Permanent Production Manager
Elevation Recruitment are delighted to be partnering with a great heavy manufacturing business as they look to recruit a Permanent Production Manager, based in Hull.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who wants to be on the shopfloor every day, not stuck behind a desk.
The Production Manager will be responsible for leading the day-to-day operation of the manufacturing facility, ensuring products are manufactured safely, efficiently and to the required standards.
Production Manager Responsibilities:
- Own the shopfloor. Be visible, support your supervisors and remove whatever is blocking production.
- Take charge of health and safety. Safe practices, sharp housekeeping, no shortcuts.
- Deliver the daily production plan by managing labour, machinery and workflow in real time.
- Coach supervisors into confident leaders who can run their own areas without you standing over them.
- Build multi-skilled teams and tackle poor performance early, fairly and consistently.
- Drive continuous improvement. Cut waste, improve machine utilisation, back good ideas from the floor.
- Work tightly with Planning, Maintenance, Quality, Warehouse and Transport to keep production supplied and on track.

- Solid grasp of production flow, machine utilisation and labour management.
- A track record of lifting production performance through hands-on shopfloor leadership.
