Join a market-leading road sign manufacturer

Signway Supplies (Datchet) Ltd is a leading designer, manufacturer and installer of permanent road signs, bespoke signage, street name plates and street lighting solutions. Established in 1974, we support customers across the civil engineering and local authority sectors and have built our reputation on quality, reliability and technical expertise.

As our business continues to grow, we are looking for a reliable, organised and detail-focused Sign Print Production Supervisor to take day-to-day responsibility for our print production area. This is a hands-on role combining computer-based print preparation, operation of specialist printing equipment and responsibility for ensuring the workload through the print area is organised, accurate and completed efficiently. Full training will be provided in Signway's specific systems, equipment, products and production processes.

The role

As Sign Print Production Supervisor, you will take ownership of the day-to-day operation of the print production area, ensuring work is prepared, printed and completed accurately and efficiently in line with production requirements.

The role combines computer-based preparation of sign designs and artwork for print with hands-on operation of our printers and associated production equipment.

You will organise and prioritise the workload through the print area, monitor quality and output, ensure

equipment is operated and maintained correctly, and work closely with the wider production team to meet customer requirements and production deadlines. Accuracy and attention to detail are essential, as the products produced will ultimately be installed on roads and highways across the UK.

Your responsibilities will include

· Taking day-to-day ownership of the print production area and its workload

· Organising and prioritising print requirements in line with production needs and customer deadlines

· Using computer software to prepare, convert and check sign designs and artwork ready for printing

· Ensuring print work progresses efficiently through the area and communicating any issues that could affect production

· Ensuring customer and production requirements are accurately followed

· Taking responsibility for the correct operation and routine care of print equipment

· Monitoring equipment condition and arranging or reporting maintenance and faults as required

· Ensuring materials, equipment and the print area remain organised and ready for production

· Maintaining appropriate stock and consumable levels within the print area

· Following company production, quality and health & safety procedures

· Working closely with colleagues across production to achieve targets and customer deadlines

· Supporting and guiding other employees working within the print area where required

· Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, quality and working practices within the area

What we are looking for

We are looking for someone who is comfortable combining practical production work with computer-based processes and taking responsibility for their own area.

Ideally, you will have:

· Strong IT skills and confidence working with computer-based production processes

· Excellent attention to detail and a strong focus on quality

· The ability to organise and prioritise your own workload and the workload of the print area

· A practical, hands-on approach to work

· Confidence operating production equipment and machinery

· The ability to take ownership of problems and see them through to resolution

· Good communication skills

· The confidence to work independently and make sensible day-to-day decisions

· A reliable, organised and methodical approach

· The ability to remain accurate and productive when working to deadlines

· The ability to work effectively as part of a wider production team
