Our People Are Our Greatest Resource
Salary: Competitive

At Viridor, we're investing in state-of-the-art recycling facilities, allowing for a wider range of products to be recycled. Our Materials Recycling Facilities (MRFs) are some of the biggest and most advanced of their kind in Europe. Our MRFs across the UK use a combination of advanced mechanical sorting and manual quality control to separate materials into individual streams, ready to be put back to work. Our investment in technology allows us to operate at the highest quality, environmental, energy efficiency and health and safety standards.

We are looking to recruit a Production Supervisor to join our team in Milton Keynes, working 50 hours a week.

Our Production Supervisor will ensure a safe and efficient day to day operation of the Material Recycling Facility, with supervision of the site/yard/machine operatives in line with health and safety practices. You will also ensure that the site is operated to all applicable licences and consents, interacting with site staff, external parties, visitors and contractors.

A key part of this role will be monitoring material outputs to ensure they are in line with Viridor's quality specifications and ensure corrective action is taken when material falls below the required standard. Working with the rest of the team, you will help drive continuous improvement activities across the site and carry out annual Training Reviews and Performance Annual Reviews (PAR's) for employees reporting into you.

Our ideal Production Supervisor:

IOSH Managing Safely or relevant Health & Safety qualification.
Understanding of Continuous Improvement methodology, 5S, lean RCM and Six Sigma.
Knowledge & experience of working and supervising in a manufacturing environment, preferably in the waste management industry
People management skills and maintain good employee relations liaising with different departments in the work place.
Driven and self-motivated, able to adapt to changing situations and maintain a flexible approach to work
Ability to work with low levels of supervision.
At Viridor, we invest in our people to reward them for their hard work. That's why we have a host of company benefits available to you when you join, including an enhanced pension scheme where we match up to 7% of your earnings, depending on how much you put in. We also offer free eye tests and safety eyewear where needed, as well as a whole range of cinema and retail discounts across stores, hotels and holidays. To keep you fit and healthy, you'll have access to discounted gym memberships, a Cycle to Work scheme and our range of health plans with Simply Health. To protect your wellbeing, we also have a 24/7 employee helpline offering emotional support and advice.
