Production Manager – Huddersfield

Our client is a Huddersfield-based manufacturer looking to appoint a Production Manager for their fast-paced volume production site! Managing around 50 people on shift at any one time, the successful Production Manager will have previous experience in leading a team to meet daily KPIs, preferably in a time-sensitive, lean-focused, volume manufacturing environment (automotive, precision engineering, fabrication, plastic, glass, electronics, etc.). Working a permanent days role, there may be occasional anti-social hours when getting a point across to the shift workers in your team if production targets are not met by the shift. This is rare though. Although the majority of staff are permanent, at peak times your team may be strengthened with the addition of contract/agency staff. It would be beneficial for the Production Manager to have had previous experience of managing temporary staff. Previous work experience in a lean manufacturing environment would be advantageous, as would knowledge of continuous improvement. The Production Manager ultimately chosen for this role can come from a wide range of backgrounds. Applications are particularly encouraged by candidates from any volume manufacturing background with a skilled or semi-skilled workforce: automotive, precision engineering, fabrication, plastic, glass, electronics, etc. If this role could appeal, please apply now!
