Specific experience in the following areas would be highly advantageous :
  • Operational Excellence in Rail / Manufacturing : Hands-on experience within one or more key areas of rail product engineering and manufacturing, ideally including supply chain management, manufacturing execution systems (MES), quality assurance / control, automation, procurement, and sustainable design principles. Understanding of current industry best practices and regulatory compliance is crucial. Expertise in areas such as defect prevention, root cause analysis, and implementing continuous improvement initiatives is a plus.
  • Project Leadership and Management : Proven ability to lead and deliver projects related to operational improvement, digital transformation, or strategic planning within high-volume discrete manufacturing environments. Experience in applying lean methodologies and Six Sigma principles - demonstrating quantifiable improvements in productivity, efficiency, and cost reduction - would be particularly valuable.

Familiarity with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, manufacturing execution systems (MES), and other key digital technologies pivotal in modern manufacturing operations is highly valued.
  • Consulting Expertise : Experience in a leading consulting firm, or possessing a strong consulting background while working within a manufacturing environment, will be beneficial. The ideal candidate should readily adapt to matrixed organisational structures, establish strong relationships with colleagues, and effectively sell and implement consulting solutions.
  • Business Acumen & Sales Aptitude : Proven track record in developing impactful propositions and achieving tangible business development results. The candidate should be able to leverage existing company relationships and their own network to generate substantial consulting revenue, ideally in the range of £2 million annually for a Director role. Demonstrate capacity to do the same at the Vice President level, with a target of c. £4 million annually, would significantly strengthen the candidate's profile.
