Production Supervisor; Night shift

Finnebrogue is a leading UK-based food producer within the global Sofina Foods Group. We look at what is wrong with food to figure out how to make it the best it can be. Operating from four facilities in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland, Finnebrogue supplies major supermarkets with own-label bacon, sausages, burgers, and vegetarian products, as well as its pioneering Naked range made without nitrites.

We have been recognised as the UK’s Employer of the Year by Grocer Gold and the Best Place to Work in Northern Ireland by the Irish News Workplace & Employment Awards. Our robust People Strategy offers career pathways and development opportunities for all employees, emphasising talent growth and wellbeing with generous benefits for all. We are proud to be the first food producer in the UK and Ireland to achieve the Diversity Mark accreditation and are committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace.

Globally, Sofina Foods and its wholly owned subsidiaries operate more than 40 sites and have over 14,000 employees in Canada, UK, Island of Ireland, Germany and France.

You will play a vital role within the production site team, demonstrating key leadership skills to develop and manage a team of production and machine operatives. You will have accountability for delivering some of the most innovative food products on the market in line with the quality standards that Finnebrogue has been renowned for. Working with a daily production plan you will have full autonomy and responsibility for production outputs including labour and material.

Experience in a similar role is advantageous; however, if you are self-motivated, have experience leading a team, or are working in a manufacturing environment and ready for your next challenge, we will provide full training to help you fulfil your potential.
