Are you a Manufacturing Manager looking to step into a true senior leadership position where you can run a shop floor, lead managers, and drive performance? Do you want a hands‑on role with clear ownership, in a business that’s growing and pushing forward?

This is a permanent, site-based leadership role with a well-established engineering manufacturer, giving you real responsibility and the autonomy to shape day-to-day production and delivery. You’ll join at a senior level, with a strong package, stability, and a business that wants a hands‑on leader (not a “desk‑only” director).

The company manufactures engineered components for a wide range of markets (from everyday products through to aerospace), supplying internationally. They’re part of a wider group with multiple UK sites and international backing, offering long‑term stability and an environment where strong leadership gets recognised.

You’ll be based on‑site in Beckenham, taking ownership of the full shop floor operation and leading department managers to deliver safe, efficient, on‑time production.

This role suits a success‑driven leader who wants to take full accountability for a manufacturing operation, lead managers day‑to‑day, and push performance forward in a hands‑on senior role.

The Role:

• Running the full shop floor / production operation on‑site in Beckenham
• Leading department managers and being part of the senior leadership team
• 40 hours per week: 08:30–17:00, Monday to Friday (site-based, no hybrid)

The Person:

• Engineering / manufacturing background
• Proven management experience (leading teams / managers)
• Hands‑on leadership approach with a technical mindset
