We are excited to be recruiting our next

Shift Manager

based out of our Ellesmere Port site!

Your leadership and management expertise from the FMCG industry will be utilised, providing daily opportunities to ensure safety first, excellent output, high quality, and efficiency are demonstrated on your shift, motivating and developing your team to achieve and exceed results.

Your shift pattern will be 4-on-4-off, working days (6am to 6pm) and night shifts (6pm to 6am).

How you will add value to Northwood Consuma:

You will lead from the front, motivating and mentoring a production team in achieving targets, maximising line efficiency and minimising cost. You will promote and foster safety and quality, managing daily SOR meetings to enable open communication and build a collaborative team environment.

We'll rely on you to manage daily staffing levels, ensuring crewing sheets are completed accurately, and communicating available resources to all departments.

To ensure your team are performing well, you will communicate daily and hourly line performance targets in a clear and professional manner, taking responsibility for outcomes.

To develop your team, you will utilise the performance management framework, ensuring all of your team are fully trained to perform their assigned tasks, and that all sign-off documentation is complete and verified.

It's essential that we are compliant, therefore a key part of your role will be ensuring legal and company regulations and compliance standards are adhered to. This includes H&S and Environmental standards, and liaising with the Quality team to ensure communication and adherence to QC procedures.

Departments you will often collaborate with include Engineering, Quality, Health and Safety, Stores, and HR, to ensure we're operating as efficiently as we can.

We are keen to speak with you if you have strong experience within an FMCG production/manufacturing environment in a team leadership capacity (e.g. Shift Manager, Team Leader, Production Manager, Line Manager, or similar).
