Interim Manufacturing jobs

The interim food manufacturing job sector has become more exacting and even faster in the last few years - the squeeze for efficiency and margin has become more pressing and the need for outstanding manufacturing performance ever greater. With this backdrop it is no wonder interim production and manufacturing professionals are very much in demand. From short term support to strategic leadership our manufacturing interims have covered a wide array of situations and product sectors. At the end of the day any manufacturing business will be defined by its ability to manufacture and deliver products required on time in full at the right quality and price - a simple premise but often missed.

Interim Manufacturing jobs cover roles from Operations Director, through Production and Operations management through to shift management on days and nights. By the variety of roles highlighted rates are also very flexible depending on level and length of contract.

We had an Interim Site Manager job to fill whilst the current incumbent was moved to a different business unit on a project. The assignment needed a strategic individual who could also be involved in daily transactional issues sitting close to the factory teams. Having recently secured increased business with an existing customer the interim Manufacturing Manager successfully met the increased orders, increased customer service levels and took significant costs out within the first two months.

A chilled food business, manufacturing own label and branded product for most of the UK retailers was experiencing customer service issues and had a huge wastage issue that they were struggling to resolve. Our interim operations specialist assessed the situation, restructured the teams across the shifts, worked closely with engineering driving change in existing practices and made process changes which had a massive impact on waste. In the long term formal performance management took place resulting in the recruitment of new staff who were then coached and mentored leaving the business with a positive legacy.

An Interim Production Manager joined the manufacturing team of a canning operation and found a disorganised, demotivated team with low moral. This particular individual is energetic and passionate and has outstanding management skills. Structured procedures were implemented and KPI's were introduced which made major improvements immediately. That particular interim has been recalled for other sites in the business on the strength of the turnaround achieved on this assignment.
