Job Description:
Full job descriptionRegional Operations Manager – South
This is more than a leadership role — it’s an opportunity to shape the future of a growing manufacturing operation in the South.
Our client is a well-established, privately owned manufacturing group with a long-term outlook and a strong track record of reinvesting in its people, sites and technology. Backed by a robust financial position, the business is now driving a significant transformation across part of its operations — focused on raising standards, strengthening culture, and unlocking growth potential
The opportunity
The Opportunity
*You will take full operational ownership of several southern sites, leading their integration, development and performance. With a clear mandate to modernise and professionalise operations, you’ll play a central role in setting the benchmark for what "good" looks like — both operationally and culturally.
What You’ll Do
*Lead end-to-end site operations, covering production, people, cost and delivery
*Drive cultural change, creating a consistent, accountable and values-led environment
*Improve health & safety standards within high-risk manufacturing settings
*Support investment and automation programmes to increase capability and output
*Build scalable operational frameworks as the regional footprint expands
Why This Role Stands Out
You’ll join at a pivotal point in the organisation’s journey — working closely with a new leadership team to build a high-performing, future-ready operation. The culture is evolving towards visible, hands-on leadership where credibility on the ground matters as much as strategic thinking.
About You
*You’re an experienced manufacturing leader with a track record of improving site performance and leading change.
*Comfortable in fast-paced, people-intensive environments, you bring a pragmatic, hands-on approach and know how to engage teams at every level.
Whether you are an experienced multi-site Plant Manager or an ambitious Plant Manager with a track record of success in optimising factory performance looking to take your first step into a multi-site role, this is a newly created role to enable you to play a positive and proactive role in the ongoing development of a UK wide group growth programme.
