About The Role

The Devil’s Kitchen, a division of Ecotricity, is a new leading-edge food manufacturing business in Stroud. We will be focusing initially on making frozen Vegan and free-from burgers and balls.

Reporting to the site General Manager we are seeking a dynamic and results-driven individual with strong production experience, preferably within the food manufacturing industry with experience in burger/ball production manufacturing at a SALSA or BRC accredited site. You will have a proven record of developing teams, have experience in delivering continuous improvement projects and have an understanding of planning and stock management systems. This role may also suit an existing Production Supervisor or Production Line Leader looking for the next step in their career.

You will be forward thinking in your outlook and be prepared to lead from the front when required. The role will on occasions require someone who can work autonomously and be confident enough to ensure the production facility is running efficiently and to the required standards whilst the General Manager is off site.

Ideally you will also be trained in first aid and as a fork lift driver, although this training can be given.

• Preparing and starting up the production facility each day
• Running and basic maintenance of machinery used to make the products
• Ensuring that all the raw materials are in stock and ordering more if required
• Monitoring and achieving the daily production output against orders received
• Managing the production team to ensure all quality, food safety and H&S standards are met
• Loading and unloading of vehicles on site
• Arranging the shipping of product to the cold stores
• Ensuring that the site hygiene standards are maintained

About Us

Ecotricity is the greenest energy company in Britain. In fact, when we started back in 1995, we were the first green electricity company in the world.

Our mission was and remains to change the way energy is made and used – after introducing green electricity to the world, we introduced green gas to Britain in 2010 too.

Our model is unique: we use our customers’ energy bills to fund the building of new sources of green energy. We like to refer to this as turning ‘bills into mills’ – energy bills into energy mills, whether that’s wind, sun, sea or gasmills.

We’ve built over seventy wind and sun parks across Britain, we’re planning to build Britain’s first ever Green Gasmills, and through Britwind, our small wind company, we design, build and deliver small wind turbines to landowners and businesses throughout Britain and the world!

We don’t just focus on energy though – we built and run the Electric Highway, Britain’s leading network of electric car chargepoints, we helped Forest Green Rovers become the greenest football club in the world, and launched Britain’s greenest mobile phone service, Ecotalk.

We’re a not-for-dividend company too – which means we’re free to use the money we make for our mission and our mission alone.

We do all of this with the help of our customers – and the awesome team of people here at Ecotricity. Our people believe in our mission – they’re amazing at what they do, and they make a difference every day they come into work.
