Job Details



PepsiCo is on the look-out for a high calibre Front Line Manager to join our busy Boxford manufacturing site.

Based in our Suffolk orchard, Boxford is the home of Copella. It's our only juice plant in the UK and uses over 85% of all apples produced in England. We've developed a passion for the best product and 'making the juice worth the squeeze'.

So, what's an FLM I hear you cry? I'll try and explain it. Our small group of FLMs are an integral part of the site with specific responsibilities to plan, co-ordinate and control all activities on shift to ensure we are operating efficiently to meet the production plan, with an emphasis on the right quality product at the right time and you'll manage the teams on the factory floor who will help make all of this happen. It may not sound very sexy but trust me, if you're looking for a great people manager job, with future career opportunities in a great organisation. You've just found what you've been looking for!

We need you to have previous manufacturing experience, ideally in a food, beverage or FMCG environment, along with the passion and enthusiasm to succeed in our business. We need you to want to manage, lead and develop your team and you'll want to smash your targets day after day. This role is shift based; working on a continental shift pattern. In return we offer a generous shift allowance!

You'll need to be great with your people, if you can't empower your team this isn't the role for you. It's not just about empowering them, you'll also need to lead them and drive their performance. If you can achieve this, the rest will follow. If you've got all of this and are switched on and able to learn, I'd like to hear from you.

What you'll need:

  • Educated to degree level or of degree calibre.
  • Experience of working within a food/beverage manufacturing or FMCG environment.
  • Management and leadership experience, with a proven management style focused on coaching and mentoring.
  • Experience of leading a large team.
  • Understanding of continuous improvement.
  • Assertive, independent and self-sufficient, with the ability to cope effectively under pressure and meet tight deadlines.
  •  

This role comes with a range of flexible benefits and a base salary in the region of £35,000 to £40,000 plus shift premium.

PepsiCo produces the world's largest portfolio of billion-dollar food and beverage brands, including 22 product lines that each generates more than $1billion in annual retail sales. Our main businesses - Frito-Lay, Quaker, Pepsi-Cola, Tropicana and Gatorade - also make hundreds of other nourishing, tasty foods and drinks that bring joy to our consumers in more than 200 countries.
