Galway, Galway, Ireland beBeeLeadership Full time €40,000 - €50,000
Lead and Motivate a Team of Production Operatives

This pivotal role is crucial to managing growth and shaping the future. As a dynamic and hands-on leader, you will manage one of our value streams in a complex make-to-order manufacturing environment.

We operate on lean principles with high levels of product complexity, frequent changeovers, and a continuous drive for efficiency and team engagement. This role involves motivating and directing a team of 10 production operatives.

About the Role

You will be responsible for leading daily team briefings, providing clear direction for the shift, managing daily production scheduling, and ensuring optimal allocation of staff, especially during changeovers.

As a proactive coach, you will work closely with team members during downtime to maintain productivity and minimize waste.

You will also monitor team performance, attendance, and attitude; take corrective action when needed with calm authority.

Collaboration with maintenance and planning teams is key to minimizing downtime and ensuring smooth flow of materials.

This role requires a strong people manager who can build rapport and respect within the team, as well as a confident communicator who can be strict but fair.

The ideal candidate will lead from the front, be structured, adaptable, and organised, but also bring energy and calm to the chaos.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead and motivate a team of production operatives in a respectful and consistent manner.
  • Run daily team briefings and provide clear direction for the shift.
  • Manage daily production scheduling and ensure optimal allocation of staff, especially during changeovers.
  • Proactively coach team members during downtime to keep value flowing.
  • Monitor team performance, attendance, and attitude; take corrective action when needed with calm authority.
  • Collaborate with maintenance and planning teams to minimize downtime and ensure smooth flow of materials.
  • Drive lean manufacturing behaviours and encourage continuous improvement thinking.
  • Help implement non-bonus incentives to boost team engagement and morale.
  • Report issues, suggest improvements, and track key production metrics.
