3What this role really is

This job involves keeping food production lines running smoothly, day in, day out. You are the go-to person for keeping things moving, hitting targets, and making sure everything produced meets quality standards. It is a hands-on job, based on the shop floor rather than behind a desk.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

SAP S/4HANA or Oracle NetSuite (ERP/MRP) Advanced

Creating/modifying production orders, managing master data (BOMs, routings) for your products, building custom reports to track output and material usage, troubleshooting transaction errors that stop the line.

Veeva QualityOne or MasterControl (QMS) Advanced

Initiating and managing CAPAs, authoring/revising SOPs for your workstreams, acting as a power user for audit trails during internal or external inspections, training operators on QMS usage.

Manhattan Associates WMS or Infor WMS (WMS) Intermediate

Reconciling inventory discrepancies between physical stock and system records, analysing stock aging reports to prevent spoilage, configuring basic bin logic, and optimising picking paths for your material handlers.

Microsoft Excel (Power Query, PivotTables) Advanced

Building complex production models to forecast output or analyse yield, creating new Power BI dashboards from scratch to visualise line performance, and using Power Query to clean and merge data from various sources for reporting.

Microsoft Teams & SharePoint (Collaboration) Advanced

Creating and managing Teams channels/SharePoint sites for specific projects or workstreams, building simple workflows using Power Automate for automated notifications (e.g., when a batch is on hold).

SCADA Systems (e.g., Ignition, Wonderware) / MES (e.g., Plex) Intermediate

Analysing historical trend data from the lines to identify process deviations, helping define parameters for new product runs, and using system data to troubleshoot intermittent equipment issues.

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Daily Production Schedule Adjustments Follows instructions from Senior Coordinator or Manager. Escalates all deviations. Adjusts minor aspects of the schedule (e.g., sequence of non-critical products) within defined parameters. Consults manager on significant changes. Makes independent decisions on sequencing, re-prioritisation within a shift, and resource allocation for assigned lines to meet targets. Consults Production Manager on changes impacting other departments or overall weekly attainment.
Quality Deviation & Non-Conformance Identifies and reports deviations immediately to Senior Coordinator or QA. Does not make decisions on product disposition. Records non-conformances, initiates basic CAPA processes, and implements immediate containment actions as per SOP. Escalates anything beyond routine. Independently assesses non-conformances, determines immediate corrective actions, initiates and leads CAPA investigations, and makes recommendations on product disposition (e.g., 'hold' vs 'rework') in consultation with QA. Escalates major food safety risks to Production Manager and QA Manager.
Process Improvement Implementation Suggests ideas to supervisor. Participates in improvement activities as directed. Proposes small improvements to manager. May lead a small, well-defined improvement task. Identifies opportunities, designs, and leads small to medium-sized process improvement projects (e.g., Kaizen events) within their workstream. Recommends changes to SOPs and gains approval from relevant stakeholders.
Equipment Troubleshooting & Maintenance Monitors line status, acknowledges basic alarms, reports faults to maintenance. Performs basic troubleshooting (e.g., clears jams, resets minor faults). Calls maintenance for anything beyond simple fixes. Diagnoses more complex equipment issues, performs advanced troubleshooting, and coordinates with maintenance for repairs. Makes decisions on whether to run a line at reduced speed or shut down for repair, weighing impact on schedule and quality. Authorises minor spare part requests (£500 limit).

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Schedule Attainment
How much of the planned production schedule you actually complete within the given timeframe.
Target · >95% weekly

If the plan was to produce 10 batches of product X and 5 batches of product Y, and you completed 9 of X and 5 of Y, that's a 93.3% attainment for that week (14/15).

Yield Improvement
Reducing the amount of raw material waste or product loss during your assigned production runs.
Target · Lead project to reduce yield loss by 2% quarter-on-quarter

If a line typically loses 8% of raw material during processing, you'd aim to bring that down to 6% through process adjustments or operator training. We'll track specific projects you lead here.

Changeover Time Reduction
Decreasing the time it takes to switch a production line from one product to another, including cleaning and setup.
Target · Decrease average changeover time by 15% for your primary lines

If a particular line changeover usually takes 120 minutes, your goal would be to get that down to 102 minutes through better planning, tooling, or team coordination. This really helps us get more product out.

Batch Record Accuracy & Completion
Ensuring all production documentation (batch records, logs) is filled out correctly, completely, and on time.
Target · >99% accuracy with zero critical errors identified by QA

QA will spot-check your batch records. If they find missing signatures, incorrect weights, or unlogged deviations, that counts against you. Getting this right is crucial for traceability and audits.

Team Mentorship & Development
How effectively you guide and develop junior team members, helping them improve their skills and understanding of food production processes.
  • Junior team members proactively seek your advice
  • their individual performance metrics improve over time
  • you regularly provide constructive feedback and training
  • positive feedback from your manager on your coaching abilities.
Process Improvement Initiative Leadership
Your ability to identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies on the production floor and lead small projects to fix them.
  • You propose and lead at least one Kaizen event or similar improvement project per quarter
  • the projects you lead show tangible benefits (e.g., reduced waste, faster processes)
  • your ideas are adopted by the wider team.
Quality & Safety Culture Contribution
Your active role in promoting and upholding our food safety and quality standards on the floor.
  • You consistently challenge unsafe practices or quality deviations
  • you're seen as a champion for GMPs and HACCP
  • you proactively identify potential risks before they become issues
  • positive feedback from the QA team.

7Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Seeing Tangible Results

You get a real buzz from seeing a full production run completed, knowing that your planning and execution made it happen. When a new batch of product comes off the line perfectly, that's your reward.

Successfully coordinating a complex changeover and hitting the target output for a new product launch, seeing the pallets stack up at the end of the shift.

Solving Problems & Optimising Processes

You're energised by figuring out why a line is underperforming or how to shave a few minutes off a changeover time. You enjoy the challenge of making things run more smoothly.

Identifying a bottleneck in the packaging area and implementing a small change that reduces downtime by 10 minutes per shift, making a real difference.

Mentoring & Developing Others

You enjoy sharing your knowledge and helping junior colleagues understand the nuances of food production. Seeing someone you've coached 'get it' and improve their performance is genuinely satisfying.

Spending time explaining the importance of a specific GMP step to a new operative, and later seeing them confidently apply it without prompting.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Sales-Driven Fire Drill': Getting an urgent demand from the sales team for a custom run that completely torpedoes a carefully planned weekly schedule, causing multiple painful changeovers.
  • Procurement's 'Perfect' Substitute': When the purchasing department saves £0.02/kg on a raw ingredient that has slightly different properties, causing chaos with processing times and product consistency.
  • The QC Bottleneck: Having a batch ready to go but being stuck waiting for hours (or a whole shift) for the lab to provide the final quality release, holding up the entire line.
  • Death by Paperwork: Spending the last hour of a physically exhausting shift manually filling out batch records, reconciliation forms, and downtime logs with painstaking accuracy, knowing one mistake could cause a huge problem.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, desk-bound environment with minimal interaction.
  • A role where you can ignore strict procedures for the sake of speed.
  • A job where you're always working on brand new, exciting projects (a lot of it is about consistent, reliable execution).
  • A place where you don't have to get your hands dirty or deal with the realities of a factory floor.

8Who you work with

This role directly impacts our operational efficiency, product quality, and ability to meet customer demand. Get it right, and we're profitable and growing. Get it wrong, and we're looking at significant waste, customer complaints, and potential regulatory issues. You're a key player in keeping the business running and our reputation solid.

Inside the business
  • Production Manager (for strategy and escalations)
  • Quality Assurance Team (for compliance and issue resolution)
  • Warehouse & Logistics (for material supply and finished goods dispatch)
  • Maintenance Team (for equipment uptime and repairs)
  • Planning & Scheduling (for receiving the master schedule)
  • Product Development (for new product trials and feedback)
Outside the business
  • Equipment suppliers (for technical support)
  • Raw material vendors (for quality issues, though less direct)

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Proven experience (5+ years) in a food manufacturing environment, ideally in a coordinator or team lead role.
  • A solid understanding of food safety principles (HACCP, GMPs) gained through formal training or extensive experience.
  • Demonstrable experience in managing production schedules and material flow for specific lines or shifts.
  • A track record of identifying and implementing small process improvements on the factory floor.
  • Strong analytical skills, particularly with Microsoft Excel, for tracking performance and troubleshooting.
  • Excellent communication skills—you need to be able to talk to operators, managers, and technical teams effectively.
  • The ability to work independently, make sound decisions under pressure, and lead a small team informally.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, you're busy. The production floor doesn't stop, and neither do the demands on your time. But what if you could offload some of the tedious, time-consuming tasks to intelligent AI tools? We're not talking about robots taking over your job; we're talking about smart assistants that free you up to focus on the really important stuff: solving problems, improving processes, and leading your team.

Our AI Productivity Hub is packed with tools specifically designed for Operations professionals like you. Imagine cutting down on manual data entry, getting smarter insights faster, and automating those repetitive reports. This isn't just about buzzwords; it's about practical applications that make your day-to-day work smoother and more effective. Here's a glimpse of how AI could change your game:

Predictive Production Scheduling

Our AI analyses sales forecasts, historical changeover times, allergen sequences, and raw material lead times to generate an optimised weekly production schedule. It helps you minimise downtime, reduce waste, and hit those tricky targets more consistently. No more spending hours manually tweaking the plan—the AI gives you a solid starting point.

Predictive Maintenance Analysis

Imagine knowing a machine is about to fail before it actually breaks down. This AI monitors real-time sensor data (like vibration, temperature, pressure) from critical equipment to predict potential failures. This means you can schedule maintenance proactively, avoiding costly emergency breakdowns and keeping your lines running without unexpected stops.

Automated Regulatory Summaries

New food safety regulations come out all the time, and frankly, reading through dense legal documents is a pain. Our LLM-powered tool scans and summarises new FDA/CFIA regulatory updates, highlighting key changes that impact your current SOPs and GMPs. It translates that legal jargon into actionable operational checklists, saving you hours of reading and interpretation.

Intelligent Shift Handoff Reports

At the end of a long shift, the last thing you want is to spend ages writing a detailed handoff report. This AI automatically pulls key data from the ERP (units produced), QMS (deviations logged), and SCADA (downtime events) to auto-generate a comprehensive shift handoff report. It ensures nothing is missed, making your end-of-shift process quicker and more accurate.
