Production Manager
Location: Lincolnshire
Salary: c.£50,000
Working Hours: Monday to Friday, 6:30am - 4:00pm
If you enjoy developing people as much as improving performance, this one should interest you.
You’ll lead a food manufacturing operation of approximately 100 people, with four Team Leaders reporting directly to you across production, prep, packing and service.
And those Team Leaders are a big part of the opportunity.
- They’re young, bright and ambitious.
- They’ve stepped up, they’re doing a good job and they want to learn.
- What they need now is an experienced Production Manager who will coach them, challenge them and give them the confidence to make their own decisions.
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.
The operation itself is established and runs well. You won’t be walking into chaos or being asked to rebuild everything from scratch.
There is, however, plenty for you to influence.
- Yield is the biggest opportunity, alongside improving consistency, strengthening standards and creating a more organised and accountable production team.
- You’ll have the freedom to look at how the department operates, identify where performance is being lost and work with the team to make practical improvements.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Leading and developing four Team Leaders
- Improving yield, waste and production performance
- Strengthening quality and operational standards
- Bringing greater structure, prioritisation and accountability
- Managing labour, workflow and costs
- Delivering against safety, quality and customer targets

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll need experience leading a sizeable team within a fast-paced food manufacturing environment. Chilled, short shelf life product exposure would be particularly useful, especially if you can demonstrate improvements in yield, but it isn’t essential.
This is a role for someone who wants to be visible, build a strong team and leave the operation better than they found it.
