Production Manager

At Northwood Hygiene Products
, your day begins with a clear focus: leading with humility, embedding a culture of compliance, and zero‑harm by choice, and ensuring shifts are well‑resourced and ready to roll.

Continuous Improvement: you will promote and utilise lean manufacturing tools and techniques, integrating these across the site.

Communication is crucial: you will liaise closely with Shift Managers and the CI Manager to maximise productivity, minimise waste, and manage costs from waste control and labour, to materials and consumables.

You will be taking a leading role in supporting the site in effectively maintaining audit standards relating to BRCGS, ISO 9001, ISO 45001, and SMETA Sedex.

From overseeing multiple areas including manufacturing, P&L and budgets, and people management, this role will position you well as a candidate for future senior roles within the business.

We are looking for a commercially‑minded and people‑centred leader, resilient, results‑driven, and committed to empowering a team.

• A hands‑on approach and willingness to support a busy team
• An improvement‑focused growth mindset
• At least 5 years’ Production Management experience within FMCG Manufacturing environments
• Green Belt or Lean/Six Sigma Black Belt
• Demonstrable experience in delivering a significant change/transformation project
