Respected for its high levels of service, innovation, environmental awareness and product quality, the organisation has a highly-regarded leadership team and benefits from extensive investment in its plants. This includes investing in employee development and maintaining the highest standards of health and safety, with the ultimate goal of achieving “Zero Harm”.
The business is now seeking to appoint a proven manufacturing leader, with a track record of success within a continuous process manufacturing sector, to lead and develop its manufacturing function and team. Having embraced lean manufacturing and continuous improvement with positive results, the company is now looking for a new Manufacturing Director who can develop a high-performance culture and enable the UK business to achieve its ambitious growth plans.
The Role
Reporting to the UK Managing Director, and, as a member of the UK Board of Directors, you will have responsibility for three large continuous process production sites, and approx. 175 employees. You will lead all aspects of factory operations, whilst at the same time seeking to continuously improve all manufacturing activities across the sites, coupled with a more structured approach to managing, measuring and controlling the manufacturing process.
Lead, develop and strengthen the existing management team, and introduce new ways of working to sites that are traditional in their outlook and culture. Develop and implement capital investment programmes to upgrade the production facilities and address the changing business environment.
Through your hands-on approach, you will play an active role in developing the efficiency and reliability of the sites, whilst ensuring the business is customer-led and performance driven. As such, you will have the opportunity to make a significant positive change to the business.
The Candidate
Of graduate calibre, you will be an experienced manufacturing leader with a comprehensive understanding of manufacturing processes and continuous improvement, within a high-volume ‘heavy engineering’ industrial processing environment. Thriving on the pursuit of best-in-class customer service and operational excellence, sectors of interest include building products, chemicals, metals, food & drink, paper, FMCG manufacturing, and related industrial sectors.
An advocate of continuous improvement, and lean manufacturing, you will be an adept people manager, coach and motivator, with experience in managing multi-site teams, with a hands-on approach to leadership. A strong communicator, and a positive agent of change, you will have the necessary cultural experience to develop an environment focused on delivery, efficiency, and excellence, and to thrive within an international organisation.
This is an exceptional opportunity to join a successful, growing and ambitious manufacturer with a well-regarded brand, where you will have the autonomy to make a significant and positive contribution to its leadership, and ongoing development.
