Location: Desford, Leicestershire
The Opportunity
As a Production Manager in logistics, you will lead daily operations to maximise efficiency, quality, and safety while driving continuous improvement through Lean practices, Root Cause and Corrective Action (RCCA), and Process Issue Description (PID) tools. You’ll prioritise workflow, monitor KPIs, maintain accurate documentation, and support a high‑performing team through strong coordination, coaching, and driving compliance.
What you will do
As a Production Manager, you are accountable for, but not limited to:
- Promote a safe, high‑performing workplace by identifying risks, ensuring compliance, and driving continuous improvement through Lean practices, RCCA, and PID tools.
- Plan and prioritise daily operations, adjusting staffing, monitoring KPIs, and improving performance across the section.
Maintain accurate documentation and reporting for processes, tooling, performance, and inventory, ensuring full safety and quality compliance.
- Lead and support a team of logistics operatives, coordinating daily tasks, providing coaching and training, and fostering a collaborative, improvement‑focused culture.
NB. The panel cannot make assumptions when shortlisting therefore please demonstrate your qualifications and experience on your CV relevant to the criteria outlined.
What You Can Demonstrate:
Working Knowledge
- Problem Solving: You use tools like RCCA and PID to quickly pinpoint issues in logistics flow and drive effective fixes. At this level, you confidently assess risks, compare options, and prevent repeat problems.
- Planning and Organising: You stay ahead of operational demands by prioritising workloads, anticipating bottlenecks, and allocating resources smartly. Working Knowledge means you break tasks into clear steps and adapt plans fast when conditions shift.
- Analytical Thinking: You interpret logistics data, KPIs, and process trends to spot patterns and recommend improvements. At this level, you evaluate what matters, compare alternatives, and make decisions grounded in clear, logical analysis.
- Effective Communication: You communicate clearly with logistics teams to ensure tasks, priorities, and safety expectations are well understood. Basic Understanding means you share information accurately and use the right tone and approach to keep operations running smoothly.
What You May Have:
- Working Knowledge of SAP is highly desirable as you'll rely on it to manage inventory accuracy, track material flow, and support fast, data‑driven decisions.
- Basic working knowledge in logistics planning because it enables you to anticipate demand, allocate resources effectively, and maintain smooth, efficient daily operations.
