Full job description

Lead the Team Behind Manufacturing Excellence

At our Devon manufacturing facility, we believe great products start with great people.

Every day, our teams work together to deliver high-quality products through innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to continuous improvement. We're proud of the standards we achieve, but we're equally proud of the culture we've built, one where people are trusted, supported, and encouraged to contribute new ideas.

As we continue to grow and invest in our operations, we're looking for a Production Manager who shares our passion for excellence and wants to play a key role in shaping the future of our manufacturing environment.

Great leadership creates lasting impact far beyond the production floor.

Why This Role Feels Different

This isn't just about hitting production targets.

It's about leading people, developing capability, and creating an environment where teams can perform at their very best.

As our Production Manager, you'll have the opportunity to influence how we operate, identify opportunities for improvement, and lead meaningful change across our manufacturing function. From production planning and process optimisation to team development and major investment projects, you'll play a central role in our continued success.

We trust our leaders to make an impact. We encourage fresh thinking, continuous improvement, and collaboration across every area of the business.

If you're someone who enjoys developing people as much as improving processes, you'll find plenty of opportunity here.

The Role: Production Manager

We're looking for an experienced and driven Production Manager to lead our manufacturing operations and help us deliver outstanding performance across safety, quality, delivery, and efficiency.

Working closely with teams across production, procurement, and projects, you'll ensure our manufacturing operation runs smoothly while driving continuous improvement and supporting future growth.

This role is ideal for a hands-on leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys balancing strategic planning with day-to-day operational leadership.

What You'll Be Doing

Leading our daily manufacturing operations to ensure production targets, quality standards, and customer delivery commitments are consistently achieved
Developing and executing production plans that effectively balance resource, capacity, and customer demand
Identifying bottlenecks, improving workflows, and implementing continuous improvement initiatives to enhance productivity and reduce waste
Using Six Sigma methodologies to improve operational performance, increase OEE, and drive cost efficiencies
Leading significant CAPEX projects that support growth and operational excellence
Collaborating closely with colleagues across supply chain, procurement, quality, and other departments to ensure seamless business operations
Coaching, mentoring, and developing our production teams to build capability and engagement
Creating a culture of accountability, teamwork, safety, and continuous improvement
Ensuring compliance with all health, safety, quality, and regulatory requirements
Using production data and performance metrics to identify opportunities and support informed decision-making
Supporting ongoing operational improvements that strengthen our manufacturing capability

What Makes You a Great Fit

You'll thrive in this role if you:

Have proven experience leading manufacturing or engineering production operations
Experience in a busy production environment with a high number of materials within a company with a turnover of £10million+.
Understand and have applied Six Sigma principles within a manufacturing environment
Enjoy leading change and driving continuous improvement initiatives
Have experience delivering large-scale CAPEX projects
Possess strong production scheduling and capacity planning experience
Have experience developing and cross-training production teams
Are a people-focused leader who can inspire, motivate, and develop others
Use data and operational metrics to support decision-making and problem-solving
Build positive working relationships across all levels of a business

Desirable

Six Sigma qualification

What You'll Get Back

We're committed to creating an environment where our people can build rewarding careers while making a genuine impact.

Competitive salary
Healthcare scheme
Pension scheme
Company mobile phone
Company IT equipment

And most importantly:

The opportunity to shape and influence our manufacturing operation
A collaborative and forward-thinking working environment
The chance to lead meaningful improvement projects
The opportunity to develop talented teams and future leaders
A role where your contribution will be recognised and valued

The Bigger Picture

This role is about more than managing production.

It's about:

Building high-performing teams
Driving operational excellence
Creating a culture of continuous improvement
Leading positive change
Delivering long-term business success
Helping shape the future of our manufacturing operation

If you're an experienced Production Manager who enjoys developing people, improving performance, and leading from the front, we'd love to hear from you.

Pay: £55,000.00-£65,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Company events
Company pension
Free flu jabs
Free parking
On-site parking

Work Location: In person
