  • Proven track record of delivering results in complex, multi-site environments.
  • Strong understanding of H&S compliance, quality management, and supply chain best practices.
  • Strategic mindset with hands-on capability - not afraid to roll up your sleeves.
  • Exceptional leadership, coaching, and stakeholder management skills.

Desirable Qualifications:

  • NEBOSH or equivalent Health & Safety qualification.
  • Lean Six Sigma or equivalent improvement certification.
  • Degree in Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain, or a relevant field.

What's on Offer

  • A highly competitive salary of £115,000 - £130,000
