Do you think you have the qualities required to make a good team leader? Do you have passion for what you do, as well as the drive to make improvements? We are looking for individuals to step up as Value Stream Team Leaders and to take responsibility of a value stream and to achieve agreed output targets in terms of Quality, Cost, Delivery and People. This is a challenging role due to the fluid nature of the manufacturing environment, which continually changes depending on current and future business needs.

If you think you have what it takes to successfully manage a team, then we would love to hear from you.

The opportunity

In this role you will be responsible for producing the team plan from the master production plan and managing the workload to ensure all milestones are achieved in terms of quality, output and efficiency. You will agree and implement measures and targets, monitor and control performance, as well as reporting on progress and initiating corrective action as required. You can expect involvement with implementing improvement activities for your cell, maintaining the MRP system and providing production support as required. You will also be responsible for the development of staff within your area, including PDRs, objective setting and managing annual leave requests.

About you

It is not essential to have previous experience in a team leader role, we are looking for individuals who can build, motivate and develop a team, including identifying skill gaps, and lead by example. The ability to influence others and respond positively to change is critical.

Benefits

In addition to a competitive starting salary, Oxford Instruments offers flexible working hours and a half-day on Fridays, 25 days annual leave, private healthcare, a share incentive plan, a defined contribution Group Personal Pension Plan, and a flexible benefits package that you can tailor to your own requirements.
