Lead your production cell — managing a small team of operatives, allocating work, maintaining pace, and holding the team to SolidCor’s quality and output standards throughout the shift.
Work hands-on alongside your team, demonstrating best practice in assembly, machining, or finishing operations and supporting operatives to develop their skills.
Monitor cell output in real time, identifying and resolving bottlenecks, quality issues, or resource constraints before they impact the wider production programme.
Carry out quality checks on work produced within the cell, ensuring all products meet specification and are fully compliant before leaving your area.
Report shift output, quality, and any issues accurately to the Production Shift Manager at handover.
Maintain a clean, safe, and well-organised cell at all times — leading by example on H&S standards and ensuring all team members follow safe working practices.
Support the onboarding and training of new operatives joining your cell.
Identify opportunities to improve cell efficiency, quality, and ways of working, feeding ideas back to the Shift Manager or Plant Director.
Act as a positive, visible leader within the factory — contributing to a high performance, team-first culture across the site.

An A-player mindset — high standards, extreme ownership and the drive to do things properly, the first time.
Proven experience as a bench joiner, production operative, or similar role within a manufacturing or joinery environment.
A natural leader — confident directing and motivating a small team while maintaining your own hands-on contribution.
Strong quality consciousness — an eye for detail and a genuine commitment to right first-time production.
Able to read and work accurately from technical drawings, cut lists, and production specifications.
Good understanding of H&S requirements in a factory environment, with a lead-by example approach to safe working.
Reliable, consistent, and self-motivated — someone who takes pride in the performance of their team and their area.
