Galway, Ireland CREGG Full time

Overview

Job Purpose: Would you like to be a key player in a forward-thinking, lean-driven operation? This role will give the right candidate the opportunity to shape a positive, high-performing team culture and enjoy opportunities for growth, responsibility, and career progression.

The company is a progressive made-to-order manufacturing business based in Galway, producing made-to-order work surfaces for domestic and export markets. As they gear up for the next phase of growth, they are looking for a strong communicator and people leader to guide one of their key value streams.

This role is about leading from the front—motivating a team of 10 production operatives in a fast-moving, high-variation manufacturing environment. It’s not about mass production; it’s about structure, flexibility, and a people-first mindset.

Responsibilities

- Lead, motivate, and support a production team to deliver daily targets.

- Communicate clearly through daily briefings and regular team updates.

- Coach team members to stay engaged and productive, even during changeovers or downtime.

- Monitor performance and address issues promptly and fairly.

- Work cross-functionally with planning and maintenance to ensure smooth operations.

- Foster a culture of continuous improvement and positive team engagement.

- Lead by example—hands-on when needed, always approachable.

Experience

- Proven leadership experience in a manufacturing or high-mix production setting.

- Strong communication skills—you’re clear, calm, and confident.

- Ability to get the best out of people and handle tough conversations with fairness.

- A structured, proactive approach to scheduling, process flow, and performance management.

- Comfortable using standard PC tools (Word, Excel); mechanically minded a plus.

- Reliable, honest, and ready to grow with a company on the move.
