Production Section Leader

Production Section LeaderSouth LincolnshireDay ShiftUp to £38,000If you're running a shift or a section in a food factory right now, you already know this job.The early starts. The handover that tells you half the story. The line that ran perfectly yesterday and won't today. Labour that never quite matches the plan. A retailer audit landing the same week as three return-to-work interviews.This job has all of that. No point pretending otherwise.Here's why it might still be worth ten minutes of your time.The businessOne of the biggest names in UK convenience food. Food on shelves in pretty much every major retailer in the country. You'd be based at their site in South Lincolnshire, where the factory is feeding the nation.It's chilled environment, so it's fast. What you make in the morning is in someone's lunch by midday the following day. If you like an environment where you can see the result of a good shift the same day, this is it.The jobYou'll own the shift. That means walking the floor from start-up, taking a proper handover, and making sure labour is where it needs to be, not where the rota says it should be.Through the day it's the usual rhythm: daily reviews, team briefs, RTW interviews, auditing the technical paperwork, and constructively challenging the numbers on quality, throughput and crew size when something doesn't add up. You'll dig into the productivity and losses data to find where the shift can improve, and spot where your people need training or managing before it becomes a problem.Who we are looking forSomeone who's managed a production section or shift in food manufacturing. Someone who knows continuous improvement is a habit, not a poster on the wall.Mostly, they want someone a team will actually follow. If your people would move sites to keep working for you, you're the right kind of person.Why moveThis business is big enough that 'room to grow' isn't an empty line. Multiple sites, multiple functions, and a track record of promoting production managers from within. If you're a strong number two waiting for a boss who's never leaving, or you're running a shift for a business that doesn't invest in its people, this is a better bet.Interested?Send your CV or drop me a message and we'll have a chat.
