Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand Fosterra Full time

ABOUT THE COMPANY


Starting as a firewood supply business 40 years ago, it has evolved to offer four key product lines: City Firewood, Solid Biofuels, City Gardens, and Homegrown BBQ Products.

City Energy pride themselves on 100% utilisation of raw material and working towards zero waste creation.

ABOUT THE ROLE
An experienced second-generation Managing Director (MD), and qualified Mechanical Engineer, is leading the vision.

A strategically positioned new site, has recently been acquired and is currently being developed into a state-of-the-art solid biofuels production and distribution facility.

This new position will be charged with guiding production and logistics functions, to set and meet targets, lead process reviews and quality systems development towards increasing production, enabling production of new product offerings, and improving efficiency across the operation.

The role will allow the MD to step away from the day to day running of the business to concentrate on achieving the vision.


The Operations Manager will be responsible for leading an efficient and effective operation across two sites including Production, the Kiln, Maintenance, Logistics, and Inventory Control while supporting Retail and Purchasing Activities.

Driving a continuous process improvement focus, in an environmentally sustainable way, is also an integral part of this new role.

City Energy has a values-based culture, and the appointee needs to contribute strongly to this by building relationships based on trust and respect with a well-regarded team, many of whom, have worked for the business for some years.

The leadership team will be committed to supporting the appointee to be successful in return for their integrity, ability, effort, and a can-do attitude.


YOU


Joining the company during this exciting expansionary phase presents a real opportunity for someone who is results driven and solutions focused.

You need to be an evidence-based decision maker who plans, leads by example, and who can inspire a team to put in their best effort every day.

To recap, enthusiasm and confidence in your ability, gained from a successful career to date, will enable you to come up to speed and add value from day one, to deliver the following:

  • Continuing and strengthening City Energy's commitment to the environment, Health and Safety compliance and production of quality products.
  • Demonstrated ability and a successful track record of recognising issues and improvement opportunities, questioning the status quo and following up with drive and initiative to convert and implement observations into effective changes.
  • Strong values based operational leadership and management that is evidence based and results driven with your experience preferably gained from working in high compliance production and or manufacturing settings.
  • Achievement of results and targets from considered planning and informed decisions making.
  • Adding to your track record of results and keen interest in utilising technology to drive and monitor production volume increases and quality standards together with an ability to interpret data to inform plant needs and identify efficiency gains.
  • Demonstrated practical plant and equipment/mechanical interest and knowledge is considered advantageous.


If you believe you have the transferable skills, experience, and drive, then call Richard Foster on for a confidential discussion.
