Imagine stepping into a factory where the buzz of production lines never stops, where bottles and cans are rolling off at pace, and where your decisions directly shape what ends up on supermarket shelves. Now imagine doing that in a business that's not standing still - but going through an exciting period of change, with opportunities opening up for people who want to grow with it. That's the reality on offer here. We're exclusively working with a long-established drinks manufacturer who are investing heavily in their future.

This is a role for someone who loves leading from the front. You'll set the pace, keep things moving, and ensure quality always comes first. But it's also about people - building a motivated, multi-skilled team that pulls together, solves problems, and takes pride in what they produce. On any given day you might be: Coaching a new team leader through their first week, Working with engineers to get a line back up and running, Spotting a smarter way of doing things and making it happen, Or helping to shape a new product line as the business grows. Driving performance, continuous improvement, and right-first-time quality Ensuring compliance with safety and hygiene standards It's fast, it's varied, and it matters. To thrive here, you'll need experience in a high-volume FMCG environment (drinks, bottling, or canning would be ideal), strong leadership skills, and the confidence to make decisions under pressure. You'll also bring an eye for continuous improvement, a commitment to safety, and a genuine passion for developing people. What We're Looking For: Strong leadership and people management experience in a food or drinks manufacturing environment A solid understanding of GMP, H&S, and quality standards A proven track record of driving performance and implementing improvements Energy, adaptability, and the desire to grow with a business in transition SHIFT PATTERN: 4 on 4 off (rotating) In return, you'll be part of a business that values its people and knows this period of transition is just the beginning. There are real opportunities to progress, learn new skills, and grow your career as the company continues to invest and evolve. If you're ready to be more than just a manager - to be a key player in a business that's on the move - we'd love to hear from you. For more information, please contact Shaf Islam on (url removed).
