Senior / Production Supervisor (Bedok)

Sanmina Corporation (Nasdaq: SANM) is a global powerhouse in integrated manufacturing solutions serving the fastest growing segments of the global Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) market. We are a global engine providing the end-to-end manufacturing backbone for the world's most essential and innovative brands. Whether it's autonomous vehicles, life-saving medical tech, next-gen aerospace, or AI/cloud infrastructure - our integrated solutions don’t just meet standards—they redefine them.

Summary

We are seeking an operational, drive-focused Production Supervisor to take ownership of shift performance, daily throughput targets, and process yield goals on our manufacturing floor. In this role, you will lead end-to-end shift handovers, optimize line balancing and floor layouts alongside Engineering, and spearhead Lean Six Sigma initiatives to eliminate operational waste. You will also mentor junior supervisory talent, enforce strict standard operating procedures, maintain 5S+ and safety benchmarks, and ensure rigorous compliance with Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) labor and operational standards.

What You'll Do

• Take direct accountability for meeting daily production output targets and process yield goals, executing prompt interventions whenever metrics are at risk.

• Manage shift handovers and inter-departmental coordination to maintain uninterrupted production flow and eliminate transition gaps between shifts.

• Initiate and execute Lean Six Sigma (LSS) projects to shorten cycle times, drive productivity, and remove operational waste.

• Dynamically optimize resource and manpower allocation across production lines to clear bottlenecks and balance workloads.

• Partner closely with Engineering teams on shop-floor layout optimizations to reduce travel time and maximize floor space utilization.

• Audit shop-floor assembly activities regularly to enforce strict operator compliance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and quality protocols.

• Instill and uphold high standards of workforce discipline, teamwork, and accountability across the production department.

• Train, coach, and develop junior Production Supervisors in supervisory leadership and technical problem-solving.

• Drive robust 5S+ standards across workbenches, tools, fixtures, and line demarcation areas within assigned production sections.

• Review and update SOPs regularly to reflect process improvements and best practices.

• Champion workplace safety by ensuring team adherence to all established operational and environmental health standards.

• Ensure all production operations strictly comply with Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) regulations and labor standards.

• Perform other production management and operational duties as assigned.

What You'll Bring

• GCE "A" Level, ITC, or Diploma in Engineering or an equivalent qualification.

• Minimum 2 to 5 years of supervisory experience within a PCBA manufacturing environment is preferred.

• Strong supervisory leadership, line management, and interpersonal communication skills.

• Practical working knowledge of PCBA manufacturing processes, in-line testing methodologies, and soldering rework standards is preferable.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications or Google Workspace tools.

• Willingness and ability to commit to permanent afternoon or night shift schedules.

How to Stand Out

The ideal candidate combines seasoned shift leadership in a fast-paced PCBA facility with a relentless focus on yield attainment, downtime elimination, and Lean Six Sigma line enhancements. You distinguish yourself through an ability to balance line resource constraints on the fly, cultivate future supervisory talent, maintain an audit-ready 5S+ environment, and sustain full compliance with RBA and quality governance across non-standard shifts.
