Night Shift Manager

Food Manufacturing

South Yorkshire

Up to £51,000

Sunday to Tuesday & every other Saturday (17:30 – 06:00)

Some people enjoy the quiet of a night shift.

This isn't that.

This is the shift where every decision matters. Where production plans change, customer priorities move, vehicles still need loading on time, and you've got one chance to keep everything on track before the day team walks through the door.

If you're the type of Shift Manager who stays calm when everyone else starts panicking, keep reading.

We're recruiting a Night Shift Manager for a major food manufacturer in South Yorkshire.

This is a business that's growing fast, winning new contracts and continually investing back into its people, equipment and facilities. They've got an excellent reputation for developing their managers, and this vacancy exists because the current incumbent has progressed internally.

What you'll be walking into...

You'll be the most senior operational leader on site during the night shift.

Up to 10 production lines.

A team of up to 50 people across the shift.

One Team Manager reporting directly into you.

Your job isn't simply making sure production runs.

It's making sure production still delivers when plans inevitably change.

Orders move.

Priorities change.

Lines need switching.

Changeovers need managing efficiently.

Loading deadlines don't move.

You'll constantly be balancing labour, production priorities and customer requirements while making sure quality, safety and performance never slip.

It's a role for someone who enjoys solving problems rather than creating them.

You'll probably be a good fit if you...

Have experience as a Senior Production Shift Manager or Shift Manager within food manufacturing.
Have previously managed busy, high-volume production environments.
Stay calm when production plans change at short notice.
Can make quick decisions without losing sight of quality or safety.
Know how to get the best from Team Managers and production teams.
Ideally have experience leading night shifts (although strong days-based candidates with the right background will also be considered).

Why make the move?

This isn't a business standing still.

They're continuing to win new customers.

They're investing heavily across the operation.

People who perform here get recognised, developed and promoted.

If you're looking for somewhere you can genuinely build a long-term career rather than simply cover another night shift, this is worth a conversation.
