About the company
ATA Recruitment are working with a major manufacturing group with a 35% market share, £300m+ turnover and over 2,000 employees across the UK.
The Kirton site is an established, high-volume operation producing almost 100 million units every year, supplying some of the UK's most recognisable construction brands.
They're now looking for a Production Shift Manager to lead a team of around 15 operators.
About the role
This is a people-first leadership role.
The site is established and performing at a high level, but there are challenges around culture, engagement, accountability and consistency. Your job will be to bring the team with you, raise standards and create an environment where people want to perform.
You'll be responsible for:
Leading, coaching and developing a team of around 15 operators
Building strong relationships and creating a positive team culture
Setting clear expectations around performance, behaviour and safety
Managing production against output, yield, waste and safety KPIs
Leading production meetings and shift handovers
Addressing performance and behavioural issues when required
Supporting training and development across the team
Working closely with other departments to resolve issues
Acting as site lead during nights and weekends
This isn't a role where you'll simply manage numbers from an office. You'll need to be visible, approachable and willing to get stuck in.
About you
We're looking for an experienced production leader who genuinely enjoys developing people.
You'll ideally have:
Previous experience as a Production Manager, Shift Manager, Production Shift Manager, Production Supervisor or similar
Strong people-management and leadership skills
Experience managing production teams and KPIs
The confidence to challenge poor performance and behaviours
Excellent communication skills
A resilient, practical approach to problem solving
IOSH Managing Safely – desirable
ILM or similar – desirable
Most importantly, you're someone who puts people first without compromising on standards or accountability.
Benefits
£53,272 salary
Up to 8% annual bonus
15% total pension contribution
Employee share purchase scheme
4 on, 4 off shift pattern
Genuine career progression across a large manufacturing group
Internal and external training, including IOSH, NEBOSH and management qualifications
The wider business has 300+ employees with 25+ years' service, with previous employees progressing from Shift Leader to Plant Manager within around five years.
