Description:
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Operations Manager to join a well-established engineering company based in Maidstone, Kent, as part of a large, privately owned group of businesses.
This newly created position has come about as a direct result of an ambitious growth plan, supporting the ongoing expansion of the business and enabling the site to scale efficiently as demand increases. It's a genuinely exciting time to join the group, with real opportunity to make your mark and grow with the business.
What's On Offer
* Salary of £60,000 – £65,000, dependent on experience
* Great benefits package
* The chance to join a large, privately owned group during a significant period of growth
* A newly created role with real influence over how it develops
* Genuine long-term career progression within the wider group
About the Role
As Operations Manager, you will take ownership of day-to-day operations across a multi-process engineering site, driving performance, efficiency, and continuous improvement across all areas of production.
This role would suit a proven engineering operations leader — someone ambitious, hands-on, and ready to progress their career within a fast-paced, fast-moving business that offers genuine scope for development.
What We're Looking For
We're keen to hear from candidates with a background in traditional engineering operations, ideally gained across one or more of the following disciplines:
* Milling
* Machining
* Turning
* Forging
* Sheet metal pressing
* Precision engineering
* Foundry
As this is a multi-operation site, experience across any of the above (or similar manufacturing/engineering processes) would be highly valuable. We're looking for someone who understands the realities of a busy engineering environment and can lead operations with credibility and confidence.
How to Apply
If you're an ambitious operations leader from an engineering background looking for your next challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
