Operations Manager” can mean very different things.
Sometimes it is keeping production ticking over.
Sometimes it is warehouse management and scheduling.
Sometimes it is helping modernise and scale a specialist manufacturing business during a major period of transformation.
This role is firmly in the third camp.
I am working with a highly respected textile and garment manufacturing business in Newcastle that is growing significantly and investing heavily in operational systems, visibility, and process improvement.
This is about:
Improving manufacturing efficiency and workflow visibility
Labour tracking and production costing
Supporting operational scaling and systems development
Working within a specialist garment/textile production environment
Helping modernise processes without losing craftsmanship and quality
Working closely with leadership during a major growth phase
The business is heritage-led but genuinely technology-positive.
ERP systems, internally developed apps, operational reporting, process visibility… they want somebody who enjoys improving how manufacturing operations work.
This is not a generic warehouse/logistics role. And it is not a heavily corporate manufacturing environment either.
They need somebody who understands production, garments/textiles, systems, and people.
