Full-Time | Hands-On Role | Some Flexibility Required

We’re looking for a down-to-earth, capable, and confident Production Supervisor to lead our client’s food production team. This is a sole charge role, so you'll be running the show on the afternoon shift – making sure everything flows smoothly, the team is supported, and quality standards are met.

If you're someone who can lead a team, solve problems on the fly, and jump in wherever needed – this could be the perfect fit.

 

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Running the afternoon production shift and supervising staff
  • Rostering and managing team coverage
  • Overseeing machinery – operating, basic troubleshooting, and keeping things running
  • Data entry and scheduling and logging payroll details
  • Teaming up with the Dayshift Supervisor to keep things consistent
  • Keeping an eye on food quality and supervising QC staff
  • Being hands-on where and when needed 
  • Stepping in to cover the Dayshift Supervisor occasionally – so a bit of flexibility is a must

 

What We're Looking For:

  • Experience in food production or manufacturing, ideally in a supervisory role
  • Good with people – you know how to lead a team and keep things running smoothly
  • Mechanically minded – you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty
  • Computer literate
  • Reliable, adaptable, and not afraid to roll up your sleeves
  • Solid understanding of food safety, HACCP, and GMP

 

What You’ll Get:

  • A stable, full-time role with consistent hours + allowances + OT available
  • A supportive and friendly team culture
  • A mix of leadership and hands-on work
  • The chance to be part of a well-established food manufacturing business
