Job description

Blue Water Products Ltd – Dunedin, South Island

Lead the Craft at Origin Foods – Production Supervisor (Day Shift)

At Origin Foods , flavour is our craft and quality is our promise. From rich pestos and slow‑cooked sauces to premium bacon, smallgoods, and gourmet proteins — we take pride in transforming honest ingredients into exceptional food.

We’re part of Blue Water Products Ltd , a proudly New Zealand‑owned business supplying supermarkets and hospitality customers with authentic, handcrafted foods.

Right now, we’re looking for a Production Supervisor to lead our day‑shift team at our Dunedin production facility. This is a permanent, full‑time role (Monday to Friday, 7 : 30 / 8 : 00 am starts), guiding a motivated crew across multiple product lines in a fast‑paced, hands‑on environment.

About the Role

As Production Supervisor, you’ll be on the floor — leading by example, coordinating workflow, and keeping standards high. You’ll oversee daily operations across sauces, pestos, cured meats and gourmet proteins, ensuring efficiency, consistency, and food‑safety excellence.

You’ll work closely with our Production and Dispatch teams to keep things running smoothly — coaching your crew, driving continuous improvement, and making sure every batch that leaves our facility meets Origin quality.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and support your production team through daily manufacturing schedules.
  • Maintain workflow across multiple product lines while meeting production targets.
  • Ensure compliance with HACCP, GMP and Food Control Plan standards.
  • Drive a safe, clean and efficient workplace with zero compromise on quality.
  • Collaborate with QA, Maintenance and Logistics for smooth coordination.
  • Champion training, teamwork, and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Bring

  • Previous experience as a Production Supervisor, Shift Leader, or similar in food manufacturing.
  • Strong understanding of food‑safety, compliance and quality systems.
  • Excellent communication, organisation and problem‑solving skills.
  • A hands‑on, proactive approach — calm under pressure, proud of your work.
  • A positive leadership style that motivates and builds trust in your team.
  • Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a NZ‑owned business making premium, innovative food.
  • Competitive pay + supportive, down‑to‑earth culture.
  • Room to grow — we value initiative, ideas, and craftsmanship.
  • How to Apply

    If you’re ready to lead the craft and make your mark in NZ food manufacturing, we want to hear from you.

    Apply now with your CV and a brief cover letter telling us about your experience and what drives you to lead great food production.
