What matters most is your ability to organise, solve problems, and deliver results in a manufacturing environment.

· Ensure accurate production data and reporting
· Identify and implement process improvements
· Support and guide shop floor teams
· Maintain high standards in paperwork and administrative duties.
About You

· Production Engineer, Production scheduler, or Production Manager
· Manufacturing Supervisor / Team Leader
· Process or Continuous Improvement role
· Practical and hands-on
· Organised and able to manage multiple priorities
· Comfortable working between systems and shop floor
· Confident using ERP systems and production data
· Focused on improving how things work, not just maintaining them
· A level of flexibility on shift times to provide cover and handover (some early start and/or later finishes).

· Production scheduling or planning experience
· Understanding of manufacturing processes
· Experience improving efficiency, flow, or output
