Working closely with Manufacturing Leadership and the Technical Team, you will spot operational gaps, write clear step-by-step procedures (SOP’s), and train Manufacturing teammates to follow them. This is a hands-on role for a proactive communicator who enjoys helping people learn and making daily processes better.

This role is ideal for an ambitious, engaged individual ready to drive real change. You will gain hands-on experience across multiple teams, help deliver key projects, and play a vital role in our ongoing success.

• Deliver Corrective Training: Quickly create and run refresher training sessions to fix the root cause of Manufacturing errors and prevent them from happening again.

• Update Procedures: Work with the Technical team to rewrite standard operating procedures (SOPs) whenever an NCR shows that the current rules aren't working.

• Support Risk Assessments: Work closely with the Assistant Manufacturing Manager to ensure any new safety risks or updated factory rules are instantly turned into active training for the team.

• Promote an existing "Near Miss" Culture: Train and encourage all Manufacturing Team mates to actively spot and report "near misses" (potential safety hazards) so risks can be fixed before an accident happens, whilst also reporting any near misses seen within the business.
