A major player in the UK food supply chain is seeking a Senior Production Manager in Lincoln. The role emphasizes operational leadership, data-driven decision-making, and labor efficiency in a high-volume environment. Candidates should have experience in fast-paced manufacturing, be proficient in Excel, and have the capability to manage and develop teams. A consistent shift pattern and autonomy in operations are significant draws for this position.

I am currently representing a major player in the UK food supply chain that is looking for a heavyweight Senior Production Manager. My client doesn't need a "supervisor" or someone to just keep the seats warm; they need a sharp, operationally minded leader. This is a site that handles massive volumes, meaning the margins for error on giveaway, wastage, and labour efficiency are priority. They need someone who understands the "why" behind the data and has the personality to drive those improvements on the floor. Operational Focus Driving Yield: You'll be digging into crop utilisation and giveaway. The client expects a leader who can partner with Engineering and Tech to run trials and shave off inefficiencies. Labor Mastery: You'll handle the heavy lifting of labor forecasting and agency management. You'll be expected to track the daily labor KPIs and get to the bottom of any anomalies. Developing the Bench: My client is big on succession. You'll be managing Section Managers-coaching them through PDRs and ensuring the training programs for new starters are actually delivering results. Accountability: You own the shift's safety, GMP standards, and output. When there's a non conformance, you lead the root cause analysis rather than just checking a box. Candidate Profile If you're currently a Production Manager or Senior PM in a fast paced manufacturing environment (Food/FMCG), you'll know the drill. My client is looking for: The "Data Plus Instinct" Mindset: You're proficient in Excel and reporting tools, but you use that data to drive physical change on the lines. High Level Leadership: You know how to manage through your Section Managers without micromanaging, but you aren't afraid to get stuck in when a shift hits a bottleneck. Commercial Awareness: You understand how labour spend and packaging waste directly impact the bottom line. Draw Beyond the salary, the shift pattern is a major selling point for anyone looking for a consistent, predictable rotation (Week 1: 3 days on / Week 2: 4 days on). You're joining a stable, well resourced business where you have the autonomy to run your shift as a distinct business unit.
