About the Opportunity
My client is an established food manufacturing business in Central Scotland that is entering an exciting phase of growth and operational transformation. If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely influence how a manufacturing operation is run, challenge existing ways of working, and leave a lasting impact on the business, then this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for. It's an opportunity for someone who has ambitions of progressing into a General Manager role in the future.
Responsibilities
The leadership team is looking for someone who can bring their own Lean and Continuous Improvement mindset to the site. You'll naturally take ownership, set the pace for your team, and enjoy challenging existing ways of working to improve performance, people, and processes. You'll have the autonomy and backing to make the improvements that will shape the operation's future direction.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Safety is at the heart of the business, so you'll be someone who leads by example and creates a culture where high standards are simply the norm. Ideally, you'll hold IOSH Managing Safely or NEBOSH qualifications, with HACCP certification an advantage.
The environment is fast-paced and, like any growing manufacturing business, won't always be straightforward. The person who succeeds here will be resilient, comfortable making difficult decisions, and confident in challenging existing ways of working when they know there is a better solution.
