Job Description
Exclusive to Zest: Night Shift Production Manager - Food Manufacturing
The factory floor is calm, the day's bustle has eased, and now it's your shift-the night shift. The lights hum, the lines are running, and your team is in full swing. You're the steady hand guiding production through the night, ensuring that every product leaves the line safely, efficiently, and to the highest standard. You know the challenges of nights, but you also know the pride that comes with leading a team that keeps the heart of the business beating while others sleep.
This is your chance to step into an exclusive opportunity with Zest-a highly respected food manufacturer is seeking a talented Night Shift Production Manager to join their leadership team.
SHIFTS:
⏰Monday to Thurs (Nights)
The role at a glance:
* Lead and inspire your night shift team, creating clarity, energy, and purpose even in the quietest hours.
* Ensure production targets are not just met, but exceeded-safely, on time, and within budget.
* Be a hands-on leader, able to step onto the line when needed, but equally confident driving continuous improvement through analysis, planning, and people development.
* Manage labour and resources efficiently, ensuring KPIs around waste, labour, and material usage are delivered.
* Partner with cross-functional colleagues in operations, engineering, and supply to keep the site running seamlessly.
Success in this role will be measured by:
* Engaged, motivated night teams who deliver with consistency.
* Operational metrics that show efficiency, accuracy, and improvement.
* Your ability to foster a culture of accountability, pride, and innovation.
Why this role?
This is not just another production management role. It's exclusive to Zest, meaning you won't see it advertised elsewhere. More importantly, it's with a business that doesn't just want managers-it wants future leaders. You'll join a company with a warm, people-first culture, where your growth and progression are as important as the results you deliver. Nights may be quieter, but the scope for impact is huge.
What we're looking for:
* Experience as a production or shift manager in food manufacturing (chilled experience is ideal).
* Strong leadership skills-coaching, motivating, and getting the best from people.
* Proven track record of managing budgets and operational KPIs.
* Analytical, pragmatic, and calm under pressure.
* A team player with energy, adaptability, and a strong focus on quality.
What you'll gain:
* The autonomy to shape the night shift operation and leave your mark.
* A business that invests in its people, opening doors to senior leadership progression.
* The satisfaction of knowing that your shift is the bridge between one day and the next keeping the wheels of production turning.
If you're ready to take on the challenge of night leadership, and you're excited by an exclusive opportunity to grow with a thriving, reputable food manufacturer, then this role could be your next big step.
