Job Description
Andy File Associates Limited is working as a Recruitment Agency on behalf of our client with regards this permanent position.
Location: Nottingham, NG16
Full Time
The Community You’ll Join
Our client believes there’s magic in the handmade. For 20 years, we’ve been crafting bikepacking bags, rucksacks, and boulder mats in our UK factory. You will be joining a group that’s passionate about purposeful design, sustainability, and celebrating the skill of making. Based at their Nottingham Campus, you’ll lead a tight-knit crew of machinists who care about quality, detail, and the thrill of bringing products to life.
The Difference You’ll Make
As Production Team Leader, you’ll be guiding our production from concept to creation. You'll lead two in-house production teams ensuring everything runs like clockwork. From planning production schedules to elevating team morale and maintaining craftsmanship, your work will directly shape our gear, our pace, and our planet-first values. You’ll be a key player in ensuring our products meet their purpose.
A Typical Day
* Start the day with a walk through the floor — checking machines, chatting to the team, and addressing priorities.
* Juggle short turnaround jobs and long-term workflows across both brands, adjusting the schedule to keep things running smooth.
* Run a team huddle, give feedback, and be willing to help on a production issue when things need a hands-on fix.
* Review quality standards, troubleshoot production bottlenecks, and talk through any challenges with the supply chain or product team.
* Wrap up with a glance ahead — forecasting needs, balancing materials, and keeping our sustainability goals firmly in sight.
Your Expertise
You’ve spent time in production — ideally with textiles, sewing, or soft goods — and you get the rhythm of a factory floor. You know how to lead by example, build trust with a team, and push for progress without compromising quality. Most of all, you care about the craft, the people, and the planet.
What You’ll Bring
* Experience in factory or production management (bonus if it's sewn goods).
* Natural leadership and a mentoring mindset — 1:1s, team chats, skills development.
* A sharp eye for quality and efficiency.
* Technical understanding of materials, stitching, and manufacturing processes.
* A love for hands-on work, sustainability, and doing things the right way — not the easy way.
