• Business going through strong growth and increased demand
• A supportive, team-focused culture with visible leadership

• Fast-paced, hands-on environment no two shifts the same
• Clear responsibility and autonomy

About You

• Experience in a Production Supervisor / Shift Manager role
• Strong understanding of manufacturing or food production environments
• Confident managing teams and driving performance
• A hands-on, proactive approach
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
• Must have Food & Drink Manufacturing experience
