Certainly. Here’s a ready-to-post job advertisement tailored to a manufacturing company producing
extruded flexible synthetic rubber/plastic profiles
. I’ve emphasized hands-on extrusion experience rather than academic qualifications.
Production Manager
Extruded Flexible Synthetic Rubber Profiles
We are looking for an experienced and hands-on
Production Manager
to lead our extrusion production operations. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing daily production, manpower, product quality, machine performance and continuous improvement.
This position is particularly suitable for someone with strong practical experience in
extrusion manufacturing of flexible synthetic rubber, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE/TPV), flexible PVC or similar flexible profiles
.
Key Responsibilities
Plan, organise and supervise daily extrusion production to meet delivery schedules and production targets.
Lead and manage production operators, technicians and shift personnel.
Set up, monitor and optimise extrusion processes, including temperature profiles, screw speed, line speed, cooling and downstream equipment.
Troubleshoot extrusion problems such as dimensional variation, surface defects, inconsistent output, material degradation and process instability.
Ensure extruded profiles meet required
dimensions, tolerances, appearance and physical properties
.
Coordinate tooling/die changes, machine setup and production changeovers.
Monitor material usage, scrap, production yield and machine downtime.
Improve productivity, cycle time, energy efficiency and overall equipment utilisation.
Work closely with Quality, Engineering, Maintenance, Warehouse and Management.
Train and develop production employees and establish proper operating procedures.
Maintain production records, work instructions and process parameters.
Ensure machinery, tooling and production areas are properly maintained.
Enforce workplace safety, housekeeping and manufacturing procedures.
Investigate production problems and implement corrective and preventive actions.
Requirements
Strong practical experience in
extrusion manufacturing
, preferably flexible profiles.
Experience with materials such as
synthetic rubber, TPE, TPV, flexible PVC or other thermoplastic/elastomer materials
would be advantageous.
Good understanding of extrusion machinery, dies/tooling, cooling systems, pullers, cutters and other downstream equipment.
Strong troubleshooting ability and understanding of how
material, temperature, pressure, screw speed and line speed
affect product quality.
Experience supervising and developing a production team.
Able to plan production and manage competing delivery priorities.
Comfortable working directly on the production floor and solving problems hands-on.
Good communication and leadership skills.
Diploma, technical qualification or equivalent manufacturing experience preferred.
Candidates with extensive relevant hands-on extrusion experience will also be considered even without higher academic qualifications.
What We Value
We are looking for someone who can
lead from the production floor
, not simply manage from the office.
The right candidate should be able to:
Understand the extrusion process technically.
Identify problems quickly and make practical decisions.
Earn the respect of experienced operators.
Train and develop younger production employees.
Improve production efficiency without compromising quality.
Take ownership of production output, quality and delivery.
