We are looking for a Team Manager who is experienced with providing strong operations leadership to a team of frontline workers, whilst developing skillsets in the team and supporting other site leaders. You'd manage and coordinate all processes and activities during the shift to deliver outstanding customer service.
Working morning shift on a Wednesday - Saturday: 13:30 - 00:00 roster, this is a full-time opportunity based at our Laverton site. Our sites are a chiller and freezer environment; therefore, you must be comfortable working in cold conditions.

In this role, you will engage with a variety of operations and corporate staff and therefore will be expected to communicate appropriately with staff at all levels and work as a team player. It will suit someone who has an exceptional ability to motivate and inspire a team and can manage their time and conflicting priorities effectively. The role requires the individual to be a self-starter and be able to work independently.
