Your key responsibilities include:
- Liaise with National Packhouse Operations Manager to organise and conduct the pre-season start-up.
- Be involved in the recruitment and on-site training of packhouse staff
- Plan and monitor the packing of fruit deliveries.
- Determine daily staff numbers and allocate responsibilities.
- Manage and communicate with packhouse supervisors and provide instructions to supervisors and other staff on daily tasks.
- Monitor and improve the day-to-day efficiency of the packhouse in all aspects including staff, raw materials, inventory and operations.
- Manage the delivery of raw materials (e.g. packaging).
- Manage and monitor compliance and status of employee welfare.
- Work with the quality team and monitor compliance with requirements of certified quality systems, customer approved supplier programs, domestic and export market access protocols.
You
To succeed you will need
- Staff management experience and leadership skills
- The ability to work in a fast paced, dynamic environment.
- Be able to work comfortably within a multicultural team.
- Have a calm, positive attitude, good communications skills and willingness to do the job efficiently and effectively.
Ideally you will also have some or all of the following:
- Supervisory experience such as managing a factory and/or a Fruit or Vegetable packhouse.
- Experience operating software (e.g. GP501 or similar) for the sizing of fruit
- Experience operating traceability software (e.g. Freshtrack)
