About the Role

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.

Key Responsibilities

• Responsible for standards across Health & Safety and Food Safety
• Improving line efficiency and reducing labour and material costs
• Managing performance and dealing with issues as needed
• Reporting directly to the Factory Manager – hands-on operational role

Requirements

• Experience leading teams in a production environment
• Understanding of performance management and operational metrics
• Ability to work with numbers behind labour, waste, and output
• Background in food manufacturing is ideal but not essential
• Suitable for current Shift Managers or strong Supervisors/Team Leaders ready to step up
