**ob description**

**Job description**

Pie in the Sky is an artisanal industrial bakery that prides itself in superior quality of products and a high rate of order fulfillment to customers.

We have been fortunate that the market rewards our efforts with high demand and subsequent growth. This means that we will enhance the sophistication of our plant, process and staff to enable us to effectively deal with the complexities of significant growth.

Bakery products are an exciting sector within the Food Industry offering interesting jobs and enabling socio-economically aware staff to be part of the food supply chain and take pride in that within a progressive company aspiring to high work standards.

We are now looking for:
**Production Shift Supervisors (Operations Supervisor)**

A shift consists of about 50 or more staff members operating various work stations within the production flow of rolls, bread and related products. The supervisor’s role is to organise, coordinate, direct, monitor, and guide the production flow as per production plan(s), and within the context of food safety, quality, efficiency benchmarks and effective plant/ equipment use.

The following KPAs are to be satisfied by the successful incumbent:
1. Production Plan Interpretation Effectiveness: Translating plans into production

2. Operational Production Effectiveness: Directing, guiding and coordinating flow

3. Use and State of Operations/ Production Plant & Equipment: Using & looking after plan and equipment with due consideration of impact

4. Quality Compliance & Consistency: Maintaining quality parameters for superior products

5. Food Safety Compliance & Consistency: Ensuring safe production environment management

6. Cost & Use of Materials Control Effectiveness: Ensuring optimal use of resources

7. Supervision/Staff Guidance Effectiveness: Creating a constructive and engaged work environment

8. Admin & Reporting Compliance: Ensuring administrative integrity in production processes

This requires both considerable production and baking process understanding, and a keen ability to learn and acquire in-depth understanding from a sound base of overall production process understanding.

We want to increasingly build a learning organisation, where all staff take ownership for their roles and become experts in their role/career path. It is thus important that the supervisor can add value to staff confidence and development.

**We will also consider **the following background:
3 month formal production of operations certificate/diploma, linked with at least 5 years production environment experience, with 2 years in a significant supervisory role, preferably in food production.

Someone with no formal qualification would require at least 8 years’ experience in a production environment, of which 3 years should have been in a significant team leader/supervisory role in a professional manufacturing environment preferably in the food industry.

We are placing particular emphasis on the successful incumbent displaying:

- A questioning analytical approach to problems and situations
- A constructive approach to enabling others in their work
- Personally disciplined and dedicated
- Willing and wanting to achieve in positive ways
- Confident in expressing ideas, views and opinions
- Self-driven to learn and grasp, proactive in considering actions and consequences
- Committed and solutions oriented

We only want your CV and Cover letter at this stage, any added documentation will be required at interview stage which we will then ask for.
