Manufacturing Manager
to take full ownership of the Production function within a technically demanding engineering environment.
You'll be reporting directly into the Operations Director and will be accountable for the delivery of
Chemical Dosing Systems, MCC panels, and Electrical LCP builds

You'll be responsible for leading and developing Mechanical and Electrical production teams while ensuring projects are executed efficiently and safely.
Key responsibilities include:

- Driving a
right-first-time
culture across quality and build standards - Championing Health, Safety & Environmental compliance across the workshop
- Implementing continuous improvement and lean manufacturing practices
- Acting as the central point of contact for production-related stakeholder communication
- Proactively resolving issues before they hit cost, quality, or programme
- Developing departmental plans, KPIs, and structured training for your teams
This is a hands-on leadership role. You're expected to be visible, decisive, and commercially aware.
About You
You're an experienced Manufacturing or Production Manager who knows how to run a tight ship in a customer-focused engineering environment.
You'll bring:
- At least
3 years' leadership experience
in manufacturing or production - Strong working knowledge of
mechanical and electrical manufacturing
processes - Excellent planning and organisational capability
- Clear, confident communication and people leadership skills
- A strong, practical approach to Health & Safety
- Solid IT skills and comfort working with production systems
Desirable but not essential:
- HNC (or equivalent) in Engineering or Production
- IOSH or NEBOSH certification
- Experience with
MRP/ERP systems
and supply chain coordination
If you don't tick every box but know you can do the job, you should still apply.
What's on Offer
This is a stable, well-backed organisation operating at a high professional standard, with an impressive multi-billion-pound order book and a pipeline that supports long-term career progression.
In return, you'll receive:
- Competitive salary with headroom for the right individual
- Generous holiday allowance, increasing with service, with the option to buy more
- Comprehensive pension scheme
- Private medical scheme options
- Employee Assistance Programme with 24/7 support
- Save As You Earn share scheme
- Cycle to Work scheme
- Wide range of corporate discounts
- Paid annual membership to a relevant professional body
- Structured training, leadership development, and clear career paths
- Flexible and agile working arrangements where appropriate
You'll be joining a business that takes wellbeing seriously, invests in training, and values people who deliver.
