Why You Will Be Excited About This Role

Step into a national operations management role within a well-established, leading manufacturing business located in purpose-built facilities - Ipswich Head Office.

All Purpose Coatings' Directors have steered the business to success and are now looking to take on more strategic roles. This has created a new opportunity for an experienced Operations Manager to take ownership of the day-day running of the business.

With the Directors focusing on strategy, new revenue streams and the future of the business, you will have the ownership of operations as the single point of coordination and accountability. Twelve months in, success looks like a business that runs smoothly without the Directors: production on plan, branches always stocked, campaigns landing on time, and a leadership team that's accountable and aligned.

• Ownership - spanning manufacturing, production, logistics, marketing, admin, and customer experience
• Build from a strong foundation - step into an established, respected business and shape how it's run operationally, including driving efficiency gains
• Direct access to the Directors - work closely with owners as their trusted operational partner, not through layers of management

Why You Will Like Working Here

All Purpose Coatings has built its reputation on product quality and service, and the Directors remain closely involved in the business. Because the business spans manufacturing, production, warehousing, marketing and customer experience under one roof, you'll have broad exposure across every part of a modern manufacturing operation, not a narrow slice of it.
