Job Description

This is a role for someone who enjoys being close to the process, thrives on data-led decision making, and gets genuine satisfaction from seeing improvements take root on the shop floor - not just on paper. At the heart of the operation sits a complex, fast-moving production environment. Your mission will be to identify, plan and deliver meaningful improvements that drive quality, productivity and cost performance - while strengthening the link between core production and downstream operations. You'll be trusted with real responsibility, supported by an engaged senior leadership team, and given the space to make your mark. This isn't about firefighting - it's about building capability, embedding best practice and leaving things better than you found them.

  • Creating, embedding and maintaining clear standard operating procedures
  • Strengthening integration between core production and conversion teams through targeted projects, reviews and feedback loops
  • Acting as a key link between production, engineering, quality and planning to ensure alignment and flow
  • Coaching Charge Hands and operational teams through process changes and new ways of working
  • Identifying training and change-management needs and helping teams adapt confidently
  • Developing tools to track, analyse and report KPIs that genuinely drive performance
  • Supporting investigations into quality concerns and customer complaints through detailed data interrogation
  • Championing health, safety and environmental excellence - leading by example at all times

Requirements

  • Proven experience in a manufacturing process improvement or CI role
  • Strong analytical capability with confidence using data to drive decisions
  • Experience working closely with production teams in fast-paced environments
  • Exposure to process control systems (Escada knowledge is advantageous)
  • Understanding of operational management platforms such as OMP would be beneficial
  • Naturally collaborative with strong interpersonal skills
  • Performance-driven, organised and results-oriented
  • Comfortable taking a strategic view while staying hands-on
  • Calm, credible and able to influence without authority
  • Curious, resilient and motivated by continuous improvement

Nice to have

  • Escada knowledge
  • Understanding of operational management platforms such as OMP
