This makes our entire team always hungry to produce world-class outcomes across the customer experience from service, to the quality of our products and A-grade delivery driven by technology.

But it’s not just about being tech-savvy; it’s about being Earth-savvy too. Sustainability isn’t just a trend for us; it’s a way of life. We're all about reducing waste and leaving the planet better than we found it.

And now, the reason you're reading this job ad - we’ve experienced huge growth over the last two years and want you to join us on our continuous success story.

So, if you’re hungry (for both food and success), and passionate about making a difference, then you might just be the missing ingredient we’re looking for!

WHERE ARE WE

Our commercial kitchen is located in the heart of the Sydney CBD, on the corner of Clarence St and King St. There is great access to public transport (trains, buses and tramlines). 

Additionally we can also provide you with a car park if you prefer to drive to work.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Production Team Leader who will help oversee a team of around 20 who freshly make and assemble products like gourmet sandwiches, baguettes, salads, grazing platters and cocktail platters. There is no intensive cooking required for this position.

The role is 3am to 10:30am, Monday to Friday (no weekends!) and will report to our Production Supervisor.

Key Responsibilities

• Recruitment of food production staff.
• Training and mentoring of food production staff to ensure recipe cards, procedures and quality standards are adhered to. 
• Overseeing the production of sandwiches, wraps, baguettes, pastries, salads, grazing platters and cocktail platters.
• Minimum 2+ years of hospitality supervisory experience.
• You will be responsible for ensuring labour and COGS targets are kept within budget. If you do not have experience with this, that is fine, we will provide extensive training on this.
• Remain calm under pressure and the ability to drive a team with speedy production.
• Fastidious about cleanliness.
• Understanding of HACCP controls is preferred but not a must as we can train you on this.

CAREER PROGRESSION

This role is only suited to those who are interested in career progression with a strong interest or track record in managing people. Feedwell is full of high performing industry professionals and you need to be able to honestly apply that label to yourself. This role would not suit someone after more of a short term position.

We will spend a lot of time training you in management and leadership. It’s important that our managers are well rounded with a good understanding of how to recruit and retain people, understanding numbers including key performance indicators, and can help us maintain a great working culture. We are industry leaders in our practices and constantly evolving our process and this role is not for someone who is set in their ways or open to new ways.

You do not necessarily need experience in all these areas as we will provide training, but it’s important that you are interested in these areas of business and career progression. We are growing quickly and it's important to us that our team grows with us.

WHAT’S ON OFFER

• $70,000 plus superannuation full time permanent role. 
• Free CBD secure car parking provided in addition to your salary package.
• Food, food, food! Free food and coffee.
• Innovative culture: You’ll be joining a company that is at the forefront of the food tech industry.
• Mentorship and professional development: Be mentored by the best in the industry.
• Central location: Work in the vibrant Sydney CBD with just a 2 minute walk to Town Hall station.  

We look forward to hearing from you!
