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.
What Will Make You Successful
We're looking for someone who combines strong leadership and influencing capability with a sound understanding of operational risk and manufacturing environments.
You will be equally comfortable engaging with operators on the shopfloor, supporting line managers and challenging senior leaders across the factory.
You are likely to bring:
- Proven leadership experience in a manufacturing, processing or operational environment.
- The ability to build alignment and commitment across multiple stakeholders.
- Experience leading change, shifting culture and embedding new ways of working.
- The ability to balance strategic thinking with practical delivery.
- A track record of coaching and developing individuals and teams.
- A sound understanding of Safety, Health and Environmental management systems and legal compliance.
- NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent) is preferred but not essential for candidates who can demonstrate exceptional leadership, influence and change management capability within a manufacturing environment.
Most importantly, you will be someone who can bring people together, create momentum for change and help the factory achieve its ambitions through engaged, capable and accountable leadership.

Right to work in the UK
In accordance with Home Office guidance successful candidates will be required to evidence their right to work in the UK before commencement of employment. We have assessed this role and do not consider that we would be able to sponsor a successful candidate under the Skilled Worker route as the role does not meet the relevant Home Office criteria; the successful candidate therefore must be able to demonstrate their own right to work during the recruitment process without Nestlé sponsorship.
