Culture & Careers

CMG Technologies may be internationally renowned for metal injection moulding (MIM), as well providing 3D printing and fibre optic components services. But one thing the company truly prides itself on, is the culture we have created for our staff.

The team

The calibre of our team is industry leading, and we understand their importance in the success of the company. Without them, CMG Technologies wouldn’t be what it is today, and we wouldn’t have so many happy clients.

Our culture is more like that of a family – every member of staff is involved in key decisions. That includes the implementation of a four-day week in 2015.

Four-day week

We introduced a four-day week to improve our team’s work-life balance and overall wellbeing, and it certainly achieved that. As well becoming integral to our work culture, it has also led to boosts in productivity and profit.

Working less days gives our team the chance to focus on the important things as life shouldn’t revolve around work. Now, they are able to make the most of time with family and loved ones, as well as fitting in some important relaxation!

CMG Technologies is proof a four-day week works. In fact, our Managing Director, Rachel Garrett, was named in the Timewise Power List 2022 – a collection of successful part-timers in the UK.

Support

Our team’s happiness is paramount, and we are always looking at ways to support it. After all, we are a family and families support each other.

We work to ensure they receive the professional and personal support they need, in a safe working environment. Additionally, we regularly review pay and have introduced a profit-sharing scheme so everyone benefits.

Also, we regularly look for opportunities to have fun outside of work to socialise and relax.

About the role:

As Production Manager, you will lead the front-line operations and have a focus on continuous improvement and lean manufacturing practices. As Production Manager you will be responsible for driving the operational strategy – overseeing health and safety, managing and developing teams, controlling costs, ensuring quality standards, and driving key performance outcomes.

Main Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Operational Leadership: Generate and evolve operational plans for all areas of the production process.   Execute the operational plan with a strong focus on health and safety, regulatory compliance (e.g., ISO9001), quality standards, and performance metrics.
  • Team & Performance Management: Lead, coach, and manage front-line teams, ensuring alignment with company culture, accountability, and effective succession planning.

About you:

As our new Production Manager, you’ll be experienced, with at least two years in a similar role, ideally within a lean manufacturing environment. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential, as you’ll engage with teams and stakeholders across all levels. A recognised management qualification or equivalent operational experience is required, along with a solid understanding of HR, safety protocols, and office software. While not essential, technical knowledge of injection moulding, sintering, and ISO9001:2015 standards is advantageous.
