Are you an Operations Manager who enjoys making a difference rather than simply maintaining the status quo?
I'm working with a well–established food manufacturer looking to appoint an experienced Operations Manager to lead a large production operation. This is a genuine opportunity to influence site performance, develop an established management team and play a key role in driving continuous improvement.
Reporting directly to the General Manager, you'll be responsible for leading multiple production departments, ensuring the site delivers against safety, quality, service, cost and people objectives.
What you'll be doing
Leading and developing a team of Senior Production Managers and Production Managers.
Driving operational performance across safety, quality, delivery, cost and efficiency.
Managing labour planning, productivity, yields and operational costs.
Embedding a culture of continuous improvement and accountability.
Working closely with Engineering, Technical, Planning and Supply Chain to deliver business objectives.
Leading operational readiness for customer and external audits.
Developing people, succession plans and future leaders across the operation.
What I'm looking for
Previous experience as an Operations Manager within food manufacturing.
Alternatively, a highly experienced Senior Production Manager ready for the next step.
Strong leadership experience within a fast–paced FMCG environment.
A proven track record of improving KPIs, productivity, quality and operational performance.
Experience leading large teams through multiple layers of management.
A hands–on leader who enjoys being visible on the factory floor.
What's in it for you?
