Food & Drink Manufacturing Recruitment Agency

Location: East Yorkshire
Shift Pattern: Monday to Thursday (40 hours)
Overview: Ready to take ownership of a fast-paced manufacturing operation and make a genuine impact on the factory floor?
We’re working with an established food manufacturer looking to appoint a Manufacturing Manager into a newly created position within its operations team.

This is a hands-on leadership role with responsibility for the day-to-day performance of a busy, short-shelf-life manufacturing operation, leading through a team of experienced Section and Team Leaders.

With new business creating further growth across the site, they need someone who can bring structure, accountability and strong operational leadership while continuing to develop the people and processes around them.

Why this role?
This isn’t a role where you’ll spend your week sitting behind a desk.

You’ll be highly visible across the factory floor, working closely with your teams to ensure the production plan is delivered safely, efficiently and to the required quality standards.

The role has been created to strengthen the operational structure as the business grows, giving you the opportunity to take real ownership and influence how the factory performs.

You’ll have experienced people around you, but they’re looking for someone who can challenge where needed, develop the leadership team and continually look for ways to improve performance.

And with a Monday to Thursday working week, it offers something increasingly difficult to find within food manufacturing.

What will you be doing?
You’ll take ownership of a broad production remit, including:

• Leading the day-to-day manufacturing operation and ensuring the production plan is achieved.
• Managing and developing a team of Section and Team Leaders across the operation.
• Maintaining a strong presence on the factory floor, supporting teams and resolving operational issues as they arise.
• Driving performance across throughput, labour efficiency, waste and productivity.
• Ensuring high standards of food safety, GMP, health & safety and quality are maintained.
• Reviewing production performance and identifying opportunities to improve processes and ways of working.
• Ensuring labour and resources are effectively deployed against production requirements.
• Building accountability and consistency across the operational leadership team.
• Coaching and developing Team and Section Leaders to strengthen capability across the factory.
• Working closely with Technical, Planning, Engineering, Despatch and wider Operations teams.
• Supporting continuous improvement initiatives and helping embed a culture of ongoing operational improvement.
• Responding quickly to changing production requirements within a fast-paced, short-shelf-life environment.

About the business
Our client is an established UK food manufacturer with a significant production operation and a strong reputation within its market.

The site employs approximately 180 people, with more than 120 working across factory operations, and continued commercial growth is creating further opportunities across the business.

This Manufacturing Manager position is a newly created role, providing additional operational leadership and helping the site successfully manage its next stage of growth.

It’s an opportunity to join a close-knit manufacturing business where you can be visible, have genuine influence and see the impact of the decisions you make.

What are they looking for?
Essential

• Previous experience in a Manufacturing Manager, Production Manager, Operations Manager, Production Shift Manager or similar operational leadership position.
• Strong experience within fresh or short-shelf-life food manufacturing.
• Proven experience leading production teams through Team Leaders, Section Leaders or Supervisors.
• A hands-on leadership style and willingness to spend significant time on the factory floor.
• Strong understanding of production planning, labour, throughput, efficiency and waste.
• Good knowledge of food safety, GMP and health & safety within a manufacturing environment.
• Experience managing performance and developing operational teams.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to make decisions in a fast-moving environment.
• A continuous improvement mindset and the confidence to challenge existing ways of working.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with Technical, Engineering, Planning and other departments.

What’s in it for you?

• £40,000 - £50,000 salary
• Monday to Thursday working week, offering a genuine three-day weekend.
• A senior operational position with the freedom to make decisions and implement your own ideas.
• The opportunity to work closely with the senior leadership team and have a real voice in how the operation develops.
• Scope to strengthen your experience across people leadership, operational performance and continuous improvement.
• The opportunity to join at an important stage for the business, with new customer wins and increased production volumes creating further opportunities.
• A role where good performance and improvements are visible and recognised, rather than getting lost within a large corporate structure.

Previous livestock experience is essential. This could come from livestock buying, farming, agricultural markets, auctioneering or another closely related background where you have developed a strong practical understanding of cattle and/or sheep.

Why this role?
If you already know the livestock industry and want to develop the commercial side of your career, this is an opportunity to combine your agricultural knowledge with procurement and relationship management.

You won’t be confined to a desk. A significant part of the role involves getting out into the agricultural community, visiting farms, speaking directly with producers and developing long-term supplier relationships.

You’ll also gain exposure to the wider food manufacturing process, developing an understanding of how livestock procurement connects with supply chain, animal welfare, production, carcass yields, customer specifications and production planning.

Joining an established procurement team, you’ll have the opportunity to build on your existing livestock knowledge while developing further commercially within a major food manufacturing environment.

You’ll take responsibility for a broad livestock procurement remit, including:

• Procuring cattle and sheep from livestock suppliers through regular farm visits and direct communication.

• Building and maintaining strong, long-term relationships with farmers and the wider supplier base.

• Working with farmers, livestock agents, hauliers and other suppliers to coordinate livestock deliveries.

• Ensuring livestock is sourced in accordance with relevant farm assurance requirements.

• Monitoring livestock quality, availability and wider market conditions.

• Providing livestock procurement advice and market information to management when required.

• Ensuring animal welfare legislation and company procedures are followed in relation to the safe movement and handling of livestock.

• Attending agricultural shows and other relevant industry events.

About the business
Our client is an established food manufacturing business with a significant presence across the UK.

Agriculture and livestock procurement sit at the heart of its operation, with the business working closely with farmers and suppliers to maintain a consistent supply of high-quality livestock for its customer base.

The business continues to invest in its operations and supply network, making this an opportunity to join an established procurement function where strong relationships with the agricultural community are fundamental to its success.

You’ll be joining a business that can also give you exposure beyond livestock purchasing, allowing you to develop your understanding of the wider journey from farm through to finished product.

What are they looking for?
Essential

• Previous experience working within the livestock or agricultural sector.

• Practical knowledge of cattle and/or sheep.

• Experience that could come from livestock buying, farming, agricultural markets, auctioneering or a closely related livestock background.

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the confidence to work directly with farmers and suppliers.

• Commercial awareness and an interest in developing further within livestock procurement.

• Highly motivated, ambitious and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment.

• Strong organisational and time-management skills.

• The ability to work independently and manage a role involving regular travel.

• Comfortable working under pressure and adapting to changing market conditions.

• Good attention to detail.

• Competent using Microsoft Office.

• Previous livestock procurement or buying experience.

• Knowledge of the Scottish livestock market and supplier base.

• Pension scheme.

• Permanent, full-time position.

• A varied role combining livestock, agriculture, procurement and food manufacturing.

• The opportunity to develop your commercial and procurement experience within an established food manufacturing business.

• Exposure to the wider supply chain and manufacturing process.

• The opportunity to build long-term relationships across the Scottish agricultural community.
