  • Strong understanding of inventory control, FIFO, and batch traceability
  • Experience managing DIFOT, freight performance, and warehouse costs
  • Strong supplier relationship and procurement experience
  • Sound knowledge of WHS and operational compliance
  • Ability to balance operational execution with strategic improvement initiatives
  • A current forklift license with experience

Highly regarded:

  • Experience in food-grade or FMCG manufacturing environments (HACCP / FSSC22000)
  • Exposure to high-volume manufacturing or injection moulding
  • Experience implementing warehouse systems, 5S, or Lean practices
  • Experience managing pallet systems such as CHEP or LOSCAM
  • Continuous improvement or Lean methodology experience

Why join us?
