Manufacturing / Production Lead (Engineer / Manager / Supervisor) / Worcester / £35k to 40k D.O.E
We are looking for someone who can take ownership of how production operates — improving flow, managing the shop floor, and ensuring orders are delivered effectively. This is not a narrow role.

What matters most is your ability to organise, solve problems, and deliver results in a manufacturing environment.
The Role
You will be responsible for coordinating production activities, improving efficiency, and ensuring that works orders are delivered on time. You will play a key part in connecting planning, systems, and production execution. This is a hands-on role that combines, shop floor leadership, production scheduling, system (ERP) management, and practical problem solving.
Key Responsibilities
· Plan and schedule production to meet customer demand
· Manage and prioritise works orders through the factory
· Work closely with operators to ensure smooth daily running
· Monitor machine utilisation and address downtime
· Use ERP systems to track orders, materials, and progress
· Ensure accurate production data and reporting
· Identify and implement process improvements
· Support and guide shop floor teams
· Maintain high standards in paperwork and administrative duties.
About You
We are open to a range of experience, but you will likely have experience in one or more of the following:
· Production Engineer, Production scheduler, or Production Manager
· Manufacturing Supervisor / Team Leader
· Process or Continuous Improvement role
· Practical and hands-on
· Organised and able to manage multiple priorities
· Comfortable working between systems and shop floor
· Confident using ERP systems and production data
· Focused on improving how things work, not just maintaining them
· A level of flexibility on shift times to provide cover and handover (some early start and/or later finishes).
Desirable Experience
· Experience with ERP systems and works order management
· Production scheduling or planning experience
· Understanding of manufacturing processes
· Experience improving efficiency, flow, or output
