Pre-Op Hygiene Supervisor

Be the reason 50,000+ meals are safe to eat tomorrow.

Every meal that leaves our Youfoodz kitchen starts with you. As our Pre-Op Hygiene Supervisor, you're not just running a cleaning crew — you're the last line of defence before production fires up, the standard-setter who makes everything else possible. If you take pride in a job done right (even when no one's watching), this is your role.

What you'll actually do

Own the night. Lead a tight-knit hygiene team through high-impact shifts, building the kind of culture where people take pride in their work and hold each other to a high standard.

Sign off with confidence. Partner with our QA team to verify pre-op compliance — scheduled cleans, periodic deep-cleans, and everything in between.

Develop your people. Through mentoring, cross-training, and straight-up good communication, you'll build a crew that runs like clockwork even on the toughest nights.

Set the tone before the buzzer. Run daily pre-start meetings that get the team sharp, aligned, and ready to go.

Keep things safe and documented. Manage chemical handling and safety records (via Beakon) so the team goes home in the same condition they arrived.

Solve problems at the root. When something goes wrong, you don't just patch it — you investigate, contribute to RCAs, and push for real process improvements.

What you bring

Hands-on leadership experience in food manufacturing, hospitality, aged care, or any hygiene-critical environment

Solid working knowledge of GMP, sanitation procedures, and chemical safety

The ability to thrive on fortnightly rotating night shifts, including every second weekend (6 pm – 4 am)

The kind of person who thrives here

You're someone who communicates clearly and earns trust quickly — whether that's with your own team, QA, or production. You notice the details others miss. You don't need to be reminded to care, because you already do.

What you’ll get in return…

The chance to have a significant impact in a leading global food technology company

Flexible working arrangements

Egoless environment, constant learning with room for personal growth

Free access to Headspace

Internal learning & development

A diverse and vibrant international environment, with offices in 18 countries
