Production Team Leader

Are you a hands-on leader with experience in high-care food manufacturing? We are representing a leading name in the fresh produce sector that is currently experiencing impressive growth.

This isn't a "sit in the office" type of role. Our client is looking for a Production Team Leader who is ambitious, career-driven, and willing to roll up their sleeves alongside their team. As a key part of a well-established wider group, this Lincolnshire site offers a stable environment with a clear track record of internal promotions.

The Role

You will take full ownership of a designated production line, managing a small team of operatives to ensure high-volume orders are met safely and efficiently.

• Lead from the Front: Manage the performance, engagement, and training of your direct reports.
• Operational Excellence: Monitor KPIs, reduce product waste, and ensure "right first-time" processing.
• Technical Ownership: Set up and run fast-paced machinery while ensuring all food safety and hygiene standards are met.
• Compliance: Maintain accurate documentation for traceability and health and safety audits.
  

What's in it for you?

• Work-Life Balance: A 2-2-3 shift pattern with no night shifts.
• Competitive salary with monthly pay and additional overtime available.
• Career Security: Join a business that is actively reinvesting in its people and site.
• Development: A culture that prioritizes internal moves and professional growth.

About You

You are a motivator who understands the pace of fresh produce. You don't just see a production line; you see opportunities to improve efficiency and develop your people.

• Experience: Proven background in a supervisory role within food manufacturing (Fresh Produce experience is a major plus).
• Technical Skills: Comfortable operating and setting production machinery.
• Communication: Able to relay instructions clearly and manage stakeholders across Quality, Technical, and Growing teams.
• Mindset: Ambitious and looking to embed yourself within a business for the long term.
