Job Description

Are you an experienced Manufacturing / Production Shift Manager looking for a role where you can genuinely lead, develop people and take ownership? We're recruiting for Production Shift Managers for a global food manufacturer at their large manufacturing facility in Coventry.

Work Schedule: 12-hour shifts (4 Days on, 4 off, 4 Nights on, 4 off) (6-6)

Salary & Benefits

• Approximate basic salary of £45k plus 23.5% shift allowance (Total around £56k/year)
• 7.5% annual bonus
• Private healthcare
• Pension with up to 10% company contribution
• Excellent career development and internal progression

You will lead a frontline team of approximately 50 people, taking responsibility for safety, quality, people, and operational performance within a large-scale, fast-paced manufacturing environment. People leadership is central to this role. You will coach and develop your team, manage performance, set clear expectations, and create an environment where people are empowered to perform at their best. You will also have real autonomy, especially when working nights, with the confidence to solve problems, take ownership, and make effective decisions without always having senior management immediately available.

Key Responsibilities of the Production Shift Manager

• Leading, coaching, and developing a team of 40-60 people
• Driving safety, quality, GMP, and operational standards
• Managing attendance, conduct, and performance
• Developing capability through coaching and effective one-to-ones
• Using operational data and structured problem-solving to improve performance
• Making confident decisions in complex or fast-moving situations
• Supporting continuous improvement across the operation

What We're Looking For

Food manufacturing experience is not essential. We're interested in experienced leaders from food/FMCG, automotive, aerospace, engineering, process, and other complex production environments.

You will need at least 3 years' experience directly managing frontline teams, along with strong people leadership, coaching, and performance management skills. You should be comfortable taking ownership, making decisions under pressure, and using data to improve operational performance.
