Senior Production Manager

This Senior Production Manager role in Bournemouth comes with a genuine mandate to change things, not just keep them ticking over. You''ll own production performance outright, from downtime and overruns to on-time delivery, with the authority to fix what''s holding it back.

• Death in service cover
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• Free on-site parking
• Free eye test with contribution towards glasses
• 39 hour week with a half-day Friday

As a Senior Production Manager, your responsibilities will include:

• Own production performance against monthly output and on-time delivery (OTD) targets, leading recovery plans where needed
• Drive measurable reductions in downtime, overruns and lead times, using production data to eliminate recurring causes at source
• Lead change initiatives from concept to full implementation, bringing Team Leaders and the wider workforce with you
• Direct production planning and prioritisation, adjusting as priorities shift and keeping the shop floor clearly informed
• Lead MRB and NCR resolution through root cause analysis, working cross-functionally with Quality, Planning, Engineering and Quoting
• Develop Team Leaders, set clear expectations, tackle underperformance and manage workforce planning, pay and skills

As a Senior Production Manager, your experience will include:

• Significant production management experience within a manufacturing environment
