Production Manager Food Park Ridge

Some people thrive when the day throws curveballs. They like being the one who figures it out, makes the call, and gets things moving. If that's you, this role might be your perfect fit.

We're a food business in the early stages of something exciting, and we're looking for a resilient, hands-on operator who thrives when the path isn't perfectly paved.

We need someone who can own the floor from the ground up, get a genuine kick out of building something efficient, and take real pride in the quality they produce.

What you'll own Daily production: scheduling, workflow, output, and keeping things moving Food safety and quality: HACCP, GMP, hygiene, allergen control, traceability Your team: rosters, training, accountability, and culture The numbers that matter: waste, yield, labour costs, and inventory Reporting management can truly rely on Equipment, site presentation, stocktake, and raw material oversight.

Who you are You've come from somewhere food is taken seriously: a kitchen, production floor, or small FMCG business You know what valuable looks like and you don't let it slide You have a solid grasp of HACCP, GMP, and food safety — you live it, not just know it You lead people firmly and fairly and get the best out of a team You're straight with management, supportive with your team, and you close the loop You've outgrown a role where someone else was always making the calls You get quiet satisfaction from controlling chaos You want to be part of building something still in its infancy.

What's in it for you Market-market-competitive salary, negotiable on experience The chance to shape how the operation runs, not just maintain it Real ownership of your role and facility performance Immediate start for the right person.
