Production Shift Manager

Food Manufacturing

Lancashire

GBP45,000 – GBP50,000

Monday Friday, 2pm–10pm.

This is a shift that needs someone to come in, take ownership, and bring a bit of direction.

You ll be leading the 2 10 operation across 3 production lines, with a team of around 40 off–season, rising to 75 at peak. The structure is in place and the agency is well managed, so the focus here is on building consistency, supporting the Team Leaders, and getting stronger performance across the shift.

The business itself is in a good place – up 10% year–on–year, financially stable, and investing in automation over the next 12 months. There s a clear opportunity here to establish yourself as a key part of the team and grow into the number two and eventual successor for the Factory Manager.

You ll be responsible for standards across H&S and Food Safety, while also improving line efficiency, reducing labour and material costs, and dealing with performance where needed. You ll report directly into the Factory Manager, with no layers and no customer–facing element – this is a hands–on operational role.

They re open on background – food manufacturing would be ideal, but not essential. What matters is that you ve led teams in a production environment, understand how to manage performance, and can work with the numbers behind labour, waste, and output. This could suit someone already operating at Shift Manager level, or a strong Supervisor/Team Leader ready to step up.

The process is straightforward: an initial conversation focused on your experience across people, H&S, Food Safety and performance, followed by a site visit to meet the wider team and get a feel for the operation.

If you re looking for a role where you can genuinely take ownership of a shift and make a difference, it s worth a conversation. Apply below.
