Job Description

I am recruiting on behalf of my client for an experienced Production Manager to take responsibility for their busy production operation. This is a key position within the business and requires someone with strong production management experience, but most importantly, someone who is highly capable when it comes to production planning, scheduling and managing customer delivery commitments.

 The successful Production Manager will oversee the full production function, including inspection and stores, ensuring jobs are effectively planned, prioritised and progressed to meet customer delivery dates.
 This is a busy and demanding environment, so I am looking for a Production Manager who is exceptionally organised, confident working under pressure and capable of taking control of an existing production schedule that requires significant attention.
 
Key responsibilities will include:

Overseeing all production activities, including inspection and stores
Planning and scheduling production jobs against customer delivery dates
Raising internal route cards through the manufacturing MRP system
Planning jobs using the Production Management system and Capacity Planner
Monitoring production progress and identifying potential delivery issues
Liaising directly with customers regarding order progress
Communicating delays, changes and production updates to customers when required
Working closely with the Purchasing Department to obtain supply updates for manufacturing
Attending online customer meetings to provide OOB updates
Holding and managing regular weekly production meetings
Prioritising workloads to ensure urgent and overdue customer requirements are addressed
Maintaining control of a busy and demanding production scheduleFor this Production Manager position, production planning experience is particularly important. The successful candidate will be inheriting a challenging production situation where planning requires improvement and some customer jobs are already approaching or beyond critical delivery points.
 I therefore need a Production Manager who can quickly assess the current workload, establish clear priorities and introduce the organisation and planning required to bring production back under control.
 The successful candidate will need:

Previous experience managing a production function
Strong production planning and scheduling experience
Experience working with manufacturing MRP systems
Confidence using production management and capacity-planning systems
Excellent organisational and prioritisation skills
The ability to remain effective when working under pressure
Strong customer communication skills
Confidence liaising across Production, Purchasing, Inspection and Stores
The ability to manage competing priorities within a fast-paced manufacturing environmentThe Production Manager position is full-time and offers:

Salary in the region of £40,000–£45,000
Monday to Thursday: 8:30am–5:00pm
Friday: 8:30am–1:00pm
Early Friday finish
A key position with responsibility for the wider production operationIf you are an experienced Production Manager with a strong background in production planning and are comfortable taking ownership of a demanding manufacturing schedule, I would be keen to speak with you.
