This is an excellent opportunity for a proven production leader with strong practical knowledge of aluminium window and door fabrication. You will take ownership of the factory floor, establish high standards from day one, develop a skilled team of fabricators, and ensure products are manufactured safely, accurately and on time.

You will lead by example, working closely with supervisors, team leaders and fabricators to create a productive, engaged and quality-focused team.
Key responsibilities
* Set up and manage the day-to-day production operation for aluminium windows, doors and associated products.
* Lead, train, coach and develop a team of aluminium fabricators, team leaders and supervisors.
* Ensure all team members are trained, competent and signed off against agreed standard operating procedures.
* Plan labour, materials, machinery and workflow to achieve production targets and customer delivery requirements.
* Monitor daily output, work in progress, quality performance, labour efficiency and delivery against plan.
* Establish clear production KPIs and use data to drive actions and improvements.
* Ensure products are manufactured right first time and meet required quality, specification and customer standards.
* Implement and maintain robust quality-control checks throughout the fabrication process.
* Maintain a safe, clean and well-organised factory, ensuring full compliance with health and safety, PPE and machine-check requirements.
* Investigate production, quality and delivery issues, identifying root causes and implementing lasting solutions.
* Develop and embed standard working practices, 5S and continuous-improvement activities.
* Support the introduction of new products, processes, equipment and production lines as the new site grows.
What We’re Looking For
You will be an experienced production manager or senior supervisor from an aluminium window and door fabrication environment. You will understand the realities of running a busy factory and be comfortable balancing output, quality, safety and people development.
You will have:
* Proven experience in aluminium window and door fabrication.
* Practical knowledge of aluminium machining, cutting, assembly, glazing and quality-control processes.
* Experience leading, training and developing a team of fabricators.
* A strong track record of managing production targets, workflow and delivery performance.
* Excellent people-management skills, including coaching, mentoring and performance management.
* A hands-on leadership style with the ability to gain respect on the factory floor.
* Strong problem-solving skills and a practical approach to resolving issues quickly.
