Why Should You Apply?

A Clear Progression Path:
This isn’t just another job; it is a long‑term succession plan. There is a genuine opportunity for you to step up to Production Manager and eventually even join the board of directors.

Impact:
You will provide input on the daily operations of the injection moulding department, your ideas will be listened to, and you will have the opportunity to make improvements.

Close-Knit Culture:
Join a well-established manufacturer that takes pride in a non-corporate, "close-knit" environment where you are more than just a number.

Diverse Technical Challenges:
Work with a wide range of machinery, from 40T to 2700T, serving important industries like construction and drainage.

• Hands-On: In addition to leading the team, you will operate and run machines. As a small business, all team members are required to be hands‑on.
• Lead and Mentor: You will manage a team of operators and supervise three experienced shift supervisors, assuring smooth handovers and providing daily leadership.
• Process Optimisation: Monitor moulding processes to meet scrap and cycle‑time targets, and conduct material and tool trials.
• Technical Oversight: Perform safe and efficient tool changes and handle troubleshooting or basic machine maintenance when the team needs your expertise.
• Quality & Safety: Maintain high housekeeping standards and make sure all activities comply with ISO standards and health and safety requirements.
• New Products: Help to design new products and support with new product introduction projects.

• Salary:
  Up to £45,000 (dependent on experience).
• Yearly Bonus: A performance‑related bonus based on annual turnover, often equivalent to roughly one month’s wages.
• Holiday Allowance: 23 days plus bank holidays, increasing to 25 days after five years of service.
• Benefits: 4% pension, complimentary refreshments, and a uniform are provided.
• Future Growth:
  The ultimate benefit is the defined path toward company directorship.

• Technical Expertise: A strong background in plastic injection moulding, including deep knowledge of machines, tooling, processing and robot programming.
• Leadership Skills: Proven experience supervising teams with the ability to communicate effectively across all levels of the business.
• Solution‑Oriented Mindset: You should be self‑motivated, able to work independently, and comfortable making supervisory decisions.
• CAD: Experience with Solid Works or a similar CAD package would be an advantage.
