About the role
More Workers are recruiting for an experienced Supervisor to join the Paint Shop department of an established manufacturing business based in Sutton, Surrey.

What we’re looking for
We’re looking for a confident, approachable Supervisor who enjoys managing people and can bring structure, organisation and accountability to a busy working environment.
Ideally, you’ll have:
- Previous supervisory or team management experience within manufacturing, production, engineering, assembly or a similar hands‑on environment.
- Experience managing permanent and temporary workers.
- Strong communication and people management skills.
- The confidence to address performance issues and have difficult conversations when needed.
- Good organisational skills and the ability to manage changing priorities.
- A practical, proactive approach to problem‑solving.
- The ability to take ownership, make decisions and work collaboratively with other departments.
