Production Manager (manufacturing)

Are you on the lookout for a new challenge as a Production Manager? Do you want a new role where you can genuinely take ownership of the production department and make it your own? Then THIS could be the ideal opportunity for you.

I'm working with a specialist manufacturing company based in Blackburn who are going through sustained growth and who are now looking for an experienced & driven Production Manager to lead their production function.

What you'll be doing:

As the Production Manager, you'll play a key role in overseeing the production process, ensuring products are manufactured on time, to specification, and within budget. You'll be responsible for:

• Managing the day-to-day operations on the production floor and driving high productivity
• Line management of 15 Production Operatives.
• Having recently moved sites, you will take ownership of the production department and will develop and implement policies & processes from scratch, so you'll be able to 'put your stamp' on things.
• Ensuring Health & Safety procedures are followed and driving continuous improvement
• Overseeing quality control processes and ensuring on-time deliveries
• Reporting on KPIs, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing cost-saving measures
• Collaborating closely with other departments to optimise production efficiency

What you will need to be successful in this role:

• Proven experience in a production management role from within the manufacturing industry.
• Strong leadership and people management skills, with experience in managing a diverse production team
• Excellent organisational and problem-solving skills with an eye for detail
• Experience of working at Production Manager level already (this role would not suit for someone looking to take a 'step up' due to the nature of this role).

• Competitive salary (£35k-£45k) commensurate with experience.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development as the company continues to grow.
• A supportive and collaborative work environment where your contributions are highly valued.
• 28 days holiday and free on-site parking.
• A great workplace culture and team socials, including a Christmas party.
• This permanent role offers you the chance to lead a production team, optimise key processes, and make a real impact on the company's operations. This is a genuinely fulfilling position where the work you do will have a lasting impact - so you can leave the office at the end of the day knowing that you've done a great job.
