Proven leadership experience managing operational teams and delivering against performance targets.
The ability to influence stakeholders and communicate effectively across all levels of an organisation.
A commitment to safety, quality and continuous improvement.
It Would Be Great If You Also Have

Experience within a manufacturing or production environment.
Experience developing multidisciplinary teams, including workshop personnel and apprentices.
Coaching, mentoring or team development experience.
A collaborative approach with the ability to work effectively across multiple business function
