Key Skills and Attributes · Practical, hands-on approach with a willingness to get involved on the shop floor. · Strong organisational skills and the ability to plan work effectively. · Good people management skills, with the ability to motivate, organise, and direct a team. · Calm and reliable under pressure, especially when working to production deadlines. · Good problem-solving ability and a practical approach to overcoming operational challenges. · Clear communication skills and the confidence to deal with people across the business. · High standards for quality, safety, housekeeping, and productivity. · Flexible, dependable, and willing to take ownership of the production operation.

What We Are Looking For This role would suit someone who enjoys being close to the work, likes organising people and processes, and takes pride in getting jobs completed properly and on time.
