Aegis Rural is conducting a confidential recruitment process on behalf of an established commercial poultry production business in the Pakenham region.
Our client is seeking an experienced
Site Supervisor
to take responsibility for the day-to-day coordination and performance of a busy poultry production site.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows how to run an operational site, lead a small team, set clear priorities and maintain oversight of what is happening across the operation each day. While your primary responsibility will be coordinating people and operations, you will be expected to work alongside the team when required and lead by example.
Previous poultry experience is not essential. We are primarily looking for a capable operational leader with experience in agricultural production, food manufacturing, manufacturing, warehousing, logistics or a similar environment. The technical aspects of poultry production can be learned.
THE ROLE
The Site Supervisor will coordinate the day-to-day operation of the site and ensure people, production, maintenance and operational priorities are effectively managed.
Key responsibilities include:
Leading and coordinating a small operational team
Managing daily staffing requirements, rosters, work allocation and priorities
Providing clear direction to employees and ensuring agreed tasks and actions are followed through
Maintaining oversight of daily production performance and investigating abnormalities or operational issues
Coordinating maintenance requirements and priorities with maintenance personnel
Planning and coordinating periodic shed turnarounds and other major site activities
Supporting the operational team directly during busy periods, staff shortages and major site activities when required
Maintaining high standards of housekeeping, organisation and site presentation
Ensuring equipment, buildings and infrastructure are appropriately cared for




Maintaining workplace safety, biosecurity and animal welfare standards
Identifying operational issues promptly and facilitating appropriate corrective action
Improving site systems, routines, communication and accountability
Providing clear reporting to senior management regarding site performance, priorities, issues and outstanding actions
ABOUT YOU
We are looking for someone who takes genuine ownership of an operation and is comfortable being accountable for its day-to-day performance.
You will ideally have:
Experience supervising or leading a small operational team
Strong organisational and planning skills
The ability to set priorities and provide clear direction to staff
A practical, hands-on approach to problem solving
A hands-on leadership style and willingness to work alongside the team when required
Strong communication and follow-through
The ability to coordinate multiple operational priorities at once
An eye for standards, organisation and site presentation
Experience in agricultural production, manufacturing, food production, warehousing, logistics or another operational setting
Previous poultry or broader agricultural experience would be advantageous but is not essential. Training can be provided in the technical aspects of poultry production.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of the day-to-day operation of an established commercial production site and have a meaningful influence on how the site performs.
Our client is looking for someone who can bring structure, leadership, accountability and consistency to the operation while working closely with senior management.
This is a permanent full-time position based in the Pakenham region. An attractive salary package will be negotiated based on experience.
