Operations Leader – Development role to Operations / Plant Management

Are you on a steep career trajectory toward Operations / Plant Management?

Do you thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments where performance matters?

Are you a natural leader with the drive and ambition to inspire teams and deliver results?

If so, we want to hear from you.

About You:

We’re looking for high-potential leaders who are ready to accelerate their careers in operational management. Your motivation, ambition, and leadership ability are more important than the length of your CV. You might be an emerging talent or already managing teams — either way, you're aiming high.

You are:

Highly motivated with a track record of delivering results in fast-paced, high-volume, labour-intensive environments.

A natural leader who thrives under pressure and enjoys taking ownership.

Competitive, resilient, and driven by achieving targets.

An excellent problem-solver who can manage multiple priorities (“plate spinner”).

Ambitious, with your sights firmly set on senior leadership roles.

Experience in manufacturing, production, logistics, or similar operations is ideal, but we welcome applicants from all high-performance, blue-collar industries.

About the Company:

This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-growth, multinational organisation committed to continuous improvement and operational excellence. With a strong UK presence, this company is investing heavily in its people and infrastructure — building a future leadership pipeline to drive change and performance.

You’ll be part of a progressive, people-focused culture, where fresh ideas, initiative, and leadership are recognised and rewarded.

The Role:

Reporting to the Operations Manager and General Manager, you will lead a team of up to 40 people in a fast-moving, labour-intensive production environment.

Your key responsibilities will include:

Full responsibility for operational performance in your area.

Leading, coaching, and inspiring your team to meet and exceed demanding KPIs.

Driving a culture of continuous improvement using Lean or modern manufacturing principles.

Identifying and resolving performance issues quickly and effectively.

Ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction through operational excellence.

This role offers significant autonomy and is a stepping stone toward senior operations and general management.

What We’re Looking For:

A clear track record of leadership and achievement.

Experience in fast-paced, high-volume, blue-collar environments (e.g. manufacturing, warehousing, logistics).

Exposure to Lean, Kaizen, or continuous improvement initiatives (preferred).

Strong leadership, communication, and organisational skills.

A high level of personal drive, resilience, and ambition.

Why Apply?

Join a company with big ambitions and a clear plan for growth.

Be part of a leadership development path that could take you to Plant or General Management.

Enjoy the support of experienced leaders while having the autonomy to lead and deliver.

Play a key role in shaping the future of a high-performing operation.

Ready to take the next step?

Apply now and fast-track your career with a company that values leadership, performance, and potential
