Are you a results-driven leader with a background in high-end joinery or kitchen manufacturing? Join an established industry leader with over 20 years of success. We are delighted to work once again with one of Ireland's most successful and award-winning Kitchen and Interiors designers and manufacturers. Having placed a key member of their senior management/leadership team in 2025 we are once again assisting them in growing their team forward into 2026 and beyond in line with their organisational strategy.
We are seeking an exceptional Production Floor Manager to oversee our factory operations in Roscommon, driving quality, efficiency, and team excellence.

The Role:
Leading Excellence in Manufacturing
As the Production Floor Manager, you will take full ownership of the factory floor-from the initial machining and wood finishing to final assembly and dispatch. This isn't just a supervisory role; it's a strategic leadership position designed to optimise output and uphold the premium standards our clients expect.

Key Responsibilities:

Manufacturing & Process Oversight
Maximise machine shop output and implement Lean principles to reduce waste.
Synchronize machining and wood finishing with assembly and delivery schedules.
Drive productivity and rigorous quality control across all production stages.
Assembly & Team Management
Lead and mentor a team of 8-10 kitchen assemblers.
Optimize floor layouts and introduce efficient assembly methods to boost productivity.
Conduct performance reviews, identify training needs, and manage labour-to-output ratios.
Logistics, Dispatch & Reworks
Plan assembly schedules one week in advance to ensure "ready-to-go" status for all deliveries.
Collaborate with the Logistics Lead and Fitting Supervisor to minimize snags and reworks.
Ensure all cabinetry is 100% complete and quality-checked before leaving the floor.
General Site Leadership
Act as the primary point of contact for all factory floor operations.
Manage a total workflow involving approximately 25 staff across machining, benches, and logistics.
Lead by delegation:
Empower your team to deliver while maintaining site standards and safety.

Who We're Looking For
We need a leader who understands the "nuts and bolts" of kitchen manufacturing but excels in high-level coordination.

Experience:
Proven track record managing a joinery, furniture, or kitchen production environment.

Skills:
Strong delegation skills with the ability to manage cross-functional teams.
Technical Knowledge:
Familiarity with CNCs, edge banders, and spray systems is highly advantageous.
Methodology:
Practical experience applying Lean manufacturing or similar improvement frameworks.
Communication:
Confident using digital systems, email, and reporting tools.

Why Join?
This is a pivotal role within our client's operations.
They are investing heavily in their leadership team to build a more scalable, efficient business. If you are a proactive problem-solver who wants to make a tangible impact on a thriving company's growth, we want to hear from you.
