Role Summary

This is a practical, site-based leadership position where you will oversee the day-to-day and weekly priorities of the site and guide onsite team members. The role requires ensuring staff are trained and competent across key operational areas such as harvest receivals, grain classification, stack construction, tarping, site cleanliness, grain outturn, road and rail activities, and general bunker operations. Work must be carried out safely while keeping quality and cost controls in focus.

The role includes a competitive salary package, performance incentive bonus, and additional benefits associated with working with local growers and a global business.
