Maintenance Supervisory and Team Leadership Skills
Technicians promoted into maintenance supervisory roles across African operations are usually strong artisans but rarely trained to lead people, plan work or manage a shift. This programme builds the supervisory skills maintenance leads need, from daily work allocation and safety oversight to handling underperformance and communicating with production, so that technical strength translates into effective team leadership.
What you will be able to do
Plan and allocate daily maintenance work across a team with mixed skill levels.
Apply basic labour relations and disciplinary procedure correctly within South African law.
Lead safety toolbox talks and reinforce safe work behaviour on the shop floor.
Communicate maintenance status and constraints clearly to production and operations teams.
Coach underperforming team members and manage conflict within the maintenance team.
Track team performance against maintenance targets and report progress upward.
