Goodman Fielder is a leading global food company, and the custodian of a host of iconic Kiwi brands like Meadow Fresh, Puhoi Valley, Molenberg, Natures Fresh and Freya's that generations of New Zealand have grown up with and put in their supermarket trolleys every week.

We might be biased but we believe our team here at Goodman Fielder is an amazing place to work, and a great team to be part of We're driven by our values - We Grow Together, We Keep Things Simple, We Get Stuff Done.

**About the Role**

Quality Bakers Auckland is New Zealand's largest plant bakery manufacturing some of New Zealand's most loved brands such as Vogel's, Freya's, Molenberg, and Natures Fresh. It has 5 plants, running 24/7 to produce 74 different products daily.

We are looking for a Manufacturing Manager to lead our 5 manufacturing plants and become a key member of the Site Leadership Team. You will have overall accountability for the site's people and results, with a particular focus on safety, quality, site culture & engagement, delivery, and cost management.

To make this happen, your responsibilities will include:

- Provide strong leadership to uplift capability and performance of all the plants, focusing on talent management, multi-skilling, development plans and wellbeing of all team members
- Oversight of the delivery of the daily manufacturing plan; managing waste, stock loss, resource management, and reliability
- Identify and deliver CI initiatives through the Production Managers and cross-functionally with HSE, Quality and Maintenance
- Ensure the team is completely focused on producing safe and superior products for our Customers

**About You**

For this role to be a success you will be a strong people leader with a background in the food manufacturing industry; an understanding of Plant Baking would be advantageous but more so the ability to lead from the front is essential.

Skillsets, qualifications and experience we are looking for include:

- Manufacturing leadership experience with demonstrated experience in driving results (versus production targets, waste reduction, cost reduction, DIFOT)
- An understanding of end-to-end value chain and the ability to identify and leverage opportunities to transform and improve
- Experience in leading through others to uplift capability across the site
- Prior experience in Industrial / Plant baking would be advantageous but in the absence of a willingness to learn is essential

**What we can offer**

You will be joining a driven team of professionals who genuinely enjoy working together resulting in a highly collaborative and flexible work environment making delicious cheeses. In return for your passion and success, we will reward you with a competitive remuneration package and help you to achieve personal and professional growth and development.

At Goodman Fielder, we aim to be a destination employer in the food industry where we don't just offer jobs - we offer long-term careers.
