What we’re looking for:

This role would suit someone who has already led people in a manufacturing, production, logistics, engineering, packaging, fulfilment, warehouse operations or similar environment, and is now ready to develop into a broader production management role.

You may already be working as a Production Supervisor, Shift Leader, Team Leader, Operations Supervisor, Manufacturing Supervisor or similar.

We are looking for someone who is:

A clear and confident communicator
Positive, calm and practical
Fair, approachable and consistent
Comfortable leading people on a busy production floor
Able to follow process and improve process
Interested in continuous improvement
Organised and able to manage changing priorities
Motivated by quality, service and team success
Keen to learn food manufacturing standards
Excited by the opportunity to grow with a purpose led business

Training and development:

We will support the right person with structured training, including:

HACCP Level 3
Food Safety Level 3
Allergen management
Food manufacturing process control
Lean manufacturing
Six Sigma Green Belt
Production planning and performance management
Continuous improvement
Internal systems, standards and processes
People leadership and management

About the role:

The Trainee Production Manager will be responsible for managing daily production while also designing, implementing and embedding core systems that drive operational performance. A key part of this role will be leading the development of a robust Master Production Schedule (MPS) process, including the design and facilitation of structured planning meetings, to ensure alignment between production capacity, customer demand and ingredient availability.

What you will be doing

Supporting the day to day leadership of the production team across prep, cook and packing
Helping deliver the production plan safely, efficiently and to the required quality standard
Building strong working relationships with team members and other departments
Supporting training, communication and accountability on the production floor
Helping improve workflow, productivity, labour efficiency, waste and quality
Learning food safety, HACCP, hygiene, traceability and audit ready production controls
Supporting the development of simple, scalable production systems
Using production data and KPIs to identify practical improvements
Supporting continuous improvement projects across the site
Growing towards full Production Manager responsibility

Experience that would be useful

Experience leading people in a manufacturing, production or operational environment
A practical understanding of production flow, planning, quality and efficiency
Experience working with KPIs or performance targets
Confidence using Excel or production systems
Experience in food manufacturing, FMCG or chilled production would be helpful, but is not essential
