Job Description

Manufacturing Manager

Food Manufacturing | Warwickshire | £70,000–£75,000 + 10% Bonus

Some manufacturing jobs are about keeping things ticking over.

This isn't one of them.

There is a lot changing at this site.

Investment is going into the operation. New equipment is being introduced. Ways of working that have been around for a long time are being challenged. And, as part of that, they're creating an additional Manufacturing Manager position to give the operation stronger leadership.

You'll take ownership of a significant part of the factory, with responsibility for everything you'd expect at this level – people, safety, quality, performance, cost and delivery.

But the interesting bit is what happens beyond the day-to-day.

There are projects to deliver, improvements to make and new equipment to integrate into the operation. They need somebody who can look at how things are currently done, understand what needs to change and then actually make it happen.

That means this probably isn't the role for someone who wants to inherit a well-oiled machine and simply maintain it.

You'll need to be comfortable spending time on the factory floor, developing your management team, getting underneath performance and challenging standards where they need to improve.

You'll also work closely with Engineering, Technical, Supply Chain, HR and the wider site leadership team, so you'll need to be capable of operating beyond your own production area.

What are they looking for?

You'll already have held a senior manufacturing/operations position within food manufacturing, with responsibility for a sizeable production operation.

More importantly, you'll be able to demonstrate where you've:

Led and developed manufacturing teams through their managers

Improved operational performance rather than simply maintained it

Delivered CI, efficiency, waste or cost improvements

Managed projects or supported the installation/commissioning of new equipment or production lines

Worked closely with Engineering, Technical and Supply Chain

Managed against operational KPIs and budgets

Maintained strong standards across H&S, food safety, quality and GMP

You don't need to arrive with a 100-page transformation strategy.

You do need to be the sort of Manufacturing Manager who sees something that could work better and does something about it.

The package:

£70,000–£75,000 DOE
10% bonus
25 days holiday + bank holidays
Pension
Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm
Plus additional employee benefits
