Manufacturing Operations Manager

Mid Kent – drivers with own transport preferred due to location & start time

£60,000 - £65,000 + benefits + progression

7.30am-4pm Monday – Thursday, 7.30am – 1.30pm Friday

PLEASE NOTE, NO SPONSORSHIP IS POSSIBLE FOR THIS ROLE, SO PLEASE ONLY APPLY IF YOU HAVE THE PERMANENT RIGHT TO WORK IN THE UK WITHOUT SPONSORSHIP.

This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced Manufacturing Operations Manager who enjoys making things better – better processes, better performance and, importantly, better teams.

We're working with an established manufacturing business going through an exciting period of investment and growth. They are looking for a strong operational leader to work closely with the General Manager and take ownership of the day-to-day manufacturing operation.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to manage from behind a desk. You'll be visible on the shop floor, close to your teams and genuinely influential in how the operation develops.

What you'll be doing

Taking ownership of day-to-day manufacturing operations
Leading, developing and getting the best from production teams
Driving performance across quality, cost, delivery and productivity
Identifying bottlenecks, inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement
Improving processes, systems and ways of working as the business grows
Driving continuous improvement and lean manufacturing initiatives
Using KPIs and operational data to understand performance and drive action
Developing capacity plans to support changing production requirements
Ensuring consistently high standards of safety and quality
Working closely with other departments to improve overall site performance
Supporting the introduction of new products and processes
Building greater accountability, structure and consistency across the operation

What we're looking for

Strong experience leading operations within a manufacturing environment
A proven people manager who can engage, coach and develop teams
Good understanding of lean manufacturing and continuous improvement
Experience managing operational KPIs including quality, cost, delivery and productivity
Commercially aware with a strong understanding of what drives manufacturing performance
Confident analysing data and turning it into practical improvements
Experience working with ERP/MRP or production planning systems
Strong problem-solving skills and a hands-on approach
Comfortable working in a fast-paced industrial environment
Able to challenge existing ways of working while bringing people with you

An engineering or manufacturing qualification would be useful, as would experience within a heavier industrial environment, but leadership ability, manufacturing knowledge and a track record of improving operations are more important.

Why would you want it?

£60,000–£65,000 salary
Senior, influential position working closely with the General Manager
Growing business with continued investment
Real scope to shape and improve the manufacturing operation
Opportunity to make a visible impact rather than simply maintain what's already there
Plenty of autonomy and ownership
Genuine longer-term progression opportunities
Close-knit business with a strong team culture
Monday–Friday daytime hours
1:30pm finish every Friday

If you're a strong manufacturing leader who enjoys developing people, improving processes and driving operational performance, this could be a really exciting next step.

Pay: £60,000.00-£65,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Canteen
Company events
Company pension
Free parking
Health & wellbeing programme
On-site parking

Application question(s):

Do you have the Right to Work in the UK without sponsorship on a permanent basis?
Do you have experience overseeing manufacturing operations?

Work Location: In person
