A newly created Loadout Supervisor role has opened up at a large-scale food processing facility, driven by growth in the loadout function rather than a replacement hire. You'll join an established leadership team, reporting to the Loadout Manager, and take ownership of a key part of the site's daily operation.
This is a floor-based leadership role - you'll be out with your team for the bulk of the shift, driving performance and keeping product moving.
Roster: Fixed 6:00am–5:00pm shift, 6-on/2-off rotating roster (alternating between 4-day and 2-day work weeks)
About the role
Leading a large frontline team, you'll be responsible for the smooth flow of product through the loadout process - coordinating frozen, chilled and offal product movement, managing cold chain and freezer capacity, and ensuring production-readiness ahead of each shift. You'll work closely with Production Supervisors on labour coordination, coach your team day-to-day, and take ownership of KPIs and downtime performance.
Key responsibilities
- Manage product flow across frozen, chilled and offal lines
- Coordinate cold chain and freezer capacity planning
- Ensure systems and equipment are production-ready ahead of each shift
- Coordinate labour with other frontline supervisors
- Provide hands-on shift coaching and team leadership
- Own KPI performance and drive downtime minimisation
- Uphold food safety and WHS compliance across the shift
You're an experienced frontline leader who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume operation. You bring strong warehousing experience and are confident leading a large team through a physically demanding, structured environment.
You will ideally have:
- Solid warehousing experience essential; food or FMCG warehousing highly regarded
- Meat or protein processing background preferred but not essential - full training provided
- Proven supervisory or team leadership experience, ideally leading larger teams
- A safety-first mindset; food safety/compliance knowledge can be developed on the job
- Willingness to work a fixed early-morning, 6-on/2-off rotating roster
- Newly created leadership role with genuine scope to shape the function
- Join a well-established, high-volume operation
- Structured rotating roster with regular RDOs built in
- Strong support from an experienced leadership team
