Production Shift Manager (Double Days) Food Manufacturing South Yorkshire £58,000 + Benefits Monday Friday rotating: 5:30am - 2:00pm / 2:00pm - 10:00pm
There are Shift Manager jobs where you spend your day firefighting because the operation is held together with tape and hope. And then there are Shift Manager jobs where you are actually trusted to lead. This is the second one.
I am recruiting for a food manufacturing business that is investing heavily into people, process and performance. They need an experienced Shift Manager to take ownership of a high-risk production area and help drive standards, culture and results across the shift. This is not a keep things ticking over role. They want someone visible on the floor. Someone who can challenge standards, improve performance, develop teams and create structure in a fast‑paced environment where quality and food safety genuinely matter.
You will be leading a sizeable team within a complex high‑risk operation, working closely with Technical, Engineering, Planning and Senior Operations to keep production running safely, efficiently and to retailer standards. It’s the kind of environment where good managers are given autonomy, backed properly and expected to make an impact.
You’ll probably suit this role if you enjoy leading from the front, improving processes rather than accepting that we’ve always done it, and creating accountability without damaging culture.
Background
They’re looking for someone with previous management experience within food manufacturing or FMCG, ideally within a high-care or high‑risk environment, who understands how to manage performance, engage teams and operate effectively in a fast‑paced production setting.
