Packaging Team Leader

Dreaming big is in our DNA. It’s who we are as a company. It’s our culture. It’s our heritage. And more than ever, it’s our future. A future where we’re always looking forward. Always serving up new ways to meet life’s moments. A future where we keep dreaming bigger. We look for people with passion, talent, and curiosity, and provide them with the teammates, resources and opportunities to unleash their full potential.

The power we create together – when we combine your strengths with ours – is unstoppable. Are you ready to join a team that dreams as big as you do?

Safety & Environmental Leadership Outcome:
Everyone goes home safe; the workplace is audit‑ready at all times. Own and enforce SHE standards, PPE compliance, SAM (Safety Access to Machines), LOTOTO, Permit‑to‑Work (PTW), machine guarding, and safe work procedures. Conduct safety observations, toolbox talks, risk assessments, and layered audits; correct deviations immediately. Ensure incident and near‑miss reporting, investigation, and close‑out with effective corrective and preventive actions. Maintain 5S/housekeeping and ensure safe isolations during maintenance or breakdowns.

Proactively manage environmental compliance (spills, waste streams, energy/water discipline) with zero non‑compliances as the target.

Quality Assurance & Process Control Outcome:
Right‑first‑time product, zero consumer risk, stable processes. Ensure all process and product checks are completed at prescribed frequency and properly recorded (SPC charts, MES / VPO systems). Verify and trend quality data; respond early to drift; trigger reaction plans; contain, correct, and elevate per standards. Lead/trigger QFR, 5 Why, and Abnormality Report events according to defined triggers; ensure actions are assigned, closed, and verified for effectiveness.

Safeguard traceability, material and batch control, and non‑conformance management. Partner with Quality Lab for escalations; complete start‑up and post‑maintenance quality verifications.

Cost & Resource Management Outcome:
Deliver the plan within budget, reducing losses and waste. Manage and track line losses (speed, minor stops, breakdowns, rework, start‑up losses, material waste) and drive loss elimination using VPO tools. Control material usage (caps, closures, labels, film, pallets, glue), GLY/OSE, utilities, and scrap; uphold FEFO/traceability practices. Optimize manpower deployment, overtime, and planned activities (cleaning days, maintenance days) to minimize cost per hectolitre.

Apply basic financial discipline: adherence to budgets, approval matrices, and accurate administrative records.

Operations & Production Management Outcome:
Plan attainment through stable, reliable, and efficient operations. Interpret and execute the daily/weekly production plan (changeovers); balance resources against SKU mix and constraints; coordinate with Planning and Logistics. Monitor OSE (Availability, Performance, Quality) in real time; act on losses and abnormalities; call in specialist resources when triggers are met. Ensure the team completes Autonomous Operations steps (cleaning, inspection, lubrication, tightening, basic adjustments);

validate defect tagging and closure. Support artisans during breakdowns: safe stop, initial troubleshooting, fault isolation, documentation, and post‑repair validation (ramp‑up, checks, early loss detection). Operate equipment when needed to protect the schedule and coach correct standards on the floor. Ensure robust shift handover (leader‑to‑leader and operator‑to‑operator): machine status, quality status, defects, material constraints, planned interventions. Ensure compliance with SOPs, work instructions, VPO standards audits, and documentation requirements.

Complete accurate end‑of‑shift reports (results, losses, quality, materials, safety, 5S); ensure robust leader handover.

Leadership & People Development Outcome: A motivated, autonomous team that can self‑manage and solve problems. Lead people towards a shared dream; communicate vision, purpose, and standards clearly; celebrate successes visibly and often. Build team autonomy: enable operators to detect,…
