Full job description

At Servomex, our global mission is to enable change through advanced gas analysis and sensing solutions. Headquartered in Crowborough, our UK Technical Centre brings together multidisciplinary teams who collaborate to design and deliver next-generation solutions used in critical environments worldwide.

In this role, the Continuous Improvement Lead will play a key role in driving operational excellence across the manufacturing environment by identifying improvement opportunities, reducing waste and supporting the delivery of sustainable business improvements.

Working closely with production and cross-functional teams, the role will focus on the practical application of Lean methodologies to improve efficiency, quality, cost performance and operational effectiveness.

A key part of the role will be building Lean capability across the site, including coaching and developing Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) through hands-on practice. The role will also support and influence leadership behaviours that strengthen daily management, Gemba routines and a culture of continuous improvement, helping to ensure that improvements are embedded and sustained.

Location: Servomex UK Technical Centre, Crowborough, East Sussex, UK with flexibility for occasional global travel
Salary: £60,000 to £70,000 - please see below for further information on salary and benefits

Key responsibilities and accountabilities:

CVD (Core Value Driver) Performance

Target and eliminate manufacturing waste to drive measurable scrap reduction.
Streamline production workflows to achieve aggressive cycle time reduction goals.
Analyse business processes to identify and execute initiatives.
Partner with line operators to implement immediate, practical shop-floor fixes.

Shop Floor Tool Deployment

Deploy practical Lean tools directly on the industrial manufacturing lines.
Implement 5S, Visual Management, Kanban systems, and Standardized Work.
Conduct regular Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to identify process bottlenecks.
Design and implement Poka-Yoke (mistake-proofing) solutions to protect quality.

Facilitation & Problem Solving

Lead and facilitate structured Kaizen events with cross-functional teams and maintain a live, prioritised Kaizen funnel linked to CVDs and value impact.
Root-cause production issues using 5 Whys, Fishbone, and A3 methodologies.
Drive quick-changeover initiatives using SMED techniques to reduce machine downtime.
Track, analyse, and report key performance metrics directly to the Production Manager.

Mentoring, SME Development & Capability Building

Build Lean capability across the site through practical coaching, mentoring and hands-on support.
Coach and develop Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) by working alongside them during live problem-solving, Lean events and improvement activities.
Support frontline teams and internal champions to apply Lean tools confidently in their day-to-day work.
Influence leadership behaviours that strengthen daily management, Gemba routines and sustained continuous improvement.
Foster a culture where colleagues feel empowered to identify opportunities, solve problems and implement lasting improvements.

Essential skills and experience:

Experience implementing Lean methodologies within a manufacturing or operational environment, spanning production, quality, supply chain and procurement. Any additional experience deploying Lean outside operations – in R&D, commercial or enabling functions is valuable.
Proven track record of delivering measurable improvements in waste reduction, productivity, quality and cost performance.
Strong practical knowledge of Lean tools and methodologies, including SMED, Value Stream Mapping (VSM), Kanban, Poka-Yoke and Standardised Work.
Experience leading and facilitating continuous improvement initiatives, Kaizen events and cross-functional improvement activities.
Strong root cause analysis, problem-solving and data analysis skills, with the ability to identify opportunities, implement solutions and measure outcomes.
Experience coaching, training and influencing colleagues to adopt Lean principles and continuous improvement practices.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage colleagues at all levels of the organisation.
Ability to build effective working relationships across production, engineering, quality and support functions.
Practical, hands-on approach, with the resilience and adaptability to deliver sustainable improvements in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
