Manufacturing Manager

This is a hands-on, lead-from-the-floor role for someone who lives and breathes production. You’ll own our lines day to day - driving output, keeping the machinery humming, reducing inefficiency and making sure everything ships on time, looking sharp. If your idea of a good day is a line running flat-out, right-first-time, with zero drama, you’ll feel right at home. We launched in 2020 and we haven’t stopped growing since. New high-speed sleeving lines, bigger premises, smarter tech, and a serious push into automation and AI. We’re scaling quickly, investing in new lines, automation and better systems - and we need a Manufacturing Manager who can bring pace, discipline and control to a growing production operation. What’s in it for you • We’re not a finished company — we’re a growing one, and that means real opportunity. As we scale, the people who help build the engine room get to grow with it. • Get in early on a genuine growth story — your fingerprints will be on how we scale. • Real progression — we believe in promoting from within as new roles and shifts open up. • Be part of our automation and AI journey — help shape a smarter, more modern operation, not just run yesterday’s. • A friendly, no-jargon, no-nonsense team that actually enjoys the work. • Modern kit, modern tech, and a business that invests in doing things properly. What you’ll be doing • Driving the production lines — owning throughput, output and pace, and leading from the shop floor. • Getting the best from our machinery — set-up, changeovers, calibration and running adjustments to keep every line at full tilt. • Staying ahead of breakdowns with a proactive, preventative maintenance regime. • Hunting down waste and downtime, and making the whole operation leaner and faster. • Keeping quality, cleanliness and safety standards high — no exceptions. • Leading, coaching and holding the production team to clear standards around output, quality, safety and pace. You’ll fit right in if you’re… • Genuinely hands-on — happiest on the floor, sleeves rolled up, close to the kit. • Driven and decisive, with a real bias for action and a need to hit the numbers. • A stickler for standards — you don’t let ‘near enough’ slide. • Machinery-confident — you know your way around production equipment and can fault-find on the fly. • A natural pace-setter who can rally a team and hold a high bar without losing the room. • Experienced in manufacturing, contract packing or a fast-moving production environment.
