SoCode are working with a very exciting fast growing company based just outside of Cambridge to source a Head of Manufacturing.

Our client, a relatively small but fast growing start up, have developed a ground breaking electronic product and are now in a very enticing commercial position. With existing ongoing orders, our client is in a very stable position. With a very strong pipeline of orders currently in process, and plenty of existing investors who are requesting to invest further, the expectation is for the company to grow significantly over the next 6 months.

The existing orders are able to be produced using smaller scale batch contract manufacture, but the scale of the production has reached a stage where this is no longer a reasonable solution.  With the planned orders for next year, it would become impossible.

As such, we are looking for a Head of Manufacturing / Manufacturing Manager who has proven experience in leading this area of engineering. Someone who has the ability to establish a larger scale contract manufacturing plan.  Someone who can come in and work across the board to ensure that products are delivered on time, in budget, and to the correct quality levels.  If you are a very good Manufacturing Manager who would like to take the next step in their career, this could be for you.  Equally if you are an experienced Head of, then this is an opportunity to join a company at the early stages and really be part of growing something.

Our client are currently based just outside Cambridge, but with the continued growth and ambition, they will be looking for new premises that are more centrally based in the next few months. 

A fantastic team and a very exciting opportunity awaits!
