Production Supervisor / 2IC
Location:
Kearney Spring
We're a family-run business based in beautiful Toowoomba, passionate about producing extraordinary Australian meat snacks.
Our business is built on two things — great meat and excellent people.
We're a small but growing operation, and as we scale we need someone experienced enough to help establish the systems and processes that'll carry us through that growth — not just step into a role that's already fully mapped out.
This is a hands-on role.
You'll be physically involved in production alongside the team every day — not just directing from the sidelines — while working closely with the Manager to keep the floor running smoothly, maintain quality, and hit output targets.
Key Responsibilities
Working hands-on in production — cutting, trimming, spicing, marinating, packaging, and dispatch — alongside the team
Supervising day-to-day production activities and coordinating the team's workflow
Working closely with the Manager to help establish and refine production systems, processes, and checklists as the business grows
Ensuring production schedules and dispatch deadlines are met
Monitoring product yield, quality, and consistency, and addressing issues on the spot
Overseeing food safety, hygiene, and workplace health & safety compliance on the floor
Managing stock levels of raw materials and packaging, flagging shortages early
Training, mentoring, and rostering junior production staff
Acting as the main point of contact on the floor in the Manager's absence




Maintaining accurate production records and reporting on output, waste, and stock
Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and protect margins
What We're Looking For
Solid, hands-on experience in food production, manufacturing, or meat processing, ideally in a leadership or senior hand role
Comfortable working in an environment where not everything is fully systemised yet — someone who can help build structure, not just follow it
Happy to be on the floor doing the physical work, not just managing from a distance
Confident leading and coordinating a small team
Strong attention to detail and a genuine commitment to product quality
Comfortable making decisions and solving problems independently
Reliable, punctual, and able to work efficiently under pressure
Comfortable working in a cool-room or meat-processing environment
Physically fit, with the ability to stand for long periods and lift up to 20 kg
Current Australian driver's licence (essential)
Food safety certification (e.g. HACCP or similar) highly regarded but not essential
What We Offer
Positive team atmosphere — we're a small, close-knit crew, not a big factory line
Supportive, family-friendly work culture
Genuine opportunity to grow into a leadership role — and shape how the business runs — as it scales
On-the-job training and support
Staff discounts on our premium meat snacks
Pay: $60,****** – $104,****** per year
Work Location: In person
