Head of
Manufacturing
We are delighted to have been retained by Cunningham with
this new position of Head of Manufacturing.
With a rich history spanning nearly 65 years, Cunningham is now a global
leader in the supply of innovative protective covers. Its products, which use
advanced materials, supply sectors as diverse as aviation to aquaculture and
are sold globally from the UK and Ireland to Europe, the Middle East, Africa,
South America, and Australia.
As a highly ambitious company, Cunningham has ventured into
new international markets and is undergoing a substantial capital investment
and expansion initiative, poised to increase manufacturing capacity by almost
40%. In the context of this growth
ambition, the newly appointed Head of Manufacturing will spearhead a new era of
state-of-the-art production and commercial success.
In addition to managing manufacturing operations, the
successful candidate will lead important strategic business improvement
projects, including ERP implementation. You will further develop the continuous
improvement philosophy that will be critical in ensuring Cunningham retains its
market-leading position and optimises its commercial performance.
We are keen to hear from talented senior production or
manufacturing managers who have been hugely impactful in their careers, ideally
having gained experience within a low-volume, high-variety production
environment. Your inspirational
leadership skills and ability to build high-performing teams will have been
central to your success.
As a data-driven professional, you should be passionate
about systems integration, with exposure to ERP or similar manufacturing
software, and recognise the value of data insights in decision-making.
This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and
inspirational leader who is ready to advance their career. The competitive
remuneration package and significant personal growth opportunities, which will potentially
lead to the role of General Manager, make this a compelling prospect.
