About the job
Join Simpsons Malt Limited, the UK’s premier independent malting company with over 150 years of excellence in supplying brewers and distillers. Our clients range from small craft brewers to large multinational corporations, both in the UK and worldwide.
Located at our Tivetshall Maltings site, strategically positioned between Norwich and Diss, we have invested significantly in our facilities. Our unique selling proposition lies in producing an extensive variety of high-quality specialty and base malts that cater to the brewing industry, with a growing emphasis on global exports.
This site presents a dynamic production environment, featuring 24/7 batch processing and a diverse array of equipment, including traditional driers, dressers, elevators, and conveyors, alongside cutting-edge PLC-controlled roasting ovens, germinating vessels, and a palletizer/bagging line. To support our ongoing investment program and focus on continuous improvement, we are looking to expand our site management team.
The successful candidate will join a team of Production Managers who work Monday to Friday, yet hold 24/7, comprehensive responsibility for specific areas of the production process. Your role will involve ensuring the highest quality of products, motivating operators, maintaining health and safety standards, and continuously seeking process improvements across various performance metrics. Although primarily a day-based role, you will need to be available for out-of-hours calls and participate in a weekend rota with the management team to provide guidance and quality assessments.
While effective people management is crucial in this role, it is also essential to develop a strong understanding of the science of malting to meet our customers' expectations. Candidates are encouraged to express their preferences and experience in batch processing or line-based areas within their cover letters.
Our site is committed to safety and quality, prioritizing the manner in which work is done over merely meeting production targets.
