How you will do it

Your days will include working with all levels of the plants to establish and execute an improvement roadmap toward conversion cost gap reduction, assess the current state of the plant's operations and support the development of future state in correspondence with implementation planning and drive progression towards it.

This role will see you working closely with the Plant Managers in any strategic initiative that will help in compliance to standards, implementing new systems (Such as our JCMS) and designing creative solutions to continuously improve the plant. There is a requirement to oversee both plants in Stockport and Frome so there will be some travel, about 25%, or as you deem necessary as the role develops.
