They will also manage health, safety and environment within their area of responsibility, ensuring staff are compliant with all requirements and driving improvements and use project management tools to plan, organise and manage resources, monitor progress, identify risks and mitigation. They develop, build and motivate team members as well as manage performance and industrial relations.  As well as providing clear direction and leadership to their own team and others, Process leaders build and maintain strong relationships across different disciplines, to ensure that the activities of functions such as HR, purchasing, planning, finance focus on core production KPIs. Effective communication is a core responsibility of the Process leader role, whether this be communication corporate vision and strategy or using data and information to create compelling presentations and drive management decisions.

Process leaders act autonomously as part of a wider production team and are responsible for the delivery of core production KPIs, people, budgets, equipment, materials, supplies, health, safety, environment and risk.
