Production Manager - manufacturing for construction
East Midlands
£45-55,000

  • How would you feel if you were given the freedom to take risks to benefit the business?
  • Would it encourage you to be more free thinking, and have some fun in the process?
  • Have you always wanted to start at the beginning to bring in your own people and systems?


True to their spirit of innovation, this employer believes that you have to think outside of the box if you are going to deliver successful change. If you are an experienced Production Manager who wants to be part of a fun working atmosphere, free to take risks and pursue new ways of doing your job, this could be the place for you.

Today's construction industry is moving increasingly towards a manufactured solution and candidates who hold skill sets in both areas are an ever more compelling choice for employers. This company will be making buildings using advanced lean manufacturing techniques and has already attracted some of the key players within the offsite construction industry. Joining this team will ensure you are among the best in the business.

We are looking for a Production Manager to join this new venture at the beginning of their journey. You will be responsible for all production on the site, managing approximately 160 staff and working closely with your colleagues in other departments including Technical/R&D and Construction. As the first in post, you will have the opportunity to set up systems and processes, manufacturing methodologies and maintenance programmes. Of course you will also be able to select your own people.

Please get in touch if you are:

  • Experienced Production Manager (ideally from the modular building, timber frame, SIPS or light steel frame industries)
  • Qualified (or at least extensively experienced) in lean manufacturing methodologies (Six Sigma would be ideal)
  • Highly organised and with outstanding communication skills
  • Able to work to demanding targets and deadlines that are liable to change at short notice
  • Committed to the highest standards of quality and health and safety


Is this you? Apply today or call Sue Eustace if you would like to discuss this exciting opportunity in more detail. All calls will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.
