Are you a hands-on leader, ready to take on a fresh challenge with a leading manufacturer?

Modus Careers is looking for a talented Production Manager to join one of our esteemed clients based in Letchworth. If you thrive in fast-paced environments and excel at managing diverse teams and complex machinery, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

About the Role:

As the Production Manager, you’ll oversee the full production process from manufacturing and printing through to despatch. This is a hands-on role where you’ll take charge of factory operations, ensuring smooth and efficient production and on-time delivery of goods. You’ll be managing a core team of 35 full-time employees, with an additional 20 temporary staff brought in during peak periods. Your leadership will be key to maintaining high standards while meeting tight deadlines.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and manage the production team, including direct reports such as the Manufacturing Manager and Print Manager.
  • Oversee the performance of a wide range of machinery, including CNC, laser, wood, metal, and plastic-operating equipment.
  • Manage production schedules to meet short lead times and adapt to high-pressure demands, particularly around public holidays (e.g. Christmas).
  • Collaborate with senior leadership to ensure production goals align with overall business objectives.
  • Ensure quality control and continuous improvement initiatives are in place to maintain high standards.
  • Handle staffing requirements, including recruitment and management of temporary staff during busy periods.
  • Work closely with other departments to ensure seamless operations and timely product deliveries.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience in a production management role, ideally in a hands-on, fast-paced environment.
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate and manage a diverse team.
  • Familiarity with a wide range of machinery, including CNC, lasers, and other equipment used in wood, metal, and plastic production.
  • Excellent organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to thrive under pressure.
  • A forward-thinking mindset with a passion for implementing new ideas and improvements.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills.

Working Hours:

  • Core hours are 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday to Friday.
  • Flexibility required during peak periods, including potential weekend and evening shifts.

What’s on Offer:

  • Competitive salary package + bonus, with flexibility to attract top talent.
  • An opportunity to lead a committed team and make a significant impact on the company’s success.
  • A dynamic and supportive working environment, with a strong focus on continuous improvement.

If you’re ready to take on this exciting role and bring your skills to a thriving manufacturer, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now
