Salary: GBP30000 – GBP35000 per annum + Bonus and Promotion Prospects

Why Should You Apply?

A Clear Progression Path: This isn’t just another job; it is a long‑term succession plan. There is a genuine opportunity for you to step up to Production Manager and eventually even join the board of directors.

Impact: You will provide input on the daily operations of the injection moulding department, your ideas will be listened to, and you will have the opportunity to make improvements.

Close-Knit Culture: Join a well‑established manufacturer that takes pride in a non‑corporate, “close‑knit” environment where you are more than just a number.

Diverse Technical Challenges: Work with a wide range of machinery, from 40T to 2700T, serving important industries like construction and drainage.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Lead and Mentor: You will lead a team of operators, assuring smooth handovers and providing daily leadership.
  • Hands‑On: In addition to leading the operators, you will work alongside the setter to operate and run machines. As a small business, all team members are required to be hands‑on.
  • Process Optimisation: Monitor moulding processes to meet scrap and cycle‑time targets, and conduct material and tool trials.
  • Technical Oversight: Perform safe and efficient tool changes and handle troubleshooting or basic machine maintenance when the team needs your expertise.
  • Quality & Safety: Maintain high housekeeping standards and make sure all activities comply with ISO standards and health and safety requirements.

Your Remuneration Package:

  • Salary: Up to £40,000 (dependent on experience).
  • Yearly Bonus: A performance‑related bonus based on annual turnover, often equivalent to roughly one month’s wages.
  • Holiday Allowance: 23 days plus bank holidays, increasing to 25 days after five years of service.
  • Benefits: 4% pension, complimentary refreshments, and a uniform are provided.
  • Future Growth: The ultimate benefit is the defined path toward company directorship.

What You’ll Need To Apply:

  • Technical Expertise: A strong background in plastic injection moulding, including deep knowledge of machines, tooling, processing and robot programming.
  • Solution-Oriented Mindset: You should be self‑motivated, able to work independently, and comfortable making supervisory decisions.
