A highly customer centric business that is part of a dynamic, successful and highly people oriented growing international organisation is keen to hear from ambitious, career minded individuals to join the team as Graduate Production Team Leader. This is an excellent platform to join a highly supportive business that can provide a genuine career path into further Production Management and positions (and beyond). The company invests heavily into their employees, takes time to hone the individual's skills through a structured induction plan and can provide opportunity for a long-term career where progression is actively encouraged and highly valued. The role is a full time, permanent position based in Chatham, Kent working Mon to Fri.

As Graduate Production Team Leader, you will learn to develop highly people-oriented leadership skills, where you can influence change, get the best out of your team and instil a continuous improvement mindset. Reporting into the Production Manager, you will assist in ensuring the site runs as efficiently as possible as you will be the liaison between factory floor colleagues and your line manager. In addition, and in conjunction with the Production Manager, you will be involved in planning, support the achievement and communication of departmental KPI's, training and inductions and ensure procedures and policies are followed regarding Health & Safety, machinery and productivity. You will record productivity by task / machine per hour and feedback results as well as report on any machine failings.

Whilst you may not know the products and services, each day the company works with businesses that are impacting the lives of millions of people in the UK. It is an ambitious, financially secure organisation, with a clear strategy to grow the UK service industry with an unrelenting desire to become an employer of choice. They truly see people as their biggest asset.

To give you a feel for their ethics and commitment, the company achieved the PLATINUM level of Ecovadis positioning them among the Top 1% of the 125,000 companies assessed by Ecovadis, meaning a commitment to minimising environmental impact with their approach to use the circular economy model.

To be successful, you will need to be a graduate, degree educated in an Engineering discipline, and whilst some experience of working within a very fast paced environment would be an advantage, an individual who has recently completed their studies will very much be considered as full training will be provided.

It is important that you have an enquiring mind, are detail oriented, hold exacting standards when it comes to quality and health and safety, with a real desire and ambition to progress your career. You will be a naturally energetic individual, resilient and passionate about delivering results. Exceptional communication skills and a good level of IT will be required.

This is a great platform from which to further your management career in a business that is passionate about their people and quality of service and who can truly offer exceptional career progression in a dynamic, multinational organisation.
