As part of that journey, they're looking to appoint a Production Shift Manager who can take ownership of shift performance, lead from the front and help build on the strong foundations already in place.

If you're currently a Production Supervisor or Team Leader and feel ready to step into a management position, you'll be considered. What matters most is that you have the ambition, leadership capability and appetite to grow. What we're looking for You'll ideally bring: Experience leading teams within food manufacturing, FMCG or another highly regulated manufacturing environment. Strong understanding of production processes, food safety, quality and operational standards. The confidence to make decisions and take ownership of shift performance. A hands-on leadership style with the ability to motivate, coach and develop people. The ability to balance firmness with fairness and build a positive team culture. A detail-conscious, meticulous and hardworking approach. A genuine desire to improve - both yourself and the operation around you.
