Be at the Heart of Building Something New

Are you ready to take on a rare opportunity to shape and lead a brand-new manufacturing facility from the ground up?

If so, we're looking for an experienced and dynamic
Operations Manager
to help establish a state-of-the-art manufacturing and assembly facility.

In this pivotal role, you'll lead the commissioning and setup of our new production, assembly and test teams working closely with international transfer teams as operations are consolidated from overseas sites. You'll also recruit and develop a talented team to deliver world-class results in safety, quality, and delivery.

If you're motivated by building teams, improving processes, and delivering measurable results in a fast paced, complex electro-mechanical assembly manufacturing environment — this is your chance to make a lasting impact.

Key accountabilities as Operations Manager:

  • Recruit, manage, and develop
    a team of Team Leaders, Technicians, and Test Engineers.
  • Create a culture of accountability and continuous improvement, aligned with lean principles.
  • Support the initial transfer of manufacturing from overseas facilities.
  • Drive team performance through clear objectives, coaching, and hands-on leadership.

Deliver Operational Excellence

  • Achieve key operational KPIs — including
    On-Time Delivery (OTD)
    ,
    Out-of-Box Defects (OOB)
    ,
    Past Due Backlog (PDBL)
    , and efficiency targets.
  • Plan and forecast
    revenue and costs
    , ensuring operational budgets are met.
  • Oversee
    inventory management
    and calibration processes in partnership with Supply Chain and Engineering teams.
  • Ensure seamless day-to-day production flow and proactive issue resolution.

Collaborate Across the Business

  • Work closely with
    Procurement, Distribution, Engineering, and Quality
    teams to ensure operational alignment.
  • Support audits, manage non-conformance investigations, and maintain top-tier product quality.
  • Partner with
    Customer Service and After-Sales
    teams to ensure excellent delivery performance and customer satisfaction.

To succeed in this key Operations Management role, you will ideally bring:

  • 10+ years' experience in
    Operations or Production Management
    within a technical manufacturing environment (ideally £25M+ turnover).
  • Prior experience with manufacturing transfer/s
  • Proven success leading
    multi-skilled technical teams
    in a cross-functional structure.
  • Strong understanding of
    Health & Safety Management
    and lean manufacturing practices.
  • Hands-on experience in
    electro-mechanical or similarly complex manufacturing environments.
  • Degree or HNC in
    Electronic, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering
    (or equivalent expereince).
  • Passionate about
    developing people, driving results, and delivering excellence.

If you're excited by the idea of leading a major operational transformation and building a high-performing team from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.
