Operations Manager

Are you looking for an opportunity to be an instrumental part of a growing and successful SME? Take full control of operations and run things your way, from day one.


You’ll have the freedom to shape processes, make decisions and manage the day-to-day manufacturing operation with your ideas. It’s a hands-on position where your expertise will be trusted, and your improvements will make a visible difference. 

Enjoy a variety of tasks that keep things interesting – from order management and quoting to stock control, purchasing, and facilities management. You’ll also oversee health and safety, ensuring everything runs smoothly and safely.

With a small, well-run team of 10, you’ll work closely with people who care about quality and want the business to succeed. As the company grows, so will your opportunities, including growing the team, and progressing towards a more senior position.

 

What you’ll do:
Manage daily factory operations, including opening and closing procedures and the safe use of plant and machinery. You'll plan and monitor production schedules to meet customer delivery deadlines and keep everything on track.

Review incoming orders, confirm delivery times, and coordinate packing and dispatch. When needed, jump in to support operations hands-on to maintain throughput and continuity. Keep communication flowing by reviewing and responding to operational emails and internal queries, ensuring everything runs efficiently.

 

What you’ll need:

  • Previous experience in an Operations Manager position in engineering or manufacturing
  • Strong organisational skills and a hands-on approach to managing operations
  • Excellent communication abilities, with empathy and the capacity to lead a team effectively

 

About the company:
The business manufactures high-quality testing products. Recently acquired and set for growth, it’s a tight-knit team of 15 people who take pride in delivering excellent products and running a smooth operation.
