We are looking for a strong people and operations manager to take responsibility for our Assembly & Delivery operations, a critical part of our window manufacturing business. Leading approximately 200 employees through a team of six first-line managers and two process developers, you will play a key role in driving performance, strengthening the organisation and ensuring operational excellence across the organisation.
This role offers the opportunity to take responsibility for a large production area and make a significant impact on people, culture and operational performance.

We believe you have:
Proven experience from a manufacturing or industrial environment.
Experience building strong teams and creating results through others
A track record of driving operational improvements and delivering results
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
A university degree in engineering, production, operations, or a related field, or equivalent experience gained through a successful leadership career in manufacturing.
