Description du poste

Food Manufacturing | East Yorkshire | 4 on, 4 off (Days)

Some operations roles are about maintaining what is already there.

This one is about helping to build something better.

You’ll take responsibility for a significant part of a fast-paced food manufacturing site, leading through a team of Department Managers and playing an important role in the continued development of the operation.

There is plenty of opportunity to improve performance, strengthen the management team and introduce more consistent ways of working. However, this won’t be achieved through process alone.

The people side will be just as important.

You’ll need to build relationships, understand what motivates the team and create genuine support for change. There will be times when you need to challenge, but the ability to bring people with you will be what makes the biggest difference.

Your role will include:

• Leading and developing a team of Department Managers
• Improving performance across safety, quality, service, cost and people
• Building greater consistency and accountability across the shift
• Identifying and delivering continuous improvement opportunities
• Developing the capability of the wider management team
• Supporting longer-term improvements across the site

You’ll ideally have experience leading through other managers within a fast-paced food manufacturing environment.

A good understanding of continuous improvement would be valuable, but you don’t need to arrive with every answer. More important is your ability to ask the right questions, build trust and turn ideas into lasting improvements.

The business is growing, the site is evolving and there will be genuine opportunity to develop alongside it.
