Continuous Improvement Manager

Do you have continuous improvement experience that you would like to put to use in a diverse and dynamic new role? Does supporting and developing colleagues to solve their problems through CI tools and techniques excite you? Do you thrive within a changing environment where you are able to solve complex problems? If yes, we have the opportunity for you!

GXO are currently looking for two Continuous Improvement Managers to join our flagship, fully automated Nestle site in Kegworth. The site uses a combination of leading-edge automation and 4IR technologies to create a ‘best of breed’ template to be used worldwide. Join us and you will be at the forefront of innovation, harnessing cutting-edge technology to enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and elevate overall performance. This role offers a unique opportunity to lead transformational projects, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive continuous improvement initiatives that shape the future of logistics.

This role is being offered on a full-time, permanent basis, and the hours of work are Monday to Friday, 09:00 - 17:00. However, we do require a level of flexibility - this is logistics after all!

Pay, benefits and more:

You’ll be paid a salary of up to £45,000 per annum, you’ll also receive 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), as well as the option to buy additional days so you can enjoy a positive work-life balance. Your benefits package includes a company sponsored pension scheme, private medical and dental insurance, a 24/7 online GP service, life assurance and a fully comprehensive employee assistance programme. You’ll have access to our MyBenefits platform offering a variety of high street discounts, a cycle to work scheme, cashback cards, a saving scheme and much more. You’ll also have access to our GXO University which provides you the opportunity to learn new skills and gain qualifications at a pace that you’re comfortable with. There’s also our continued focus on internal promotions, over 55% last year!

What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Identify cost savings and efficiencies utilising current resources and operational synergies to drive improvement where possible
• Liaise with the Finance Manager to record and track assumptions, and actual savings to identify the true benefit and any gainshare opportunities
• Identify new/emerging technologies to explore as part of the site digital agenda, also liaise with tech incubators and academic institutes to explore “outside of the box” solutions   
• Enhance staff performance through the implementation and management of engagement initiatives, providing appropriate learning opportunities, fostering a culture of long-term engagement with staff

What you need to succeed at GXO:

• You’ll have continuous improvement experience within a warehouse environment and experience within a highly automated, technologically advanced environment would be beneficial
• You’ll possess expert knowledge of business improvement methodologies and be Six Sigma Yellow Belt certified as a minimum
• You’ll have proven experience of leading successful CI or business transformation programmes
• You’ll be people focused and able to demonstrate empathy, engagement and development
