  • Manage operating costs, monitor labour, overhead, material loss, and utilities; deliver cost-saving initiatives without compromising safety or quality.
  • Build organisational capability across the factory; set clear KPIs, performance expectations, and development plans for direct reports, and develop succession within the operation.
Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Food Science, Industrial Management, Manufacturing, or a related discipline.
  • Minimum ten years of experience in food manufacturing operations, with at least five years in a senior plant leadership or factory management role.
  • Demonstrable track record managing multi-department factory operations within the food sector.
  • Strong working knowledge of food safety and manufacturing compliance standards, including GMP, HACCP, and FSSC 22000.

  • Strong capability in process mapping, workflow design, and SOP development.
  • Evidence of having transitioned a factory from manual, experience-led operations into a more structured, digitally supported environment.
  • Credible floor presence; the temperament to lead from inside the operation, not just from the office.
