Production Team Leader

Permanent – i54 Manufacturing Site | Production | 40 Hours Per Week

Lead from the front. Drive performance on the shop floor.

We're looking for an experienced Production Team Leader to join our Production team at our i54 manufacturing site, reporting to the Production Supervisor.

This is a hands-on leadership role with an 80/20 split — 80% of your time will be spent providing leadership, direction, and support to operatives within your team, and 20% actively working within the production area. You'll work closely with the Management Team to drive efficiency, maintain quality standards, and ensure KPIs and targets are consistently met.

You'll be responsible for the performance, development, and engagement of your team — from pre-shift briefings and labour planning through to performance management and continuous improvement. If you're a natural leader who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and takes pride in delivering results through people, this role offers real ownership, variety, and the opportunity to make a tangible impact every day.

What You Will Be Responsible For

You'll lead and support your team to deliver against production targets, quality standards, and operational KPIs.

Holding the team accountable for their performance, adhering to company processes and procedures
Conducting personal development reviews with team members

Production Planning & Delivery

Planning, organising, and managing labour resources to ensure the Production Plan is met
Running the assigned area of production in accordance with product specifications, company standards, and procedures regarding Safety, Quality, Quantity, and Cost
Reporting and supporting to achieve KPIs in your areas and escalating any roadblocks to the Supervisor

Communication & Collaboration

Carrying out team briefings at the start of each shift, ensuring KPIs are discussed and issues resolved
Attending and contributing to team meetings and wider management team meetings
Conducting T&A meetings and managing people within your shift
Working constructively with all areas of the business

Health, Safety & Continuous Improvement

Maintaining Health, Safety, and quality standards in accordance with company rules and regulations
Analysing key issues affecting equipment within your area of responsibility and taking or organising corrective action
Working closely with the Management Team to drive efficiency and effectiveness within the department

For This Role We Would Need You To Demonstrate

You'll be results-driven, people-focused, and confident leading from the front in a manufacturing environment.

Essential — You'll bring:

A proven track record in a similar role, ideally within a manufacturing environment
A clear understanding of people management, Health & Safety, and quality systems
Strong people management skills with the ability to drive performance and develop the team

Demonstrated leadership skills — confident, committed, and able to accept responsibility
Strong communication skills, both verbal and written in English
The ability to operate computers and computer software
Competence in having difficult conversations with team members to ensure alignment with targets and processes
The ability to develop effective working relationships across all departments

Desirable — Even better if you have:

Previous experience within a ceramics manufacturing environment
Familiarity with IT software including MS Office and ERP systems
Relevant qualifications including IOSH Managing Safely
Shop floor Lean experience

What Your Colleagues Say About You

A confident, hands-on leader who leads by example
Results-driven and accountable
Calm under pressure and decisive when it matters
A strong communicator who brings the team together
Proactive, dependable, and always focused on delivery
