What You'll Need

• Experience in a packhouse, fresh produce, or fast‑paced food manufacturing environment.
• Strong people‑management skills with confidence leading large, multicultural teams.
• A hands‑on approach, someone who leads from the front.
• Proactive mindset with eagerness to learn and take on new challenges.
• Ability to stay organised and calm in high‑volume seasonal peaks.
• Experience with machinery such as Proseal is a bonus.
