Most food companies operate on product lines that have a high volume of turnover, but low profits on each item. So, they are operating on small margins and are always seeking to lower costs by streamlining processes or finding alternative ingredients.

As a Manufacturing Manager, you will oversee the day-to-day operations of the plant and be responsible for the maximisation of operational capacity. You will manage the production team and have overall responsibility for all the materials to be used in the process, from raw ingredients and machinery to packaging.

You will be responsible for cost, quality, efficiency, safety and for fulfilling statutory requirements.

This is a great job for someone who likes problem solving, liaising with a wide variety of people and is willing to develop management and business experience.
