About You
You'll likely come from a manufacturing, engineering or production environment where you've developed strong technical skills and naturally progressed into leading others.
You enjoy being close to the work, helping people succeed, solving practical problems and taking ownership rather than simply supervising from a distance.
You'll be comfortable balancing delivery, quality and people leadership in a fast-moving manufacturing environment.

We're looking for someone with:
- Experience within a manufacturing, production or assembly environment.
- Strong hands-on technical or mechanical assembly capability.

- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- The ability to make sound decisions under pressure and prioritise effectively.
