* Take pride in maintaining a manufacturing environment that's always ready to be viewed by our customers, ensuring exceptional standards of cleanliness, organisation and presentation.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an inspiring people leader who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and enjoys getting the very best from their team.

You'll ideally have:

* Previous experience managing teams within a food manufacturing, bakery or FMCG environment.

* Experience managing production operations and delivering against KPIs.

* A good understanding of food safety, quality and health & safety standards.
