Sheffield

Days/Shifts Available | £30,000 - £32,000 + overtime available

We’re working with a large industrial manufacturer in Sheffield that’s on the hunt for a hands-on Production Team Leader to head up a busy welding and fabrication cell. If you're someone who thrives on leading from the front, improving processes, and developing people – this could be your next move.

What you’ll be doing:

✅ Leading and mentoring your team to drive a strong safety-first culture (think daily toolbox talks & SWAP coaching).

✅ Tracking daily performance and taking action when targets aren’t being hit.

✅ Embedding continuous improvement tools (SIC, DCI) into the day-to-day to boost efficiency.

✅ Training, developing, and supporting your team – while handling performance issues when needed.

✅ Working closely with your opposite shift Team Leader to keep things running smoothly around the clock.

✅ Planning workloads, managing KanBan levels, and making sure the right materials are on hand when needed.

✅ Being the key voice for your value stream in daily Level 4 SQDCP meetings.

What we’re looking for:

3+ years of leadership experience in a manufacturing or engineering environment

Confident using MS Office & Excel (ERP experience is a bonus!)

Strong eye for safety, risk, and problem-solving

IOSH/NEBOSH, ILM, or other relevant qualifications are a nice-to-have

Comfortable using CI tools and lean techniques (or keen to learn)
