You’ll lead a food manufacturing operation of approximately 100 people, with four Team Leaders reporting directly to you across production, prep, packing and service.
And those Team Leaders are a big part of the opportunity.
They’re young, bright and ambitious. They’ve stepped up, they’re doing a good job and they want to learn. What they need now is an experienced Production Manager who will coach them, challenge them and give them the confidence to make their own decisions.

You’ll have the freedom to look at how the department operates, identify where performance is being lost and work with the team to make practical improvements.
You’ll be responsible for:
You’ll need experience leading a sizeable team within a fast-paced food manufacturing environment. Chilled, short shelf life product exposure would be particularly useful, especially if you can demonstrate improvements in yield, but it isn’t essential.
This is a role for someone who wants to be visible, build a strong team and leave the operation better than they found it.
