An operations or production job to advance your career
Seeking operations/production job vacancies in food manufacturing? You’re in luck – there are roles available. However, as you might already know, companies can be very specific with the type of background they expect.
Having worked in drink, instead of food, can make all the difference. Or sometimes they prefer someone to have experience of working on the shop floor and really know the industry, rather than have operations experience in another sector. Plus, they can often be extremely explicit around skillset.
People management and communication are two core capabilities in production jobs. This is because you’ll work with others on a daily basis. You’ll need to liaise with various teams (especially engineering and technical), manage KPIs and changeovers, drive the day-to-day hour-by-hour performance, and develop team members.
But, you yourself will have your own requirements, like a clear progression path. Perhaps you’re looking for increased responsibility or to manage bigger teams.
Finding that perfect role certainly isn’t easy. That’s why it’s a great idea to turn to Silven. For so many candidates we have matched them with an operations job they love. Here’s how…
