Support the implementation of scalable systems and practices as the company expands its output.

Experience in a scaling or fast-evolving manufacturing environment is a plus.
Why Apply? Competitive salary between £50,000 – £55,000 , depending on experience. Opportunity to play a hands-on role in shaping a growing production operation . Supportive management team open to new ideas and continuous improvement. Long-term development opportunities as the business scales.
