About the Role

We’re looking for a hands on Night Shift Supervisor to oversee our sanitation operations at our West Gosford production facility. You’ll coordinate and supervise contract cleaning personnel, ensuring production areas and equipment are dismantled, cleaned, inspected and reassembled to the required hygiene and food safety standards.

You’ll play an important role in ensuring the site is ready for production each day, completing pre-operational inspections, hygiene verification and basic equipment maintenance. Working closely with the production and maintenance teams, you’ll also provide a clear handover on any outstanding hygiene, housekeeping, maintenance or equipment issues.

- Identify and escalate hygiene, food safety, quality, machinery and maintenance concerns that could impact production readiness.
- Coordinate final production setup and provide an effective handover to the day production team, clearly communicating outstanding issues.

About You

You’ll be a practical, hands-on leader who understands the importance of hygiene, food safety and attention to detail within a production environment. You’re confident supervising and guiding others while maintaining clear expectations around safety, quality and performance.

You’ll also be comfortable working around production machinery and equipment, undertaking basic maintenance tasks and identifying potential faults or hazards. Most importantly, you’ll be organised and dependable,



with the ability to keep overnight activities on track and ensure the site is ready for a smooth production start-up.

You Will Bring

- Strong knowledge of cleaning procedures, hygiene verification and chemical use within a production environment.
- The ability to lead, train and motivate cleaning personnel while maintaining high safety and performance standards.
- Practical capability in basic machinery and equipment maintenance, servicing and inspections.
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to identify hygiene issues, equipment defects, hazards and maintenance requirements.
- Clear communication, organisation and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced workplace.
