, is not on the eligible-occupation list. The job could also be SOC 1121, which is on it, so we rate it Possible at most. Ask Morrisons what the duties are.
We pick the code from the advert's text, so it is our best guess, not the employer's. Each code it could be has its own likelihood:
- Ineligible 5250 (Skilled metal, electrical and electronic trades supervisors) · 56% match
- Possible 1121 (Production managers and directors in manufacturing) · 21% match
- Ineligible 8160 (Production, factory and assembly supervisors) · 8% match
About the role
We are looking for an Engineering Shift Manager to join us. This role is critical to ensuring the smooth operation of the manufacturing site.
Responsibilities in more detail:
- Minimising Machinery Downtime: The engineering team plays a crucial role in minimising machinery downtime. This involves proactive maintenance, predictive maintenance, and swift response to unexpected breakdowns. The team must ensure that equipment is operational to maintain production schedules.
- Improving Performance: The team should continually seek opportunities to enhance equipment performance without compromising product quality. This can involve optimising processes, implementing upgrades, or using data-driven approaches to identify areas for improvement.
- Engineer Engagement: Keeping the engineering team engaged and motivated is important for productivity and innovation. This might involve fostering a positive work environment, providing training and development opportunities, and recognising and rewarding achievements.
- Asset Care Programme: Leading and supporting the Morrisons asset care programme is a key responsibility. This program likely includes strategies for maintaining and prolonging the life of assets, reducing maintenance costs, and ensuring the team adheres to best practices.
- Hands-On Approach: Being hands-on in repairing and optimising equipment assets is crucial. This hands-on involvement from the team leader can set an example for the rest of the team and ensure that issues are addressed promptly.
- Maintenance Coordination: Coordinating maintenance priorities with the Maintenance team is vital for ensuring that maintenance activities are planned and executed efficiently. This coordination helps prevent production disruptions and ensures that resources are allocated effectively.
- Crisis Incident Management: Being prepared to handle crisis incidents, accidents, and near misses is essential for maintaining a safe working environment. This includes conducting investigations and taking appropriate corrective actions.
