Reporting into the General Manager, as Shift Manager you will be working for one of the leading producers of Baked Products in the UK, supplying into both the retail and foodservice channels, producing branded and own label goods. Since the company’s incorporation in the early 2000’s, the business has now grown, turning over in excess of £50million within the UK.  Due to continued growth and a recent site expansion, there is now a requirement for a Shift Manager to join their team in Livingston.

As Shift Manager, you will be firstly accountable taking the lead for a team of Team Leaders to deliver the necessary workload in a conforming, effective and cost-conscious manner.

The main accountabilities will include;

  • Managing a team setting up, maintaining and improving manufacturing performance levels across shifts, dealing with any staff issues and building strong employee engagement and positive employee relations.

  • Monitoring and controlling production processes and productivity rates ensuring all data and KPI’s are recorded accurately and in a timely manner.
  • Working with colleagues to ensure all production and technical standards and legal requirements are observed.
  • Identifying and reducing operational waste ensuring waste targets are achieved and variances investigated and shortfalls addressed.
  • Directing activities in accordance with Health and Safety and Food Safety requirements ensuring that products are processed under safe, sanitary conditions and in line with Safety Management Systems.
  • Maintaining contact as required with site and other management outside your normal working shift pattern.

To be considered for this role, you will have at least 2 years’ experience ideally working as a Shift Manager within the food industry. A proven background of managing people, planning and process is essential. You should have a strong awareness of health and safety, finances, quality and food safety with an ability to effectively prioritise day to day tasks.
