Manufacturing Manager

Hiring People

This is a hands-on, lead-from-the-floor role for someone who lives and breathes production. You’ll own our lines day to day – driving output, keeping the machinery humming, reducing inefficiency and making sure everything ships on time, looking sharp. If your idea of a good day is a line running flat-out, right-first-time, with zero drama, you’ll feel right at home.

We launched in 2020 and we haven’t stopped growing since. New high-speed sleeving lines, bigger premises, smarter tech, and a serious push into automation and AI. We’re scaling quickly, investing in new lines, automation and better systems – and we need a Manufacturing Manager who can bring pace, discipline and control to a growing production operation.

 What’s in it for you

  • We’re not a finished company — we’re a growing one, and that means real opportunity. As we scale, the people who help build the engine room get to grow with it.
  • Get in early on a genuine growth story — your fingerprints will be on how we scale.
  • Real progression — we believe in promoting from within as new roles and shifts open up.
  • Be part of our automation and AI journey — help shape a smarter, more modern operation, not just run yesterday’s.
  • A friendly, no-jargon, no-nonsense team that actually enjoys the work.
  • Modern kit, modern tech, and a business that invests in doing things properly.

 What you’ll be doing

  • Driving the production lines — owning throughput, output and pace, and leading from the shop floor.
  • Getting the best from our machinery — set-up, changeovers, calibration and running adjustments to keep every line at full tilt.
  • Staying ahead of breakdowns with a proactive, preventative maintenance regime.
  • Hunting down waste and downtime, and making the whole operation leaner and faster.
  • Keeping quality, cleanliness and safety standards high — no exceptions.
  • Leading, coaching and holding the production team to clear standards around output, quality, safety and pace.

You’ll fit right in if you’re…

  • Genuinely hands-on — happiest on the floor, sleeves rolled up, close to the kit.
  • Driven and decisive, with a real bias for action and a need to hit the numbers.
  • A stickler for standards — you don’t let ‘near enough’ slide.
  • Machinery-confident — you know your way around production equipment and can fault-find on the fly.
  • A natural pace-setter who can rally a team and hold a high bar without losing the room.
  • Experienced in manufacturing, contract packing or a fast-moving production environment.
