Leading daily production operations and cross-functional plant teams, overseeing GMP compliance and food safety programme execution, managing production schedules and customer delivery performance, managing plant budget and efficiency metrics, developing supervisory and management staff, and reporting plant performance to senior leadership.
10–15 years of food manufacturing experience with 4–6 years in operations management or plant leadership, demonstrated GMP programme management, strong cross-functional leadership, and a genuine food safety culture orientation. SQF or BRC facility-level management experience is often required.
Food plant managers who have led their facility through a successful third-party audit — SQF, BRC, or GFSI — and can discuss what they built to pass it, not just that they passed it, demonstrate a systems-building capability that compliance-only managers lack.
