A manufacturing business is looking to recruit two Production Managers to take joint responsibility for a large-scale warehouse operation of circa 65 staff, reporting directly into the Operations Manager.
This role would suit a strong Supervisor, Team Leader or Shift Manager ready to step up, or an existing Production Manager who is comfortable managing people in a fast-paced, industrial environment.
The business is looking for someone with presence, someone who can lead from the front, hold standards, and drive performance, rather than trying to be everyone's friend.
Key Responsibilities:
- Oversee the full production and warehouse process, from goods in through to dispatch
- Manage, develop and drive performance of Supervisors, Team Leaders and wider shop floor teams
- Take ownership of labour control, including overtime and overall cost management
- Ensure adherence to FIFO, stock accuracy, and customer specifications
- Reduce scrap and improve overall operational efficiency
- Handle recruitment, training, performance management and disciplinary processes
- Maintain strong Health & Safety standards and ensure full compliance across site
- Support cross-functional teams including Transport, Sales and Quality
- Drive continuous improvement across processes, people and shift patterns
Requirements:
- Background in manufacturing, ideally§ heavy industry, automotive or similar
- Experience managing large teams within a production or warehouse environment
- Strong leadership style, able to challenge, influence and drive standards
- Comfortable working in a structured, process-driven environment
This is a key hire for the business, offering the opportunity to take real ownership of a large operation and play a major part in driving performance across site.
