West Midlands
Full time - competitive salary, private medical, annual performance bonus
Take full operational ownership of a food manufacturing site, with the backing of a group that's genuinely growing.
A food business that distributes across the UK food sector, supplying major national retailers, foodservice businesses from its West Midlands base. We're looking for a Site Manager to lead the site. This is the top job on site. Manufacturing, engineering, warehousing, facilities, health and safety all of it yours, reporting directly to the Group Operations Manager.
What you'll own
The whole operation, day to day. Production plans delivered consistently, KPIs met across production, warehousing and distribution, and machine uptime improved rather than merely maintained.
The safety and food safety culture. Not the paperwork the culture. BRCGS, GMP and statutory compliance are the floor, not the ambition.
The numbers. Waste and operating costs down, budgets controlled, site profitability supported, with accurate daily and monthly reporting into senior leadership.
The people. Recruiting, coaching and developing a multi-disciplinary team, and creating the kind of accountability where everyone knows what's expected and has what they need to deliver it.
The improvements. Continuous improvement, controlled change properly embedded, capital projects identified, justified and delivered, and operational data used to make better decisions.
What you'll bring

A track record leading multi-disciplinary teams.
BRCGS experience and HACCP Level 3 or 4.
