Operations Manager
We are looking for an experienced Operations Manager to take hands-on responsibility for the safe, reliable and consistent operation of a specialist food-production site.
This is not a purely strategic or office-based management position. You will work closely with production, roasting, procurement and inventory teams to identify operational risks, solve recurring problems and introduce practical improvements on the shop floor.
You will own health and safety across the site, maintain the SOP framework and ensure procedures support safe and consistent working practices. You will also oversee planned preventative maintenance, improve equipment reliability, manage an Operations Coordinator and coordinate external contractors.
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.
A significant part of the role involves investigating recurring process and equipment problems, establishing their root causes and implementing lasting solutions. You will also provide operational input when new equipment, products or processes are introduced.
Food safety and compliance form an important part of the position. You will be expected to maintain effective operational controls and keep the site audit-ready against HACCP, GMP and BRCGS requirements.
Applicants must have:
- Practical operations experience gained within manufacturing or production.
- An IOSH or NEBOSH qualification and evidence of applying health and safety standards in an operational environment.
- Experience creating, reviewing and implementing site SOPs.
- A record of delivering measurable continuous improvements.
- Experience addressing process, maintenance or equipment-reliability issues.
- The ability to coordinate contractors and manage a direct report.
- Relevant knowledge of food-safety and manufacturing compliance.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience within food manufacturing or FMCG is strongly preferred. Applications should clearly describe improvements you have personally delivered, the operational problems you solved and your involvement in health and safety, SOPs, maintenance and compliance.
Benefits
- An enhanced workplace pension
- Income protection
- Group life assurance
- A cycle-to-work scheme
- Workplace nursery support
- An employee assistance programme
