As a visible, hands-on leader, you will set clear expectations, motivate the team and lead by example, ensuring safety, health, environmental and quality (SHEQ) standards are at the heart of everything we do.

You will take ownership of shift performance, communicating targets and progress, working closely with support functions such as Maintenance and Quality, and proactively addressing any issues that could impact production.
