* Passion for quality workmanship and continuous improvement
Ideal for someone with:
* Experience as a Fabrication Manager, Workshop Manager, Production Supervisor, or similar
* Proven ability to manage people and production simultaneously
* Strong problem-solving skills and a get-it-done attitude
What’s in It for You?
* Competitive salary package
* Opportunity to lead a respected team and take ownership of performance
* Join a business with low staff turnover and a strong workplace culture
* Support from senior leadership and a collaborative environment
* Career progression opportunities in a growing business
* Located in Grantham – with great connections to Newark, Sleaford, Lincoln, Melton Mowbray, and surrounding areas
