Job description

Production Manager

Are you an experienced Production Manager with a hands-on approach and a passion for driving performance in a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment?

We are a small but ambitious business specialising in the design and manufacture of complex electro-mechanical products, including motor assemblies, for a wide range of sectors. As a turnkey provider, we manage everything in-house—from concept through to delivery—and we’re looking for a Production Manager to play a key role in leading and shaping our manufacturing operations.

About the Role:

This is a broad and varied role where no two days are the same. You will be responsible for managing a small team of skilled electro-mechanical assembly technicians while overseeing all aspects of the production function, including:

• Goods in and materials handling

• Kitting and stores management

• Quality control and inspection

• Production planning and scheduling

• Final product dispatch and customer delivery

You’ll be expected to wear multiple hats and take a proactive, solution-focused approach to keeping things moving and continuously improving how we work.

Key Responsibilities of The Production Manager:

• Lead and manage a small team of assembly technicians working on electro-mechanical assemblies.

• Own the end-to-end production process from material intake to final dispatch.

• Work closely with design and engineering to ensure a smooth handover from prototype/NPI to production.

• Improve processes, productivity, and quality through lean practices and hands-on leadership.

• Maintain high levels of housekeeping, safety, and compliance on the shop floor.

• Support broader business needs where required—this is a team that rolls up its sleeves!
  
  

What We’re Looking For in The Production Manager:

• Proven experience in a production, manufacturing, or assembly management role in a technical or electro-mechanical environment.

• Strong people management skills and the ability to get the best out of a small, close-knit team.

• Comfortable in a small business setting, with a flexible attitude and a willingness to get hands-on.

• Familiarity with lean tools and continuous improvement.

• HNC/HND or equivalent in a relevant engineering or manufacturing discipline is desirable.
  
  

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a growing and innovative company working on technically exciting products.

• Take ownership of production and help shape how we do things moving forward.

• Collaborative culture where your voice is heard and valued.

• Competitive salary and a role with real responsibility and variety.
