We're searching for a
hands-on Production Shift Manager
to lead the evening operation across
framing and slabs

  • Maintain a skills matrix and drive cross-training for resilience.

Shift Performance & Output Delivery

  • Deliver the daily plan across framing and slabs with the right WIP for assembly.
  • Run Short Interval Control: track performance, manage variances and drive recovery actions.
  • Monitor throughput (press, slabs, CNC, frames) and optimise labour utilisation.

Quality & RFT

  • Ensure adherence to SWIs, quality standards and specifications.
  • Support root-cause analysis for scrap, rework and RFT issues.
  • Escalate quality concerns promptly.

Communication & Handover

  • Lead structured start- and end-of-shift meetings.
  • Communicate priorities, issues and expectations throughout the shift.
  • Complete accurate daily handovers to set up the morning shift for success.

Continuous Improvement

  • Identify and lead improvements in safety, flow, quality and cost.
  • Support 5S, SIC discipline, standard work continuity and small improvement projects.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience managing a production shift or team within manufacturing.
  • Strong record of delivering output, cost, quality and safety KPIs.
  • Confident using data, trackers and systems (ERP/production tracker/Excel).
  • Effective people leader who can set pace, hold standards and drive engagement.
  • Hands-on, calm and confident on the shop floor.
  • Continuous improvement mindset.

Desirable:
machining, joinery, CNC, wood products or lean experience.

In Return

Solidcor offer a supportive, fast-paced manufacturing environment with genuine opportunities to grow alongside the business. Benefits include:

  • Unlimited annual leave
    policy
  • Private medical cover
    after 3 months
  • Performance-based bonus scheme

    on the late shift
  • The chance to help shape a scaling operation and influence future ways of working
