Lancashire

Are you a Site Manufacturing Director looking for your next interim contract?

Our client is a pharmaceutical batch manufacturer and needs your skills to oversee their operations until a permanent recruit is appointed.

Over the past twelve months, they have made changes to their site leadership team and invested heavily in new, industry-leading machinery. They are keen to develop their production processes to achieve the levels of output and quality standards their customers require.

As a Manufacturing Director with significant experience of working in pharmaceutical manufacturing, you'll know what that entails. The operational staff are enthusiastic but need guidance in lean/CI techniques to improve their performance. As such, you'll need to take a hands-on approach to training, mentoring, and developing those teams.

Given the nature of their products, quality is paramount. Indeed, you'll be working closely with their new Quality Director to help them hit their production targets while improving product quality and the quality culture of the company.

Our client envisages you will be degree qualified in an engineering discipline and your background will include GMP within a batch manufacturing, pharmaceutical environment. They feel their operational teams will respond well to a hands-on, visible leader who is ever-present and taking an active role in their training, mentoring, and daily problem-solving. As such, you'll probably have a collaborative style and will be comfortable engaging with all levels of the business.

As you can imagine, there is much more detail to discuss on this role, so please indicate your interest by emailing your CV, quoting reference LX 942274
