  * Continuous Improvement & Projects: Support site-wide CI projects, including floor re-layout strategies, workflow optimization, and waste reduction.

Requirements:

  * Proven track record in shift management / production leadership within a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

  * IOSH Managing Safely qualification (or equivalent H&S accreditation).

  * Lean Manufacturing accreditation (e.g., Lean Six Sigma Green/Black Belt or equivalent CI qualification).

  * Demonstrated experience with continuous improvement tools, 5S implementation, and factory layout projects.

  * Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills with a proactive approach to hit the ground running.
