Production Supervisor

Job description

Production Supervisor – Food Manufacturing

Norfolk

£38,000–£40,000

You’ll know already if this job is for you.

Because if the words “continuous improvement” make your eyelid twitch, and the phrase “Go for Zero” sounds like a motivational poster pinned to a canteen wall rather than a lived reality, you can save yourself 90 seconds and scroll on.

Still here? Good.

This place isn’t chaotic. But it is busy. It’s food manufacturing, not a garden centre. Things break, people get sick, volume spikes, audits happen, and Tesco doesn’t care that the deposit pump failed at 2am.

They need someone who won’t panic when it does.

Someone who knows the difference between fixing an issue and preventing it. Someone who can talk about root cause analysis without making everyone else in the room want to leave.

You’ll run the production stream. Lead the people, own the safety, drive the standards. Not from an office, but from the floor - hair net, radio, steel-toes, sleeves rolled up.

You’ll coach, you’ll intervene, you’ll stop unsafe behaviour even if it makes you unpopular for 10 minutes. And you’ll do it because “near miss” shouldn’t be a weekly bingo square.

If you’re the sort who needs constant praise, this won’t work. If you’re the sort who gets satisfaction from a clean audit, a stable yield, and a team who actually listen when you talk about safety — then you’ll probably enjoy it here.

There’s space to improve things too. Not gimmick improvement. Proper, measurable, “we don’t have to firefight that anymore” improvement.

Salary’s £38–£40k. Site’s in Norfolk. Food manufacturing experience is strongly preferred. Leadership isn’t optional.

If you can lead without shouting, fix without sticking tape over it, and keep people safe without turning into the Safety Police…
