The Roles
We are currently seeking packhouse supervisors who will be responsible for overseeing teams and assisting with sections of the the day to day operations of sorting, grading, and packing fruit in preparation for transport for the upcoming harvest season.
Expect to work 5-6 days a week, subject to harvest schedule and weather, so once you're into it, there'll be plenty to keep you occupied.
The available roles are:
* Packhouse Manager
* Floor Supervisor
* Quality Supervisor
* Field Supervisor
Technical training for all roles is provided, but you will need to have had some experience in supervising teams. Reporting to the Packhouse Manager, all roles involve:
* Being trained, and training others
* Accuracy and diligence
* Some administrative tasks
* Reviewing, reporting and planning
* Being a hands-on team member
* Liaising with others to share information and coordinate activities
The Seasons
The roles start with the start of harvest, and finish when it is over. The local harvest seasons are typically:
* Katherine - early September through to December
* Townsville / Ayr - November to end December
* Mareeba - mid November to mid April
If you are available for some times and locations, but not others, that's fine. There is some overlap, but if your preference is to start in Katherine and then switch over to Queensland, that is ideal. That way you can choose to work at one or more of those locations, as you prefer. If you find that you like it and want to return for a few seasons in one or more locations, that's great too
You
To succeed you will need
* Staff supervision experience and interpersonal skills
* To love working in a busy environment with lots to think about and do.
* To work comfortably and harmoniously within a multicultural team.
* A proactive approach to learning, supporting and guiding the people around you
* A calm, positive attitude, good communications skills and willingness to do the job efficiently and effectively.
Ideally you will have worked in a similar environment before, but it is not necessary so long as you are keen to learn, responsible, and happy working at a fast pace with lots going on around you.
