Crynodeb
We are looking for a motivated and organised Manufacturing Lead to join our team at Stadium Export Services.
You will be responsible for leading the team to maintain high standards of Health & Safety, Quality, and Productivity at all times. You will oversee the manufacture of all timber products, including plywood-framed boxes, and the preparation of hazardous goods.
A key part of your role will be resolving minor issues promptly and communicating any concerns as they arise. You'll also drive productivity improvements and reduce lead times through method enhancements, use of jigs, and lean manufacturing techniques.
What you'll be doing:
- Manufacture timber/plywood products according to customer specifications and cutting sheet requirements
- Work with the Production and HSE Lead to prioritise customer orders and ensure delivery deadlines are met; flag capacity concerns immediately for alternative planning
- Ensure team members understand and follow job pack instructions clearly
- Monitor hardware and packing material stocks, replenishing as required
- Process job cards and associated paperwork daily, ensuring accurate and comprehensive data entry into IFS
- Maintain high housekeeping standards and keep work areas free from clutter
- Support in developing Risk Assessments and Standard Operating Procedures
- Initiate and support improvement activities focusing on safety, quality, and productivity
- Complete Dangerous Goods Notes for air, road, and sea shipments as required
Who we're looking for
To apply, you will have experience in following work and quality procedures and a strong focus on safety in a busy manufacturing environment. Previous experience in team leadership is an advantage. Ideally, you'll have worked with automated cross-cut machines, pneumatic nail guns, and overhead cranes, though this is not essential.
Excellent communication and problem-solving abilities are vital, alongside effective time management and the ability to work independently and as part of a team. You'll be self-motivated, proactive, and bring a flexible, can-do attitude, with a willingness to work overtime as needed.
A full UK driving licence is required for this role. Having forklift truck and crane licences is desirable but not essential, and training for Dangerous Goods (Air, Sea & Road) will be provided if needed.
