The Company
We are a dynamic, expanding specialist glass and glazing manufacturer supplying trade, commercial, and bespoke markets. With continued investment in technology, automation, and customer service, we are now seeking an Operations Manager to coordinate and elevate all day-to-day functions across our production facility and office operations.
The Role
As the Operations Manager you will take ownership of the smooth running of the entire operation — from manufacturing workflow, liaising with the Production team to customer-facing office functions. This is a hands-on leadership role suited to someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and understands the unique demands of a production environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Production coordination — Oversee daily manufacturing activities, ensuring output, quality, and efficiency
- Workflow management — Plan, schedule, and optimise production through the production manager to meet customer deadlines
- Office operations — Liaise with the processing, estimating, order management, and customer service teams.
- Cross-functional leadership — Ensure seamless communication between factory and office functions
- Continuous improvement — Identify opportunities to streamline processes and enhance performance
- Health & safety oversight — Maintain compliance and promote a safe working environment
- Customer focus — Support strong relationships through reliable delivery and responsive service
About You
You’re an organised, proactive operations leader with a manufacturing background and can demonstrate the ability to coordinate multiple moving parts.
Essential Experience
- Proven experience in manufacturing operations, this could be in any structured manufacturing environment; an understanding of glass and glazing would be great, but not essential.
- Strong understanding of production flow, quality control, and scheduling
- Experience overseeing office-based functions such as processing, estimating, and customer service
- Confident managing multi-disciplinary teams in a fast-paced environment
- A structured, solutions-focused approach with excellent communication skills
What We Offer
- Competitive salary and benefits, with excellent growth potential.
- A growing, well-invested business with strong market demand
- The opportunity to shape and develop operational processes
- A supportive leadership team and a role with genuine influence
