Full job description

At Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology, we are driving the next phase of growth in the rapidly expanding high-volume manufacturing (HVM) market for compound semiconductors. Building on our strong foundation in the research sector, we are scaling our operations to meet increasing global demand — and this is where you come in.

We are seeking a Head of Production to play a critical leadership role in our Operational Excellence journey, transforming our Production, Supply Chain, Stores and Dispatch functions to support sustainable growth, improved customer outcomes and world-class manufacturing performance.

The Opportunity:

This is a senior leadership role accountable for delivering safe, reliable, high-quality and cost-effective manufacturing performance in a complex, high-technology environment.

You will lead end-to-end production operations, driving performance across Safety, Quality, Cost, Delivery and People (SQCDP) metrics, while building leadership capability, improving production flow and embedding a culture of continuous improvement.

As part of the Operations leadership team, you will also play a key role in strategy deployment, cross-functional alignment and scaling manufacturing capability to support future growth.

Key Responsibilities:

Operational Leadership & Delivery

Lead Production, Stores and Dispatch with clear priorities, strong communication and visible leadership
Own production planning and execution to meet monthly and annual delivery commitments
Ensure a safe working environment with full compliance to HSE standards

People & Capability Development

Build, coach and develop high-performing teams, including line managers and technical specialists
Identify capability gaps and drive succession planning, hiring and skills development
Foster a culture of accountability, engagement and continuous improvement

Operational Excellence & Continuous Improvement

Drive lean manufacturing and CI initiatives to improve flow, efficiency and scalability
Reduce waste across materials, processes and systems, supporting high-volume manufacturing readiness
Use SQCDP metrics and data insights to prioritise and deliver improvement initiatives

Cost, Quality & Performance

Deliver margin improvement through control of labour, rework, scrap, overtime and WIP
Improve product quality through robust root cause analysis and corrective actions
Standardise processes and systems to drive consistency and efficiency

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain and Commercial teams
Support New Product Introduction (NPI), ensuring manufacturability and production readiness
Lead pre-production builds and ensure smooth transition into full-scale manufacture

About You:

You are an experienced and credible manufacturing leader with a track record of delivering results in complex, high-technology environments.

Proven experience leading production or operations teams at scale
Strong background in lean manufacturing, problem solving and continuous improvement
Skilled in developing leaders and building high-performing, multi-disciplinary teams
Commercially aware, able to balance cost, quality, delivery and long-term performance
Data-driven, with experience using ERP and production systems to inform decisions
Confident decision-maker, comfortable operating in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
Collaborative and influential, with the ability to drive alignment across functions

Experience in semiconductor, precision engineering, vacuum, plasma or capital equipment manufacturing would be highly advantageous.

Qualifications:

Degree in Engineering, Manufacturing or a related discipline (or equivalent experience)
Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (or equivalent practical experience)
