Project Production Manager
Are you a Manufacturing Leader who loves the ‘Project’ side of Production? We are currently partnering with a leading technical manufacturer to find a Project Production Manager who thrives at the intersection of engineering precision and operational delivery.
This isn’t your typical “keep the line moving” role. This is a high‑visibility position where you will take total ownership of medium‑to‑large‑scale projects, coordinating everything from the initial Bill of Materials to the final Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) with the customer.
Challenge
Our client needs a “bridge‑builder” – someone who can walk into a room of Engineers, Sales Ops, and Warehouse teams and get everyone pulling in the same direction. Reporting directly to the Operations Manager, you’ll be the point person ensuring that complex, high‑value orders don’t just get built, but get built perfectly and shipped on time.
Benefits
- End‑to‑End Ownership: You aren’t just a cog in the machine; you manage the entire project lifecycle within the production environment.
- Leadership: You’ll lead and mentor a team of Team Leaders and Operators, shaping the culture of your shifts.
- Complexity: If you enjoy highly regulated industries and technical documentation (ISO 9001), you’ll find the work here deeply engaging.
Qualifications
- Experience: Production management or project‑led manufacturing role.
- Compliance Savvy: You live and breathe ISO 9001 standards.
- Technical Mindset: You can spot an error in a BOM from a mile away and enjoy the “nitty‑gritty” of technical specs.
- ERP Proficiency: Advantage if you’ve used Microsoft Dynamics.
Ideal Profile
You likely have a degree‑level education and a proven track record of managing resource allocation in a fast‑paced environment. Most importantly, you are proactive. You don’t wait for delays to happen; you see them coming and pivot the team before the deadline is at risk.
