Proactive Personnel Ltd is recruiting an experienced Continuous Improvement Manager to lead a dynamic team of lean professionals in a forward‑thinking, focused environment.
This role is in a food manufacturing environment and reports to the Regional Lean Manager, taking the site on a thorough lean journey, implementing changes proactively and ensuring continuity of processes.
Operational Excellence / Continuous improvement is a business priority, so the role is not for the faint‑hearted. You will need to be an extrovert, comfortable pushing and influencing the Senior Leadership Team on your journey.
