General Manager – Service & Manufacturing
Hinckley, Leicestershire
£90,000 – £95,000 + Bonus + Benefits
Are you an Operations Manager, Head of Operations or Operations Director ready to run a whole business?
We’re recruiting a General Manager to lead an established, profitable engineering operation in Leicestershire.
This is a smaller, hands-on business with around 25 people, but it forms part of a successful, well-funded international engineering group with ambitious growth plans. The current site leader is moving into a wider international role, so you’ll benefit from a structured handover rather than walking into a turnaround situation.
You’ll take responsibility for the full operation, including:
- Manufacturing, service and engineering delivery
- People leadership and performance
- P&L and budget control
- ERP, capacity, WIP and operational data
- Quality, Health & Safety and compliance
- Developing the site to handle larger, higher-value engineering projects
You’ll need:
- Strong engineering/manufacturing credibility from one off / small batch engineering
- Practical experience with a fabrication / metal working / machine build environment
- Experience leading experienced shop-floor teams
- Budget or P&L responsibility
- Good understanding of ERP and operational data
- Evidence of improving productivity, profitability, delivery or quality
- The confidence to work equally well on the shop floor and with senior group leadership
