Full job description

About the Company

Based in West Yorkshire, our client is a well-established precision engineering company specialising in tooling and bespoke manufacturing. They pride themselves on technical excellence, sustainability through precision reclamation and long-standing client relationships across the UK manufacturing sector.

Following the planned transition of their current Managing Director, our client is looking for an accomplished, commercially astute leader to step into the business immediately on an interim-to-permanent basis, guiding the company through its next phase of strategic growth and operational excellence.

The Role

As Managing Director, you will hold full P&L responsibility and provide clear, hands-on leadership across the entire business. Working closely with an established senior leadership team - including the Operations Director and Commercial Director - you will balance strategic commercial growth with day-to-day operational efficiency on the shop floor.

Our client is looking for a leader who understands the nuances of precision engineering and SME manufacturing, and who brings the commercial drive, financial acumen and sales leadership needed to expand their market footprint while safeguarding their high standards of quality and customer service.

Key Responsibilities

  • Strategic & Commercial Leadership: Define and execute the company’s commercial strategy, driving new business development, strengthening key account relationships and identifying growth opportunities across precision tooling and manufacturing markets.
  • Brand & Marketing Oversight: Work alongside external marketing agencies and internal stakeholders to align brand positioning, lead-generation campaigns and market communications with wider commercial goals.
  • Financial Management: Take full ownership of the P&L, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management and margin optimisation to ensure sustainable profitability.
  • Operational & Engineering Oversight: Partner with the Operations Director to oversee production, quality control, supply chain and Continuous Improvement (CI) initiatives, ensuring lean, safe and efficient toolroom operations.
  • People & Culture: Lead, mentor and inspire the team, championing a collaborative, high-performance workplace culture alongside robust HSE and HR standards.
  • Board Reporting: Report directly to the Board on business performance, strategic milestones and financial health.

The Ideal Candidate

  • Industry Background: Proven leadership experience within a precision engineering, tooling or SME mechanical manufacturing environment. An engineering qualification or hands-on technical pedigree is strongly preferred.
  • Continuous Improvement Expertise: Demonstrable experience embedding lean manufacturing methodologies and Continuous Improvement (CI) practices to drive productivity, reduce waste and optimise shop-floor performance.
  • Commercial, Sales & Marketing Acumen: A demonstrable track record of driving sales growth, negotiating high-value contracts, working effectively with external marketing agencies and building strong external networks by deeply understanding customer needs.
  • Financial Rigour: Solid financial literacy with direct experience managing P&Ls, costings, pricing strategies and commercial risk.
  • Leadership Style: A pragmatic, visible and decisive leader who can operate effectively both in the boardroom and on the shop floor, coaching senior managers and fostering accountability.
  • Availability: Immediately available (or on very short notice) to commence on an interim basis, with a clear view to transitioning into the permanent Managing Director role.

Diversity & Inclusion

Both we and our client believe that different perspectives and backgrounds are what make a company flourish. All qualified applicants will receive equal consideration for employment regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, economic status, disability, age or any other legally protected characteristics. Our client is proud to be an inclusive employer with values grounded in equality and ethics, where diversity is celebrated, supported and embraced.
