• Operational Excellence: Oversee the grading and sorting of fruit, ensuring accurate labelling and compliance with customer specifications.
• Safety & Hygiene: Lead by example with a "Safety First" approach. Ensure all staff wear correct PPE (snoods, hairnets, etc.) and maintain a clean, hazard-free line.
• Problem Solving: Address equipment breakdowns, staffing shortages, or bottlenecks promptly to minimize downtime.
• Record Keeping: Use Harvest Manager to record staff wages and Pack Star for pallet building.
  

What I am Looking For:

• Experience: Proven ability to lead or motivate a team within a production, warehouse, or factory environment.
• Skills: Familiarity with packing line equipment and basic computer skills for reporting.
• Resilience: You should be physically fit (able to lift up to 20kg and stand for periods of time).
