7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Shaping Global Strategy

You'll spend time defining the 3-5 year manufacturing technology roadmap, deciding where we invest our capital, and how we standardise processes across continents. This means less hands-on work and more strategic planning, board presentations, and guiding your leadership team.

Leading the annual strategic planning session where you outline the next generation of automation we'll deploy across all new factories, justifying the £50M investment over five years to the CEO.

Building High-Performing Teams & Capabilities

A big part of your role is hiring, mentoring, and developing your direct reports (who are often managers themselves). You're building the talent pipeline, ensuring we have the right engineering leadership and skills in place globally. This means performance reviews, career discussions, and sometimes tough conversations.

Developing a global talent development programme for Manufacturing Engineers, identifying high-potentials, and sponsoring their advanced training or international assignments.

Driving Large-Scale Impact & Transformation

You'll be accountable for major transformation programmes, like integrating a newly acquired company's manufacturing operations or rolling out a new MES system across all plants. These are complex, multi-year efforts with significant financial and operational impact.

Leading the integration of a new acquisition's manufacturing sites into our global standards, harmonising processes, and consolidating IT systems, aiming for £10M in synergies within 18 months.

What frustrates people

Regional resistance to global standards, often citing 'local conditions' as an excuse.
CapEx approval cycles that feel like navigating a labyrinth, especially for strategic but hard-to-quantify investments.
The 'over-the-wall' design problem, but now at a global scale, where R&D delivers a product that's brilliant but almost impossible to manufacture consistently across diverse facilities.
