Production Shift Manager – £45,000 - £50,000 – Bedford
Are you ready to lead a well-oiled team on one of the most automated manufacturing sites in the country?
Right now, I’m looking to speak to a hands-on Production Shift Manager who thrives in fast-paced environment where decision-making, team leadership, and operational know-how are critical.
Here’s the deal:
* 4 on, 4 off: A mix of day and night 12-hour shifts, giving you a full four days off after every run.
* £45,000 - £50,000 salary: Competitive pay with added benefits (private medical, pension, electric vehicle scheme).
* Autonomy: You’ll be the top decision-maker on your shift, responsible for a team of 11 (2 direct reports) and driving high-volume production with minimal input from upper management.
* Growth Potential: This company doesn’t just offer stability—they invest in their people and their site.
What we’re looking for:
* Automation Expertise: You’re comfortable with modern, automated manufacturing equipment and know how to keep it all moving, even when the pressure’s on.
* Leadership Skills: You’re capable of making tough calls, leading your team through challenges, and keeping morale high through those long shifts.
* Local to Bedford: Ideally, you live within a 30/45-minute commute—these shifts are long, and this company values longevity, so location matters.
If you’re ready to step into a role where your experience, autonomy, and decision-making skills will be valued and rewarded, I’d love to hear from you.
