Job Description
P&G is a leading company in the manufacture of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), making some of the world’s best loved brands like Gillette, Fairy, and Oral B. Here in Manchester, we've been making P&G products at our Trafford Park site for the past 90 years and after some exciting new investments are looking to recruit motivated technicians to join our Pampers manufacturing team.
We are looking for skilled individuals with a proven track record of people and technical leadership in a fast-moving manufacturing environment to join us as Deputy Team Leaders.
In this role, you will:
- Develop the technical capability required to operate the production line
- Lead the team in the Team Leader’s absence
- Ensure that manufacturing systems and standards are followed to deliver safe, high-quality, and efficient results
You will also:
- Diagnose and resolve complex mechanical and process issues
- Support maintenance and breakdown repairs
- Coach colleagues
- Work with support departments to improve performance
Your initial placement will be an extended onboarding period working days as part of a production line’s day support team. During this structured development phase, you will build an in-depth understanding of our technology, manufacturing systems, and leadership routines by supporting issue resolution, maintenance planning and execution, and our “run to target” approach.
Once you have demonstrated the required technical, systems, and leadership capability, you will transition to an operating team on shift and take on the full responsibilities of the Deputy Team Leader role. The plant operates 24 hours a day, and the role follows a 12.5-hour shift pattern that includes both days and nights.
