What we’re looking for:
Proven management experience within a fast-paced production, manufacturing or operational environment

A hands-on management style – someone comfortable being visible on the shop floor
Strong understanding of KPIs, productivity, labour efficiency and operational performance
Experience improving processes, reducing waste or increasing output
Commercially aware with the confidence to make operational decisions

This is a great opportunity for an experienced operational leader who wants more than simply maintaining the status quo. You’ll be joining a growing business where you can influence performance, develop people and make a visible impact on the operation.
