Jobs in Swanton Morley

Production Manager - Electrical Engineering | Norwich 

Are you an experienced production professional with a strong electrical engineering background, looking for a role where you can make a real impact?

Our client is a specialist manufacturer with a strong reputation in their field, and they're looking for a Production Manager who's ready to take ownership, lead a skilled team, and play a central part in an exciting period of growth.

This isn't a desk job. You'll be on the floor, driving standards, solving problems, and shaping the way things are done - from the way panels are wired and tested to the way apprentices are trained and developed.

What You'll Be Doing

Day to day, you'll take full ownership of production - planning workloads, managing resources, and making sure every project leaves the building on time and to the highest standard. You'll lead a team of skilled engineers and technicians, set the tone for quality and safety, and play a hands-on role in bringing on the next generation of talent through apprentice mentoring.

You'll also work closely with the wider engineering and operations team to continuously improve processes, resolve technical challenges, and support the business as it scales.

What We're Looking For

You'll need a solid background in electrical panel building, switchgear or control systems, with real experience managing production in a workshop or manufacturing environment. You should be comfortable reading schematics, leading people, and keeping multiple projects moving at once.

Experience with HV/LV systems or protection schemes would be a bonus, as would any previous involvement in apprentice training or working within an ISO-certified environment.

Why This Role?

This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a business that's growing, that cares about quality, and that gives its people real responsibility. You'll have the support of an experienced operations team, a clear remit, and the chance to put your stamp on how production is run.

Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
Key leadership role with genuine influence
Stable, professional and supportive working environment
Real scope for career progression as the business grows
