Production Manager

Ruth Wagstaff Recruitment • Permanent • Nottingham, Nottingham, England, United Kingdom • £60k - £65k / year • 3h ago

Great career opportunity for an experienced Production Manager / Manufacturing Manager to join a successful global company at their manufacturing site in South Nottingham, operating within the precision engineering sector.

As Production Manager, you will have responsibility for all production areas on site, managing a team of approximately 70 people.

This is a genuinely hands-on Production Manager role. The company is looking for someone who enjoys being visible on the shop floor, working closely with teams, making daily operational decisions and driving projects and improvements – rather than being sat behind a desk all day.

Set and monitor production goals and performance expectations.
Maximise machine utilisation and promote a strong TPM culture.

Manage production cost centres and identify cost reduction opportunities.
Ensure effective communication and collaboration across Production and other departments.
Work closely with Supply Chain on Make vs Buy decisions.
Support the introduction of new technologies, working with global teams where required.
Conduct appraisals and develop talent across the production team.

Experience Required

Proven experience as a Production Manager, Manufacturing Manager or Production Supervisor within precision engineering.
Experience managing teams in a CNC / precision manufacturing environment.
5+ years' people management experience.
Strong understanding of production planning, quality, engineering, Lean, finance, HR and IT.
Practical experience of Continuous Improvement / Lean Manufacturing.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Engineering / Manufacturing degree advantageous but not essential.
Six Sigma qualification advantageous.
