Smurfit Westrock March
How to Apply Outline of Opportunity
Job title – Operations Director
Salary: Competitive, plus bonus and benefits
Location: March, Cambridgeshire
Smurfit Westrock is the world’s largest paper-based packaging company and is a NYSE listed with circa 100,000 colleagues in operations in over 50 countries across the globe.
At our March site in Cambridgeshire an exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic and creative Operations Director to join our senior team reporting to Catherine Carey, the General Manager. We have almost 200 talented colleagues in our team. Our site is a highly automated, corrugated packaging plant, running a 3-shift pattern, 5 days per week. We offer a complex product offering to our FMCG, Produce and eCommerce customers. Servicing local, national and global brands our vision is “Proud to make complexity safe, simple and efficient”.
This role plays a crucial part in setting and delivering the site business strategy. You’ll plan and deliver maintenance and capital investment budgets for all plant, equipment, buildings and transport. You’ll also be responsible for ensuring the factory operates in a safe and efficient manner with key consideration towards the health & safety of all colleagues on site (including contractors), quality, reliability, continuous improvement, environmental, and cost controls.
Although it may be helpful to understand the sustainable packaging sector, this is by no means a necessity but being a highly experienced operations professional from a related sector such as FMCG and manufacturing, is crucial. You’ll be a credible and visible role model, ensuring that colleagues are working towards achieving clearly defined goals whilst maintaining excellent factory relationships. You’ll also have ability to decipher data and most importantly you’ll be a great and engaging leader.
If you have these skills and you want to be part of a successful growth site in a progressive company, please read the candidate information and follow the how to apply instructions. Our recruiting partners at Hays Executive will be happy to assist if you have any queries.
