Marker Supervisor

The Marker Supervisor is responsible for leading the marking team engaged in transferring cutting and fabrication data from approved engineering drawings onto steel plates and sections, ensuring dimensional accuracy, material optimisation, and adherence to production schedules for ship block and hull fabrication work.

• Study and interpret approved fabrication, cutting, and nesting drawings issued by the Design/Planning department.
• Supervise and allocate daily marking work to the marking team as per production schedule and priority list.
• Ensure accurate marking of plates and sections for cutting, including part numbers, orientation marks, bend lines, and reference/datum lines.
• Verify plate thickness, grade, and dimensions against drawing requirements before marking commences.
• Optimise plate/material utilisation through efficient nesting layouts to minimise wastage.
• Coordinate with the Cutting (Gas/Plasma/CNC) section to ensure marked plates are released in correct sequence.
• Cross-check marked plates for accuracy and completeness prior to handover for cutting; rectify discrepancies promptly.
• Maintain marking records, plate identification logs, and material traceability documentation.
• Liaise with QA/QC for dimensional checks and resolve marking-related non-conformities.
• Report drawing discrepancies, revisions, or material shortages to the Production Manager/Site Engineer without delay.
• Enforce safety practices and proper use of PPE within the marking area.
• Train and guide marking assistants on drawing reading, tools, and marking standards.
• Maintain daily progress reports and update production tracking sheets/registers.
