Runcorn, United Kingdom CRG TEC Full time

**Process Improvement Manager**
**- £55k - £60k & private health, 23 day holiday, bonus (around 8-10%), excellent pension**
**- Cheshire**

**Overview**:
Process Improvement. The Holy Grail within manufacturing and the Everest of true engineering, where ideas save time, money, improve manufacturing processes and make things justBetter.

Most companies preach it but very few genuinely embrace, implement change and see the benefits that come with it. So how does working for a world leader in their sector, who have seen their UK turnover increase from £30m to £60m with huge investment in newstate of the art manufacturing equipment sound?

On that basis, we are looking for a Process Improvement Manager to come in to lead this part of our business. A role where you are given complete autonomy and you tell us what to do - not the other way round - in a proper engineering environment.

**It's all about you**

Whilst we are open to the person here, someone who experience of leading a team and implementing change in an "engineered product" environment.

Our processes are already very good, but they can always be better and we know this. So in terms of investment, equipment... that's as sharp as you can get. But this is for someone who wants to use this opportunity as a stepping stone in to more senior managementand Directorship.

So someone who still hasn't peaked in their career and still wants more, but can really implement change in a heavy hitting role from day 1 with lean and CI methodologies (so Six Sigma, Kaizen, Kanban etc.)

**The role itself**:
As alluded to already, you will be leading this department and, in a nutshell, responsible for project leadership of new product lines, development of new manufacturing technology in support of new product lines or major improvements in existing productlines.

We have seen our headcount and turnover near enough double, so have had significant investment in our production and a lot more to come, so we need someone to lead how we can get out best return on investment.

You'll have a team of around 5 Manufacturing Engineer and 4 Process Leaders underneath you, but real autonomy to make the changes you want.

**The company and culture**:
These are a multinational company and world leaders in what they do with manufacture with sites all over the world. The product they manufacture go in to some of the world's most well-known and leading originations across the world, with real synergy withthe automotive sector.

Although they are worldwide, the UK part of the business looks after the European markets so it has the feel if a smaller company where you can really get things done, but with the financial backing and brand of a world leader - a very rare combination.

They invest massively heavily in their staff and really believe in further education / further training as they see it will benefit both yourself and their manufacturing processes (which is rare these days).
