• Ensure all Health & Safety procedures are followed
• Create a positive culture focused on quality, accountability and teamwork

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

We’re looking for someone who combines strong leadership with a hands-on approach.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous supervisory or management experience in food, drink or FMCG manufacturing
• Experience working within a BRC / audited manufacturing environment
• Strong understanding of production planning, KPIs and operational performance
• Excellent people management and communication skills
• A hands-on leadership style with a passion for coaching and developing teams
• Good knowledge of Health & Safety
• Experience with Lean Manufacturing / Continuous Improvement
• The ability to stay calm, organised and decisive under pressure

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

Join a business that’s growing — and grow with it.

• £30,000–£35,000 DOE
• Monday–Friday day shifts
• Management bonus scheme
• Annual salary review
• Free on-site parking
• Free company products
• Long-term career progression
• Opportunity to make a genuine impact within a growing food manufacturer
