Auckland Southern SuburbCirca $200K negFMCG ManufacturerThe company is part of a global multinational with revenue in excess of US$100 billion. The Asia Pacific entity has circa $2 billion in revenue and is highly profitable with a market leading presence in Australia and New Zealand. It has a strong perspective on sustainability and its products assist the global community in meeting a reduction of carbon emissions.
A change in the business dictates the need for a manager to take executive control of the biggest site in New Zealand thus we have been retained to identify a highly driven, successful operations-oriented manager who has controlled the manufacturing and associated activities of a substantial business.
The company manufactures high-volume low-cost products that are delivered against Just In Time programs; quality, service and price are all equally important in this highly competitive industry segment.
The ideal person would have developed into a senior executive in a company where, on your way to Manufacturing Management, you have controlled the strategic and tactical activities of a successful team. In this new position your team consists of circa 130 people who are involved in manufacturing, planning, logistics, safety and maintenance and engineering.
The position will appeal to a modern manager who is creative, strategic by nature and tactical by market demands; what you might term a "fresh thinker" always looking to find alternative approaches to increasing the efficiency, effectiveness and profitability of a business.
This is a senior executive position with control of manufacturing revenue that is in excess of $70 million. People are the main assets the company has thus the training, development, safety and management of a large blue- and white-collar team is paramount. Note you must have managed a large manufacturing operation and words and phrases such as, Lean, Quality Management, Continuous Improvement, Best Practice, ISO etc must be a part of your everyday language at work.
Any formal education you have completed including Management, Competitive Manufacturing, etc would be well regarded as would exposure to SAP.
We expect to see a stable background in a large organisation and those who have changed employers often are best advised to apply elsewhere.
The company is an equal opportunity employer, and suitably qualified individuals are invited to apply in total confidence by sending their resume (6 pages-no pics) to [email protected] If you would like to speak to Harold, call on +******** any time.
Please include the suburb you reside in on your resume.
Interviews will occur in Auckland in the last week of November 2024.
We are unable to assist anyone who resides outside of New Zealand or Australia thus we will not respond to those applications.
