    Description
    Production Manager

    Precision Manufacturing | Stowmarket
    £45,000 – £55,000


    If you're running production well but feel boxed in by process, politics, or lack of ownership, this role gives you more room to operate.

    It's a proper Production Manager position in a precision engineering environment - with exposure to planning, logistics and NPI.

    Why this role exists

    The business has grown its product range and NPI activity.

    What they need now is stronger day-to-day control across production and planning, and someone who can bring structure without overcomplicating things.

    This role sits between senior leadership and the shop floor.
    You'll be trusted to run the operation properly, not just keep it ticking over.

    What you'll actually be doing


    You'll take responsibility for:

    Day-to-day production delivery against plan



    Line management of Production, Planning and Logistics staff



    Coordinating materials, schedules and resource to meet demand



    Supporting NPI projects so they land cleanly into manufacture



    Improving flow, visibility and efficiency using practical Lean tools



    Managing WIP, stock levels and production priorities


    You'll work closely with engineering and leadership, but this is still a hands-on production role, not a desk-only management job.

    What's different here



    Exposure to NPI, not just repeat manufacture



    Genuine encouragement to improve how things work, not just hit numbers



    A leadership team that wants clarity and structure, not noise



    Enough scope to stretch you, without setting you up to fail

    This is a role where you can grow your operational leadership skills before making a bigger step later.

    Salary & reality check

    The salary range is £45,000-£55,000, depending on experience.


    That reflects:

    A Production Manager role with breadth



    Not a full Operations Manager or Director position



    Strong opportunity for development rather than instant senior authority

    If you're looking for £65k+ or full strategic ownership, this won't be the right move.

    If you want more scope than a narrow production role, it might be.

    Who this will suit

    This role will suit someone who:

    Is already a Production Manager, or a Senior Production / Manufacturing Engineer stepping up



    Has worked in precision, mechanical or low-volume manufacturing



    Understands planning, materials and delivery pressure



    Has practical Lean / Continuous Improvement experience



    Leads calmly and earns trust on the shop floor

    Qualifications matter less than how you actually run production.

    Next step


    If you want a clearer, broader Production Manager role, without title inflation or false promises - this is worth a conversation.

    Initial discussion is informal and confidential.
