About the Role
Our client, a well-established manufacturer serving the automotive supply chain both locally and abroad, is searching for a seasoned operations leader to take the reins of their entire plant. This is a rare opportunity to step into a role with genuine end-to-end ownership — not just overseeing one function, but shaping how an entire factory performs.
Why This Role Stands Out
You won't just be managing a department you'll be the single point of accountability for six interconnected functions: Production, Engineering, Maintenance, Quality, Planning, and Warehouse. It's a role built for someone who thinks in systems, not silos, and who's energized by turning six moving parts into one well-oiled machine.
The Mandate
- Build and drive the operational roadmap that lifts productivity, quality, and efficiency plant-wide
- Bring Production, Engineering, Maintenance, QA, Planning, and Warehouse under one cohesive strategy
- Define KPIs that matter, then hold every function accountable to them
- Keep machines running — championing preventive maintenance over firefighting
- Protect product integrity so every shipment meets automotive-grade specifications
- Balance planning and inventory to hit delivery targets without excess stock
- Own the numbers: budgets, cost discipline, and financial reporting for the whole site
- Keep the plant safe, compliant, and audit-ready at all times
- Handle sensitive business matters with the discretion the role demands
What You Bring
- A decade or more leading teams across Production, Engineering, Maintenance, QA, Planning, or Warehouse in an industrial setting
- Direct experience in Auto Parts or Electronic Parts manufacturing
- A history of pulling multi-functional teams together and delivering results, not just reports
- The presence to lead, the clarity to communicate, and the nerve to decide under pressure
- A sharp, logical mind that stays composed when things get busy
- A degree in Engineering, Industrial Management, or a related discipline
On Offer
- A compensation package that reflects the scope of the role
- Genuine runway for career growth within the organization
- A workplace culture that backs its managers rather than micromanaging them
