- Foster an environment of inclusion and everyday engagement that provides capability and inspires performance ensuring that succession planning is in place supported by regular performance reviews and Personal Development Planning.
High quality, hygiene, maximum production, and a high level of safety – is our number one priority here at McCain.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR…
We are looking for someone who can really make a difference to our plant, who brings experience of working in a team, the ability to work closely with their manager, and who has a real ability to bring people along a change journey with them.
- Experience of running Food Production Processes (essential)
- Managing people and facilitating results (essential)
- Experience of managing a high volume 24/7 production environment (essential)
- Experience of hands on culture change

WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?
Although we do encourage you to taste the goods, you’ll be pleased to know we don’t pay you in chips. For working hard, you’ll also get a great salary and some pretty good benefits including:
• An excellent pension where we will pay double what you do, up to a maximum of 12% of your pay • Optional health cash plan
• Cycle to work scheme
• ‘Chips In’ Volunteering Day Off - to make a positive impact to the long-term development of McCain communities across the globe
And of course, being part of a Global business there are great opportunities to shine/thrive should you wish to relocate in the future. We have an impressive 5 year growth plan that presents development & progression opportunities for those who seek it out.
WHERE WILL I WORK?
You’ll be based at our Wombourne plant in Staffordshire. And together our small, but perfectly formed team of over 110 colleagues produce our famous (and well loved) potato Smiles as well as our pre-baked Jacket Spuds.
