Tanmiah — a leading food manufacturing and distribution company in Saudi Arabia — is hiring an experienced Production Supervisor to manage and oversee daily shift operations at its manufacturing facility. This is a hands-on, operationally intensive role responsible for interpreting and breaking down production targets, managing shift employees, enforcing GMP and HACCP standards, controlling machine efficiencies and wastage, managing SAP production data, and developing a motivated and compliant production team. Candidates must bring 2–5 years of production supervisory experience in food manufacturing or a related industry, along with strong GMP, HACCP, food safety, and people management capabilities.

Why This Production Supervisor Role at Tanmiah KSA Stands Out: This is a genuine operational leadership position — not a passive oversight role. You will directly plan and organise shift teams, drive production target achievement, enforce quality and safety standards, manage employee development and morale, and handle SAP documentation. For an experienced food manufacturing supervisor in Saudi Arabia who wants to build a meaningful, impactful career in the Kingdom’s growing food production sector, this Tanmiah role offers real responsibility, team leadership, and structured operational accountability from day one.
Position Overview
As a Production Supervisor at Tanmiah in Saudi Arabia, you will take direct responsibility for planning, organising, and leading shift production teams to achieve daily output targets in line with quality, food safety, and operational standards. You will interpret production targets and break them into workstation-level objectives, monitor machine efficiencies and wastage, enforce GMP and HACCP compliance, manage employee attendance and timesheets, handle raw material requests, and maintain all SAP and production documentation. This role also carries significant people leadership responsibility — you will train, mentor, and develop shift employees, handle team queries equitably, and build a motivated, high-performing production team. Compliance with Health & Safety procedures and PPE requirements is a non-negotiable expectation for every shift.
Key Duties & Responsibilities
Production Planning & Shift Management
- Interpret production targets and break them into clear objectives for each workstation per shift — planning and organising shift employees to achieve daily production output targets on time and within quality standards.
- Monitor and ensure all personnel adhere to work instructions and procedures — maintaining operational discipline, process compliance, and consistent productivity across the entire production floor during each shift.
- Optimise machine efficiencies, control wastage, and determine and analyse yield — actively monitoring equipment performance, identifying efficiency losses, and taking corrective steps to maximise output and minimise material waste.
- Ensure customer service levels are met by producing quality products within agreed timeframes — balancing speed, quality, and safety to deliver on customer commitments consistently.
GMP, HACCP & Food Safety Compliance

- Responsible for site hygiene and housekeeping — maintaining a clean, organised, and compliant production environment and ensuring proper disposal of by-products and waste materials in accordance with regulatory requirements.
- Assist in the investigation of internal non-conformities and customer complaints — completing corrective action reports, identifying root causes, and implementing preventive measures to avoid recurrence.
Employee Development & Team Leadership
- Ensure employee development through training, mentoring, and providing skills development requirements to the Factory Manager — building team capability and supporting long-term workforce development on the production floor.
- Increase employee morale and handle shift worker queries equitably and respectfully — without differentiating based on religion, nationality, or race — fostering an inclusive and high-performing team environment.
- Ensure Health and Safety procedures are followed at all times and all employees are using the correct PPE — maintaining a safe working environment for every shift team member on the production floor.
- Monitor attendance and employee time management — ensuring weekly timesheets are accurate, completed on time, and properly documented for payroll and HR purposes.
SAP, Inventory & Administrative Duties
- Request raw materials, manage stock inventory, and maintain all production and SAP-related data and documentation — ensuring accurate and timely data entry for all production activities, material usage, and inventory movements.
- Assist in the implementation of ad-hoc projects as requested by the Factory Manager or Production Manager, and perform any other assignments required in support of production operations and business objectives.
Administrative Duties
- HACCP Documentation — Master Cleaning Schedules and GMP Check Sheets maintenance
- Production Records — accurate filing and management of all production documentation
- Time Management — Employee Timesheet completion and verification
- First Aid & Safety Records — maintaining complete, current health and safety records
