Job Description
Production Team Lead / Cell Leader
Location: Greater London / Middlesex / Surrey / Buckinghamshire / Berkshire
Some manufacturing roles are about volume. This one is about responsibility.
We’re partnering with a long established, world-class UK manufacturer whose work demands absolute precision, discipline and trust. They don’t advertise loudly — and they don’t need to.
They’re looking for an on-site Manufacturing Lead to take ownership of a specialist production team (circa 10 people and growing) on-site.
The role
This is a hands-on leadership position where you’ll:
* Lead, coach and develop a skilled production team
* Own day-to-day performance, KPIs and workflow
* Uphold strict quality and safety standards - risk and COSHH assessments
* Drive continuous improvement and best practice
* Create a positive, structured and accountable team culture
This will suit you if you:
* Have led teams in a manufacturing / production environment
* Are confident managing people, performance and priorities
* Drive performance using KPI / Metrics and leadership skills
* Take pride in running a tight, well-organised operation
* Value being close to the work and your team
* Want a role with real responsibility and long-term stability
Why this role stands out
* Work that genuinely matters
* A stable environment with high standards
* Trusted leadership, not micromanagement
* On-site, hands-on role with visible impact
You’re not actively looking... But roles like this don’t come up often. If you want to work for a highly respected UK manufacturer operating in a regulated environment where quality, safety and accountability are non-negotiable this is your opportunity to find out more.
If this sounds like the kind of responsibility you enjoy, a quiet message is all it takes to find out more.
