About Us

Join 2 Sisters Food Group, one of the UK's largest food manufacturers, with an annual turnover exceeding £3 billion and approximately 13,000 employees across 16 sites. We have a strong presence in poultry, chilled, and bakery food categories, including popular brands like Holland's pies. We are committed to delivering high-quality products to the British public and our retail and food service customers, including major retailers like Aldi, Asda, Co-op, KFC, Lidl, Marks & Spencer, Morrison's, Sainsbury's, Tesco, and Waitrose.

About the Role

We are looking for a Shift Manager to join our team at our Scunthorpe site - our largest site, with around 2,000 employees. It's a fast-paced, complex environment that calls for someone who is proactive, resilient, and able to thrive under pressure.

In this role, you'll report directly to the Shift Manager and have 4 x direct Team Leader reports and approximately 40 indirect reports. You will take ownership of line output across various product lines in the cutting operation, ensuring each line operates efficiently, safely, and to the highest standards of quality and compliance.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, support, and develop your team to meet daily KPIs and customer expectations
• Ensure adherence to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and quality standards at all times
• Maintain strong line discipline and follow specific packing and production plans - no overpacking, no deviations
• Drive productivity and morale while maintaining staff welfare and safety
• Take ownership of the training, coaching, and development of your team

About You

You'll be a confident and motivated leader with a background in FMCG, food manufacturing, or a similar fast-paced environment.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone already in a Team Leader or Line Leader role, or someone looking to step up and take on more responsibility. We're looking for someone who thrives under pressure, communicates clearly, and brings a hands-on leadership style that can energise and organise a diverse team.

Key Skills

• Previous experience in a similar FMCG / manufacturing / production role
• Proven ability to lead, manage and motivate teams
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Strong understanding of productivity and performance-based operations
• Knowledge of GMP and quality standards
• Health Assured Employee Assistance Programme and Grocery Aid are free and confidential support services 365 days a year
