Team Leader – Primary Pack
About the Role
We are looking for a proactive and hands-on Team Leader to support the day-to-day running of our production operations in our Primary Pack Department. This is a fast-paced role that combines leadership with practical involvement on the production floor, ensuring operational targets, quality standards, and safety requirements are consistently achieved.
You will lead and support a team of Production Technicians within a controlled manufacturing environment, helping to drive productivity, continuous improvement, and team development. The role requires a strong technical understanding of the production area, along with the ability to motivate others and lead by example.
Within this area, you’ll oversee key stages of the manufacturing and inspection process, including product inspection, labelling, sterilisation, and injector assembly. Attention to detail and adherence to GMP and cleanroom standards are essential to ensure products meet the highest quality standards before progressing through production.
You’ll work closely with the Production Managers to support team performance, training, staffing requirements, and process improvements, while acting as a key point of support for technicians across the department.
