Job description

Description:

As our Shepshed, East Midlands site grows, we're looking for a Production Shift Manager to run the daily schedule across slitting, label application and the warehouse - keeping the right jobs moving in the right order, and leading from the front on the shop floor.

This is a dynamic, hands on role.

Responsibilities:

• Building and managing the daily/weekly production schedule
• Leading and coordinating slitting, finishing processes and warehouse teams on shift
• Operating the slitting line directly when required, using your own hands-on experience
• Monitoring output against plan and quality standards, resolving issues as they arise

What you’ll need:

• Slitting machine experience - essential, not just useful. You'll use it regularly, not just in a pinch
• Strong organisational and leadership skills, comfortable reprioritising fast
• A self-managing, can-do attitude - happy to sort a problem on the floor, not just flag it

Benefits:

Competitive pay, real input into how the site runs day to day - a role with genuine variety and hands-on leadership rather than one repetitive lane.
