The Opportunity- Operations Manager - JCB Power Products (Transmissions)

About the role:

We're seeking a highly driven and experienced Operations Manager to lead manufacturing performance at our JCB Power Products site in Wrexham. This is a critical leadership role responsible for delivering safe, high-quality, and cost-effective production across a high-volume, fast-paced environment.

As Operations Manager, you'll bring a strong leadership presence, technical expertise, and a results-driven mindset to drive operational excellence. You'll play a key role in shaping site performance, leading teams through change, and ensuring alignment with JCB’s wider operational strategy.

This role requires someone who thrives under pressure, can challenge and influence at all levels, and has a proven track record in manufacturing, ideally within automotive, powertrain, or similar industries

What does this role involve day to day?

Leading day-to-day manufacturing and assembly operations to meet production and delivery targets
Driving a strong safety-first culture across all shopfloor activities and ensuring full compliance with HSE and JCB standards
Managing production planning, scheduling, and capacity to achieve on-time, in-full (OTIF) delivery
Identifying and removing operational bottlenecks to improve flow across machining, assembly, and test areas
Owning product and process quality, reducing defects, rework, and warranty issues
Driving continuous improvement initiatives using Lean methodologies such as 5S, Kaizen, and standard work
Leading root cause analysis (RCA) and implementing corrective actions for internal and supplier-related issues
Working closely with procurement and suppliers to ensure material availability and component quality, while managing supplier performance and risk
Delivering cost reduction initiatives, improving labour efficiency, reducing waste and scrap, and managing operational budgets
Leading, coaching, and developing front-line leaders and operators to build a high-performance, accountable culture
Ensuring strong equipment reliability through TPM and effective maintenance planning
Supporting new product introductions, ensuring smooth transition into full-scale production
Acting as a key interface across manufacturing, engineering, quality, and commercial teams
Monitoring and reporting on key KPIs including Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, and People (SQDCP)
Leading daily and weekly operational reviews and ensuring follow-through on actions
Contributing to longer-term operational strategy and driving transformation initiatives such as automation and digitalisation

This will be suited to you if…

You're an engineering-qualified professional with strong technical and operational knowledge
You have Lean / Six Sigma training and a passion for continuous improvement
You have significant experience in high-volume manufacturing (ideally automotive, powertrain, or similar sectors)
You're a proven leader and change agent with the ability to inspire and develop high-performing teams
You demonstrate strong leadership presence, accountability, and resilience in demanding production environments
You're results-driven, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership of performance outcomes
You can confidently challenge, influence, and collaborate with internal stakeholders and external suppliers
You communicate effectively at all levels, from shopfloor to executive leadership
You're experienced in managing quality issues, supplier performance, and cost pressures
You thrive in a fast-paced environment and can balance competing priorities with confidence
