    Job description

    At Hynds, our precast concrete products help build New Zealand's infrastructure — and it's our production teams who make that happen. We're looking for a hands-on Precast Supervisor to lead our precast team in Pokeno: someone who sets the standard on safety and quality, keeps the plan on track, and gets the best out of the people around them.

    If you're a frontline leader who takes pride in a well-run shift, a quality product, and a team that's safe, motivated and firing, we'd love to hear from you.

    The role

    Reporting to the Production Manager, you'll provide day-to-day frontline leadership of our precast production team — driving safety, quality and output while developing your people and keeping the production plan on track.

    Day to day, you'll:

    • Lead the daily supervision of your area, with safety and quality front and centre
    • Keep production on schedule — coordinating resources, moulds, materials and plant to hit daily and weekly targets
    • Own quality control for your area, driving down rework, rejects and waste
    • Champion a safe work culture through visible leadership — toolbox talks, pre-starts, JSEAs, inspections and prompt incident reporting
    • Develop your team leaders and crew, allocate work effectively and lift overall capability
    • Drive continuous improvement and hold the team accountable to KPIs
    • Manage production costs, inventory, housekeeping and asset maintenance to best practice

    About you

    You're a hands-on leader who backs your own judgement and cares about doing the job right. You'll bring:

    • Previous supervisory experience in a precast manufacturing or production environment (essential)
    • Confidence reading and interpreting plans and drawings
    • Gantry / overhead crane skills (ticket 3800)
    • Class 1 licence with F (forklift) endorsement
    • A solid, practical understanding of workshop health and safety
    • An understanding of reinforcement (an advantage)

    Just as important, you're a genuine team player — reliable, safety-focused, a strong communicator, and someone who stays calm and solutions-focused under deadline pressure.

    Benefits

    • Health insurance (subject to eligibility criteria)
    • Access to company partner discounts
    • Employee Assistance Programme
