Manufacturing Manager

Commutable from: Beckenham, Bromley, Croydon, Orpington, Lewisham, Greenwich, Dartford, Sidcup, Catford and surrounding areas

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
