Serve as the site's H&S champion. Implement, monitor, and enforce strict safety protocols, risk assessments, and compliance standards relative to woodworking and manufacturing environments.
* Quality Assurance:
Ensure all manufactured products adhere strictly to UK fire safety regulations, certification requirements (e.g., Q-Mark/BWF), and internal quality benchmarks.
* Team Leadership:
Lead, motivate, and develop the production and logistics teams. Manage staff scheduling, performance reviews, and training programs.
* Continuous Improvement:
Identify bottlenecks in production or logistics and implement lean manufacturing principles to improve yield, reduce waste, and lower operational costs.

Excellent communication and people management skills, with the ability to lead by example on the shop floor.
