Evening Shift Manager Location: Walsall Hours: 3pm - 12am Salary: £45k - £55k (negotiable for the right candidate) Start Date: ASAP, ideally before mid-March Let’s talk about you. You’re not here to punch the clock—you’re here to make things happen. You’ve got a background in the food industry, a knack for Just-In-Time (JIT) operations, and an independent streak that helps you stay sharp and dynamic in a fast-paced environment. You thrive on change, love a challenge, and bring a no-nonsense approach that earns you respect and gets results. The business has exciting plans, so this role may evolve into an Operations/Factory Manager position. Here’s what we’ll need from you: • A proven track record in food production. • Experience with JIT systems (you know what it takes to keep things moving). • A head for change management (you’ll need to shake things up). • The ability to think on your feet, problem-solve, and work independently. • Discipline, leadership, and the kind of grit that inspires your team to hit their stride. The role? You’ll lead the evening shift, running the show with two supervisors/team leaders and a crew of around 25 people (to start). This is your chance to grow the team and make a real impact. You’ll manage the production process end-to-end, ensuring we hit targets, stay compliant, and operate safely—without cutting corners. Key Responsibilities: • Meet production targets while maintaining quality and food safety standards. • Manage your team with an eye for engagement, motivation, and development. • Own the production plan, materials management, and operational decision-making. • Drive a culture of hygiene, safety, and continuous improvement. • Bring a solutions-focused mindset to every challenge you face. Why join us? We’re all about growth—yours, ours, and the team’s. This isn’t just a job; it’s a chance to be part of something dynamic. With a competitive salary, room for negotiation, and a real opportunity to make your mark, this role is perfect for someone who’s ready to step up.
