Are you ready to take your career to the next level?

At Rittal-CSM
, we believe in driving innovation and excellence. Our clients include some of the world’s leading technology companies’ major players in software, hardware, and cloud computing.

We specialise in enclosures, climate control systems, power distribution, and IT infrastructure for industrial and IT applications. Our success is built on a diverse and talented workforce.

We are looking for a passionate and motivated Team Leader to join our Production team. This is an exciting opportunity to take a leading role in supporting our high‑performing manufacturing operations.

As a Team Leader, you will play a key part in driving our mission of delivering excellence in the manufacture of our enclosures. You’ll guide and support your team, help maintain safe and efficient processes, and ensure our products meet the highest standards of quality and performance.

• Maintain strong shop floor presence, promoting safety, quality, and adherence to company standards.
• Coordinate shift handovers and communicate effectively with other Team Leaders and departments.
• Monitor performance, resolve issues, and elevate when needed to achieve daily targets.
• Oversee equipment checks, housekeeping standards, and support continuous improvement activities.
• Update records, audits, and systems (including SAP) accurately and on time.

We welcome candidates from all backgrounds. To succeed, you’ll bring:

• Supervisory Management Level 2 (or similar).
• Experience of people management.
• Experience in problem solving and supporting continuous improvement activities.
• Health & Safety training for Managers and Supervisors.
• Training in key leadership and people‑management topics
• Recognising the Value of Your Team

• Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Level 3 or equivalent.
• Mechanical Engineering knowledge.
• Lean Manufacturing / Quality Systems training.
• Experience using SAP or similar systems.

• Teamwork: Collaborating effectively across diverse teams.
• Training: Commitment to continuous learning and development.
• Communication: Clear and confident communication at all levels.
• Recognition: Respect for diverse perspectives and contributions.

• Opportunity to make a real impact
• Room for innovation and creativity
• Career growth and development
• Collaborative, supportive environment
• Recognition and rewards

• A company wide bonus based on attendance, productivity and quality
• 33 days annual leave (including bank holidays) plus holiday purchasing scheme
• Life insurance 3 x your salary
• Pension contributions matched to 5%
• Access to our Westfield Health provision
• Access to our Smart Spending platform
