• Take full responsibility for the total cost and profit of both factories.

• Make and manage the yearly budget for factory operations, equipment buying, and maintenance (OPEX & CAPEX).

• Review daily/weekly/monthly cost reports and find ways to fix any over-budget issues.

2. Daily Production & Plant Operations

• Lead and control daily operations across 2 factories to hit targets on time (volume, quality, and delivery).

• Manage the raw material input and production schedule based on the harvesting seasons.

• Work closely with the Maintenance team to keep machines running smoothly and reduce breakdown time.

• Apply Lean manufacturing or Continuous Improvement tools to make the production lines faster and cleaner.

3. Factory Standards, Food Safety & Compliance

• Make sure both plants strictly follow food safety rules (ISO, HACCP, FSSC 22000, Halal, etc.).

• Maintain high standards for Workplace Safety (EHS) to ensure zero accidents.

• Welcome and work with government inspectors, customer auditors, and group auditors.

4. Team Leadership

• Direct and manage the plant management team (Production, QC, Maintenance, Warehouse, HSE, HR).

• Train, motivate, and build a strong team spirit on the shop floor.

• Evaluate team performance and solve any conflict or problem between departments quickly.

Others:

• Any other responsibilities that may be assigned from time to time by the CEO (AIG).

Yêu cầu công việc

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Food Technology, Agronomy, Industrial Management, Engineering, or Business.

• Experience: At least 5–7 years of experience as a Plant Manager or Plant Director. Experience managing more than 1 factory is a big plus.

• Industry: Must have experience in Agriculture, Food Processing, or FMCG (Food) manufacturing.

• Excellent problem-solving skills under pressure.

• Good with Numbers: Clear understanding of factory costs, budgeting, and how to read a basic profit/loss report.

• Technical Knowledge: Good understanding of agri-product processing, drying, preservation, and packaging machinery.
