Blackwood

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Production Manager to join a well-established and fast-paced manufacturing operation based in the Blackwood area.

Reporting directly to the Operations Director, this role is ideal for a highly organised and analytical individual who thrives in a production environment and enjoys coordinating workflow, driving operational performance, and managing production priorities to achieve throughput and delivery targets.

This is a slightly different Production Manager role to the traditional people-management-focused position. While you will coordinate and allocate work across approximately 75 operational staff, the focus is heavily centred around production planning, operational flow, bottleneck management, and ensuring production targets are achieved efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and manage production schedules across multiple work centres
	
Coordinate workflow and allocate work to support operational throughput targets
	
Identify bottlenecks and implement solutions to maintain production continuity
	
Create and manage project plans to support operational delivery and efficiency
	
Monitor operational performance and analyse production data to drive improvements
	
Work closely with senior leadership to ensure customer and business requirements are achieved
	
Produce operational reports and performance updates
	
Ensure high standards of safety, quality, and compliance are maintained
	
Support continuous improvement initiatives across operations

The Ideal Candidate Will Have

Previous experience within a production, manufacturing, operations, or planning environment
	
Strong analytical and organisational skills
	
Experience creating project plans and managing operational priorities
	
The ability to problem solve quickly within a fast-paced environment
	
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
	
Confidence working with KPIs, operational data, and reporting
	
A proactive, structured, and “can-do” approach
	
Good IT skills including Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook

Benefits

24 days annual leave plus bank holidays (increasing with service)
	
Company pension scheme
	
Life assurance
	
Company sick pay scheme
	
Employee Assistance Programme
	
On-site parking
