About the Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Conversion Team Leader to join our team here at Louth, at a time of growth and expansion within our Conversion area.

Conversion is a critical part of our manufacturing process, where corrugated board is transformed into finished, customer-ready packaging. This includes activities such as cutting, printing, folding, gluing, and finishing products to exact customer specifications. As a Conversion Team Leader, you will play a key role in ensuring this process runs safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards.

This role is ideal for an experienced production team member or current Team Leader who is looking to take the next step in their leadership journey. You will have hands-on involvement in production while also being responsible for leading, coaching, and developing a growing team of operators and assistants.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead, motivate, and support a team within the Conversion production area
  • Be hands-on with day-to-day machine operations, setting the standard for safe and effective working

  • Coach, train, and develop operators and assistants to build capability, flexibility, and engagement
  • Ensure strict adherence to Health & Safety, Quality, Housekeeping, and Environmental standards
  • Monitor performance, identify issues, and support corrective actions to maintain flow and efficiency
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives, including waste reduction, efficiency improvements, and best practice
  • Communicate effectively with Shift Managers, Engineering, and Support Functions to resolve operational challenges
  • Support new starters and skill development as the Conversion team continues to expand

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven Team Leader or supervisory experience (Desirable - in a manufacturing or production environment)
  • Ability to lead people through coaching
  • Strong understanding of Health & Safety and quality standards
  • Ability to lead by example with a hands-on, practical approach
  • Positive, proactive, and solutions-focused mindset
  • Strong teamwork and collaboration skills
  • Desire to develop others and build a high-performing team
  • Willingness to learn and grow within a leadership role

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
