This is a business entering a genuinely exciting new chapter.
With major investment, renewed momentum and ambitious long-term plans in place, the organisation is now focused on strengthening capability, developing leaders and building a culture that supports sustainable growth.
This is a highly visible Learning & Development role with genuine influence across leadership, culture and workforce capability. You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders and operational leaders to modernise learning, strengthen leadership capability and drive meaningful organisational change across a predominantly blue-collar workforce.
What makes this role different?

- New HR and LMS systems being implemented
- Real autonomy to shape the function and make decisions
- Long-term focus on skills retention and future workforce planning
Key focus areas
- Leadership and management capability development
- Refreshing performance and development frameworks
- Building technical and behavioural competency pathways
- Supporting apprenticeship and early careers initiatives
- Driving engagement and cultural improvement activity
- Embedding modern learning approaches across the organisation
About you
- You’ll come from a hands on industrial, manufacturing, engineering or operational environment and be comfortable operating within a complex, fast moving business
- Proven experience operating as a Learning & Development Manager within a commercially driven organisation
- Resilient, credible and confident enough to challenge, influence and build trust across all levels of the organisation
- Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to operate effectively across both operational and leadership populations
- Public sector and heavily corporate environments are unlikely to align with the realities of this workforce
If you’re an experienced Learning & Development Manager looking for a role where you can genuinely influence culture, capability and long term organisational growth, this could be the role for you.
