Low staff turnover. Less than 1%. Let that sink in for a second - in food manufacturing. People stay here. On average, for 7 years. That tells you pretty much everything you need to know about the culture, the leadership, and how the site is run.
Now, due to a wave of long-standing leaders retiring, there's a rare opening. This isn't a “steady the ship” role. This is a chance to step in and shape what comes next. You'll be reporting into the Site Director, with visibility at group level, leading a team of 20+ across technical.
It's a broad remit - roughly 70% customer-facing, 30% factory-facing - so you'll need to be as comfortable in front of retailers as you are on the shop floor. They don't need a manager. They need someone who knows what “great” looks like - and isn't afraid to raise the bar.
You'll be:
- Driving food safety culture forward (not just maintaining it)
- Improving standards across the factory
- Building stronger, more credible relationships with major retailers
- Bringing best practice back from head office and making it stick on site
This is a flagship operation, with a strong reputation already. But they're not interested in standing still.
What they're looking for:
- You've done this before or maybe you're banging at the door of making the step up.
- Factory Technical Manager, Site Technical Manager or Head of Technical level.
- You've worked with the big retailers.
