Food Manufacturing
Fast-paced factory. High standards. No passengers.
We're recruiting for a Production Team Leader to join a busy food manufacturing business in Spalding. This role needs someone who can walk in, take control of the shift and lead from the front from day one.
If you're currently working as a Production Supervisor or Team Leader within food manufacturing and looking for your next step, this could be a strong move.
Reporting into the Production Manager, you'll be responsible for managing the day-to-day operation across your area, driving productivity, maintaining standards and keeping the team moving in the right direction - even when the wheels are wobbling slightly. Because let's be honest… in food manufacturing, they usually are.
The Role
Running production shifts within a fast-paced factory environment
Managing labour across production areas to ensure the shift is properly resourced
Leading, motivating and developing production operatives and line staff
Monitoring performance, productivity, waste and output levels
Challenging standards where needed and driving accountability across the floor
Completing Return to Work interviews and managing day-to-day people issues
Carrying out shift handovers and ensuring smooth communication between teams
Auditing paperwork and ensuring compliance standards are maintained
Supporting continuous improvement activity across the operation
Making sure safety, quality and retailer standards are met at all times
What We're Looking For
Previous experience as a Production Team Leader or Production Supervisor within food manufacturing
Someone comfortable working in a fast-moving, pressured factory environment
Strong people management skills - able to engage teams and hold standards
Experience managing KPIs, productivity and performance on shift
Understanding of retailer expectations and food manufacturing compliance
A hands-on approach with the confidence to make decisions quickly
This business needs a leader - not someone waiting to be told what to do.
If you can organise a shift, manage people properly and keep production moving when the pressure's on, we'd like to hear from you
