Location: Romford

Industry: Food Manufacturing

Salary: £55,000 - £65,000

This is a senior site leadership role with genuine strategic influence and the scope to shape the future of the night shift culture.

Operational Performance: Manage shift-based teams to achieve a >95% conformance to plan, ensuring seamless service levels for the Supply Chain Planning function.
Quality & Hygiene: Maintain strict product quality, food safety, and hygiene standards through robust operational control, compliance, and equipment clean downs.
Cost & KPI Management: Deliver standard cost measures across materials, labor, and overhead budgets by tracking daily, weekly, and periodic KPIs.
People & Culture: Own the employee journey on your shift-from recruitment and training to holiday scheduling and performance feedback. Drive a positive, evolving culture aligned with company values.
Stakeholder Collaboration: Build strong working relationships across departments, collaborating closely with Quality, Engineering, EHS, Finance, and NPD.
About You

Industry Experience: Proven senior leadership experience within food manufacturing or FMCG (ideally in value-add sectors like bakery, ready meals, protein, or extrusion).
Environment: Direct experience working within high-risk manufacturing facilities.
Change Management: A strong track record of leading teams through operational change and growth.
Leadership Style: A practical, people-focused leader who is visible on the shop floor, honest, and accountable.
Talent Development: Experienced in nurturing workforce culture, developing team capabilities, and implementing succession planning.
Continuous Improvement: Ability to establish best practices and lean manufacturing methods.
