🌏Shape what comes next by influencing positive change, improving operational flow, and building capability across the manufacturing function

💥Join a business where quality, innovation, and collaboration come together to create life-changing medical devices used around the world

About us:

Enztec are not just shaping the future of orthopaedic instruments and implants; they're pioneering innovation with precision and passion. As a leading orthopaedic and medical device manufacturer, Enztec’s commitment to excellence drives every aspect of their work. From their cutting-edge design processes to their unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction, they're revolutionising the orthopaedic industry one instrument at a time.

With a passionate team of experts and a culture of collaboration, Enztec is where innovation meets craftsmanship, and where every individual contributes to their collective success.

About the Role:

Reporting to the Head of Manufacturing, this role leads Enztec's Assembly and Components teams - two highly experienced groups of people who take genuine pride in the products they manufacture and the impact those products have on improving patient outcomes around the world.

This isn't a role where you'll be walking into dysfunction or spending your time putting out fires. Instead, you'll be joining a stable, capable team with strong tenure, deep product knowledge, and a shared commitment to quality. The opportunity lies in building on those foundations - creating greater alignment, strengthening capability, improving operational flow, and helping the teams continue to evolve as the business grows.

As Production Manager, you'll provide visible, hands-on leadership across the manufacturing environment. You'll spend time on the floor understanding the realities of the operation, supporting your Team Leads, removing barriers, and ensuring people have what they need to perform at their best.

Working closely with Quality, Engineering, and the wider manufacturing team, you'll be responsible for balancing customer commitments, production requirements, quality standards, and operational priorities. Success in this role requires strong commercial acumen, sound judgement, and the ability to confidently reprioritise when circumstances change. You'll understand that quality isn't negotiable, customer commitments matter, and the best outcomes are achieved by making practical decisions that consider both the immediate need and the wider business impact.

This is a role for someone who enjoys influencing positive change through people. Someone who can bring structure without bureaucracy, challenge constructively, build trust quickly, and help good teams become even better. You'll respect what already works, while identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, strengthen capability, and create greater consistency across the operation.

Key Responsibilities Include:

• Leading and supporting the Assembly and Components teams to deliver high-quality outcomes in a safe and efficient manufacturing environment

• Coaching and developing Team Leads, building capability, accountability, and confidence across the operation

• Identifying opportunities to improve production flow, efficiency, and team effectiveness while maintaining Enztec's high standards of quality

• Working collaboratively across the wider organisation to ensure products are manufactured and delivered to customers on time and to specification

• Navigating changing priorities, production demands, and customer requirements while making sound commercial decisions

• Using operational data and performance metrics to identify trends, solve problems, and drive continuous improvement initiatives

• Building strong engagement across the teams through visible leadership, clear communication, and a practical, people-first approach

• Supporting compliance with Enztec's quality systems and regulated manufacturing requirements

• Championing a culture of collaboration, continuous improvement, and shared ownership of results

About You:

You're an experienced production or manufacturing leader who understands that great operational outcomes come through people. While you're comfortable managing the day-to-day demands of a manufacturing environment, your real strength lies in building capable teams, developing leaders, and creating an environment where people can do their best work.

You bring a practical, commercially minded approach to leadership and are comfortable making decisions when priorities compete. Whether it's balancing customer commitments, production schedules, resource constraints, quality requirements, or operational challenges, you're able to assess the bigger picture, reprioritise when needed, and make sound decisions that support both customer outcomes and business performance.

Naturally collaborative, you're skilled at building strong relationships across teams and aligning people around shared goals You lead with visibility and credibility, preferring to spend time with your teams, understand what's happening on the floor, and work alongside people to solve problems and remove barriers. As a result, you're able to build trust quickly and bring people with you through change. You communicate clearly, influence without relying on authority, and have a knack for turning complexity into practical action. 

Enztec is a business built on innovation, quality, and a genuine passion for improving patient outcomes. We're looking for a Production Manager who shares those values - someone who respects what has already been built, while helping shape what comes next through strong leadership, continuous improvement, and a commitment to operational excellence.

We are looking for:

• Proven experience leading teams within a manufacturing, production, operations, or regulated industrial environment

• Strong understanding and appreciation of engineering trades, tooling and production processes

• Demonstrated success coaching, developing, and influencing leaders and teams to achieve strong operational outcomes.

• A track record of identifying and implementing continuous improvement initiatives that enhance productivity, quality, efficiency, capability, or team performance.

• Strong technical capability across Excel, the Microsoft Office suite, and operational systems, with the ability to leverage data to identify trends, solve problems, monitor performance, and support informed decision-making.

• A natural curiosity for technology, systems, and process improvement, with an eye for identifying smarter and more efficient ways of working.

• Experience using operational metrics and performance data to drive accountability, improve visibility, and support continuous improvement initiatives.

• The ability to build credibility quickly and develop strong working relationships across manufacturing, quality, engineering, and wider business functions.

• Experience working within a regulated manufacturing environment (ISO 13485 or similar is advantageous), with exposure to quality systems, compliance requirements, and quality-focused production environments highly regarded.

• Strong planning, organisational, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to remain calm, adaptable, and effective when priorities shift.

• A visible and hands-on leadership style, with a genuine commitment to supporting teams, removing barriers, and creating an environment where people can perform at their best.

• Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage people at all levels, navigate differing priorities, and bring others on the journey.
