Key Responsibilities

Safety, Health & Wellbeing — our first priority

- Lead by example in a zero-injury culture; complete daily safety walks, near-miss reporting, and behavioral observations.
- Ensure the team follows all occupational health & safety standards, including lock-out/tag-out and personal-safety procedures.
- Partner on incident investigations and drive corrective actions to closure.

Quality & Food Safety

- Own department readiness for internal and external audits (e.g., AIB / FSSC surveillance audits).
- Coach the team so quality checks and hold-and-release disciplines are routine.

People Leadership & Engagement

- Lead, coach, and develop a team of hourly associates and front-line leaders across shifts, building capability through clear expectations, regular feedback, training, and effective employee relations.

- Run daily direction-setting huddles, crewing/staffing, and performance and development conversations that help the team prioritize,



solve problems, and deliver results with urgency.
- Build an inclusive, high-engagement environment where employees feel supported, challenged, recognized, and encouraged to bring forward ideas for improvement.
- Drive change through people by communicating clearly, bringing others along, minimizing people impact, and helping teams adapt to current processes, priorities, and ways of working.
- Partner with HR, Labour Relations, and site leadership to support hiring, onboarding, engagement, recognition, development planning, and fair administration of collective agreements where applicable.

Operational Execution & Service

- Manage crewing, changeovers, and shift hand-offs to meet service and cost commitments.
- Use plant systems and scorecards to monitor KPIs and respond in real time.

Continuous Improvement & Cost

- Apply Lean / production-system tools (5S, standard work, root-cause problem solving) to eliminate loss.
- Own department cost drivers — labour, waste, yield, and productivity.
- Lead or contribute to continuous-improvement projects that advance safety, quality, throughput, and cost.
