Production Team Leader
Uxbridge | £50,000 – £52,000 | No shifts | Friday lunchtime finish
Love engineering, but get more satisfaction from developing people than being on the tools yourself? This could be a great next move.
We are recruiting for a British aerospace and defence engineering business looking for a people-focused Production Team Leader to lead a team of 20+ highly skilled technicians.
And what they build is pretty impressive. Some of the mechanical mechanisms contain up to 300 individual parts and take six days to complete, with inspection and testing at multiple stages along the way.
But you won't be building them. Your job is to lead the talented people who do.
This is a genuine people management role. You'll manage performance, development, appraisals, training and absence, celebrate the successes and, when needed, be comfortable having the more difficult conversations too.
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.
You'll also have enough engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand what your team is doing. You'll be working with engineering drawings, production data and KPIs, managing priorities, spotting trends and solving problems when things don't quite go to plan.
The actual role includes:
- Allocating work
- Monitoring performance against KPIs
- Monitoring productivity
You could currently be a Production Team Leader, Manufacturing Team Leader, Cell Leader, Assembly Team Leader, or Production Supervisor.
