Production Supervisor – Food Manufacturing

Koshi Sushi , Sunshine West

Lead from the floor. Build a great team. Make a difference.

We're looking for a hands‑on Production Supervisor to join our team and take a key role in safe, efficient and high‑quality food production at our Sunshine West facility.

Great hours — 7:00am to 3:30pm, Monday to Friday — with a secure, growing national manufacturer and a great team culture.

Who Are We?

'Supply authentic, fresh Asian food for Australians at home, and on-the-go'

Koshi Sushi is an Australian chilled and frozen food manufacturer specialising in authentic Japanese and Asian cuisine. Founded in 1998, recent investment has seen expansion of new, high-care facilities providing the Australian market with a national supply solution across sushi and dumplings. Koshi Sushi now operates across 5 facilities in major Australian states, supplying major supermarkets, petrol & convenience, and foodservice industries with private-label and proprietary 'Koshi Sushi' branded products.

About the Role

Reporting to the Production Manager, this is a hands‑on supervisory role focused on keeping the production floor running safely, compliantly, and efficiently every day.

Key responsibilities include:

- Supervising the production team on the floor — directing workflow, monitoring output, and leading by example
- Ensuring all food safety and quality documentation (SQF) is completed accurately and on time
- Maintaining food safety standards and GMP compliance across the shift




- Supporting the Production Manager with daily production coordination
- Assisting with raw material and packaging ordering
- Supporting inbound goods receiving and outbound freight coordination
- Supporting induction and on‑the‑job training of production staff
- Identifying and escalating any production, safety, or quality issues promptly

Full training will be provided — we're looking for the right person, not the right resume.

About You

- Experience supervising a team in a food production environment OR a Commercial Cookery qualification with experience managing or supervising staff in a large, busy kitchen
- Reliable, organised, and comfortable working to daily production schedules
- Hands‑on and practical — this is a floor role, not a desk job
- A team player who takes pride in their work and supports the people around them
- Familiarity with food safety documentation (SQF or HACCP) is an advantage but not essential — we'll train the right candidate
- English fluency beneficial. We're a diverse workplace and are happy to work with the right candidate where English is a developing skill

Why Work with Us?

- Great hours — 7:00am to 3:30pm, Monday to Friday
- Friendly, supportive team and a positive workplace culture
- Stable, national business with strong retail and foodservice customers
- Full training provided
- Real opportunity to grow within a fast-moving food manufacturing business
