Working autonomously and providing clear communication to the Site Manager on operational issues and opportunities

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone with proven operational leadership experience who is comfortable taking ownership and making decisions in a busy, fast-paced environment.

You'll ideally have:

Experience leading teams within FMCG, logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, production or a similar environment
Strong people and performance management experience
Experience working in a shift-based operation
A confident, hands-on approach and the ability to lead from the front
Strong communication and problem-solving skills
The ability to manage detail while keeping sight of the bigger operational picture
A strong focus on Health & Safety and quality
Good IT skills, including Excel, Word, Teams and operational reporting systems
The drive and resilience to take on challenges and improve the operation
A genuine team-player mentality with the confidence to lead, motivate and develop others

Experience within an FMCG environment would be advantageous, although we're open to candidates from other fast-paced, process-driven operational backgrounds.

We're open to candidates across the full salary range, so whether you're looking for your next step into a senior supervisory position or already operating at a higher level, we'd be keen to hear from you.
