Plant Manager

Most senior leader on a manufacturing site

Leads the whole factory: safety, food safety and environmental compliance, service to the business, conversion cost and the site P&L, capital investment, the manufacturing excellence (TPM/UMS/IWS) journey, and the site's people, union and community relations. Success is judged on zero-harm safety, audit and quality results, delivered cost and service, the maturity of the site's operating system and the pipeline of leaders the site produces.
