You’ll coordinate resources, resolve production challenges, and drive continuous improvement in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

We’re looking for a proactive and organised leader with experience in a manufacturing or production environment. You’ll be confident in supervising teams, managing workloads, and working collaboratively with stakeholders across the business. A strong focus on health & safety, quality, and team development is key, along with the ability to prioritise effectively and deliver results in a dynamic production setting.
