· Support and develop team leaders and supervisors to deliver operational excellence
What We're Looking For:
· Proven experience as a Production Manager or Shift Manager in a food manufacturing environment (night shift experience preferred)
· Strong leadership and people management skills
· In-depth knowledge of food safety, HACCP, and health & safety compliance
· Track record of improving efficiency, reducing downtime, and delivering KPIs
· Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment

What’s on Offer:
· Competitive salary up to £50,000
