Head of Manufacturing

High Growth, High Volume Operation | Multi-Site Leadership

Ready to take the lead in a fast‑paced, high volume manufacturing environment where your decisions shape performance, culture, and long‑term success?

We’re searching for a Head of Manufacturing who thrives in complex operational settings and knows how to bring the best out of large teams. This is your opportunity to step into a pivotal role within a dynamic organisation that values pace, precision, and continuous improvement.

• Leading a sizeable and dedicated operational workforce (150+ people)
• End‑to‑end manufacturing performance, productivity, and process excellence.
• Building a culture based on empowerment, accountability, and collaboration.
• Managing high‑volume day‑to‑day operations that demand clarity, structure, and strong leadership.

• Proven success managing large operational teams in fast‑moving environments.
• A naturally engaging leadership style – clear communicator, inspiring coach, visible presence on the ground.
• Strong track record and credibility in deploying lean, continuous improvement and process optimisation.
• A passion for building high‑performing teams and improving ways of working.
• The confidence to challenge, the curiosity to innovate, and the drive to deliver.

This is a rare chance to shape a manufacturing operation with full backing from the senior team. You’ll have the scope to influence, improve, and elevate performance — with the autonomy to build something exceptional and the support to make it happen.

If you’re a hands‑on, people‑focused leader who knows how to navigate complexity and inspire at scale, we’d love to hear from you.
