Who this suits
You’re a hands-on leader who thrives in smaller teams where accountability sits with you. You bring structure, challenge the status quo, and take ownership of both people and performance. You’re commercially aware, comfortable managing budgets, and motivated by building something long-term - with an eye on future plant leadership.
