Senior Production Supervisor – Chilled High-Risk Food Manufacturing | Northwich | £38,000 - £40,000 + Benefits
Are you a Senior Production Supervisor in food manufacturing who’s ready for a role with more challenge, more control – and a team that actually has your back?
You’ve probably done the firefighting.
You’ve probably had the promises of development.
You’ve probably stuck around longer than you should have, hoping things might improve.
But what if this Senior Production Supervisor role actually offered you a step forward — not just more of the same?
This isn’t a business coasting along. The site is growing fast – new business, new lines, and more volume than ever before. It’s a 24/7 chilled high-risk food manufacturing operation with over 900 staff, and they’re looking for confident, capable leaders to step in and take charge of production performance.
You’ll lead teams of up to 50 on shift, working with Line Leaders, Technical, Engineering and Ops to keep things moving. It’s fast. It’s hands-on. And it’s packed with progression potential – promotions and secondments are happening here, not just being talked about.
What you’ll be doing as a Senior Production Supervisor:
* Leading chilled high-risk food production lines across your shift
* Managing performance, motivating your team, and briefing clearly each day
* Driving KPIs and ensuring output, quality, and compliance are on point
* Handling welfare, absence management, HR meetings and disciplinaries
* Supporting new starter onboarding, training, and recruitment
* Working closely with Shift Managers and reporting into the Ops team
What you’ll need:
* Proven supervisory/management experience in food manufacturing (ideally chilled high-risk)
* Strong leadership – someone who can manage up to 50 people per shift
* Resilience under pressure and a sharp eye for detail
* Solid understanding of manufacturing KPIs and daily production metrics
* A hands-on mindset – this isn’t a desk job
Shift Patterns – Choose A or B:
Team A (4 on / 3 off alternating):
* Week 1: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday – 6am–6pm
Team B (4 on / 3 off alternating):
* Week 2: Thursday, Friday, Saturday – 6am–6pm
What’s in it for you?
* 8% pension (3% employee / 5% employer)
* Free parking, subsidised staff canteen, full site facilities
* Real progression – not just lip service
This is a Senior Production Supervisor role for someone who wants to step into more responsibility, be respected for what they bring – and be given the chance to grow.
