About the Role
Reporting to the Production Manager, this is a hands-on supervisory role focused on keeping the production floor running safely, compliantly, and efficiently every day. Key responsibilities include:
- Supervising the production team on the floor — directing workflow, monitoring output, and leading by example
- Ensuring all food safety and quality documentation (SQF) is completed accurately and on time
- Maintaining food safety standards and GMP compliance across the shift
- Supporting the Production Manager with daily production coordination
- Assisting with raw material and packaging ordering
- Supporting inbound goods receiving and outbound freight coordination
- Supporting induction and on-the-job training of production staff
- Identifying and escalating any production, safety, or quality issues promptly
Full training will be provided — we're looking for the right person, not the right resume.
About You
- Experience supervising a team in a food production environment OR a Commercial Cookery qualification with experience managing or supervising staff in a large, busy kitchen
- Reliable, organised, and comfortable working to daily production schedules
- Hands-on and practical — this is a floor role, not a desk job
- A team player who takes pride in their work and supports the people around them
- Familiarity with food safety documentation (SQF or HACCP) is an advantage but not essential — we'll train the right candidate
- English fluency beneficial. We're a diverse workplace and are happy to work with the right candidate where English is a developing skill
Why Work with Us?
- Great hours — 7:00am to 3:30pm, Monday to Friday
- Friendly, supportive team and a positive workplace culture
- Stable, national business with strong retail and foodservice customers
- Full training provided
- Real opportunity to grow within a fast-moving food manufacturing business
