Production Manager
Food Manufacturing
South Yorkshire
£60,000 - £65,000 + Bonus and up to 10% matched pension.
This isn't one of those roles where you inherit chaos and spend 6 months firefighting. This is a well‑run, high‑volume operation that now needs someone to push it from good to properly impressive.
You'll be leading a team of 300+ across key production areas in a 24/7 environment. Not by standing on the sidelines, but by being visible, credible, and actually making things better.
You'll work closely with all departments, challenge processes, drive standards, and turn “we've always done it this way” into something far more effective.
The team? Stable. Experienced. Capable. They don't need micromanaging; they need someone who can bring them along, raise the bar, and keep things moving forward without disrupting what already works.
No gimmicks. No nonsense. Just a role where you can actually have an impact.
What’s in it for you?
This role has opened up as the previous incumbent has moved into a new position, following their manager's own progression. It's a business that can genuinely give you the platform to grow your career and build a strong reputation working with some of the UK's biggest customers.
