Imagine being the trusted on-site leader as Operations Manager for a company in the metals industry that’s truly committed to transformation. You won’t just be maintaining the status quo here; this is your chance to be at the heart of a lean and tech-driven journey. The new Operations Director, based in Ireland, is looking for someone to be their eyes and ears on the ground in Shropshire…someone who’s not afraid to get stuck in and make a real impact. The culture needs some work, their approach is more 1990 than 2024, but there is a lot being done to change this, and it’s being embraced and acted on. There is a retirement on the horizon, and here is your chance to step into his shoes. The role is hands-on, challenging, and it’s exactly what you’ve been looking for if you thrive in an environment where your ideas and efforts are genuinely valued.
* You'll be stepping into a business that’s embracing lean principles and Industry 4.0.
* As the key person on site, you’ll take control of production planning, making sure every step is efficient, and every detail is right. You’ll be responsible for leading lean initiatives and embedding continuous improvement – not just as a buzzword but as a real way of working.
With a flexible schedule (40 hours spread between 7 am and 6 pm), you’ll have the space to make this role your own. What’s in it for you as Operations Manager? This isn’t just another operations management job. Here, you’ll have the autonomy to implement change, push forward with tech integration, and build a culture that’s ready for the future. You’ll be managing a team of 4 direct reports and 10 indirectly, but this isn’t about hiding behind a management title, it’s about leading from the front, guiding your team, and making sure production runs seamlessly. With a competitive salary of 50-60k that reflects your expertise, this is your opportunity to make a significant mark in a business that’s ready to listen and act on your ideas.
