The successful candidate will be CI-focused and results-driven, with a proven ability to translate operational strategy into measurable business outcomes.

The Role

You will be responsible for leading operational performance across a large manufacturing site, ensuring the operation consistently delivers against key performance, productivity, quality, cost and efficiency measures.

• Increasing output and productivity
• Improving labor efficiency
• Delivering successful Continuous Improvement initiatives
• Driving KPI performance and operational accountability
• Leading and developing large operational teams

You will be comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and have the leadership capability to drive change while maintaining strong operational standards.
