Cleaner/Gardener – 2 Positions
The Cleaner/Gardener positions form part of the essential support team responsible for maintaining the company’s cleanliness standards and ensuring that the surrounding environment remains safe, orderly, and visually appealing for staff, partners, and visitors. These roles are critical in supporting day-to-day operations by creating a conducive working atmosphere, particularly within a manufacturing setting where hygiene and maintenance significantly influence overall efficiency.
Job Description
The Cleaner/Gardener will carry out daily cleaning tasks across allocated facilities to ensure all areas remain tidy, hygienic, and adequately maintained. This includes sweeping, mopping, dusting, wiping surfaces, emptying bins, and ensuring washrooms, corridors, offices, and common areas remain presentable throughout the day. The role requires routine inspection of the cleanliness of designated areas to identify situations that require immediate attention, such as spills, waste build-up, or hazards that may compromise safety.
In addition to indoor cleaning responsibilities, the position includes outdoor maintenance duties. The job holder will care for landscaped areas, lawns, flowerbeds, and garden spaces within the company’s premises. This includes watering plants, trimming shrubs, cutting grass, removing weeds, sweeping outdoor paths, disposing of garden waste, and keeping green areas well-organised and attractive. The role requires regular monitoring of outdoor conditions to ensure timely intervention when plants require additional attention.
The Cleaner/Gardener will also ensure that cleaning tools, gardening equipment, and protective materials are stored safely and kept in good working condition. The role involves alerting the supervisor regarding equipment that requires repair or replacement, as well as requesting replenishment of cleaning agents, gardening supplies, and other consumables. Maintaining proper usage of cleaning chemicals and tools is a key expectation to ensure safety and adherence to environmental and workplace standards.
The individual in this role will comply with safety guidelines, including proper handling of waste, safe operation of gardening tools, and adherence to hygiene protocols that support the company’s broader environmental management systems. The Cleaner/Gardener will assist during special company activities or maintenance projects that require additional cleaning or landscaping support, helping to prepare venues or restore areas once activities conclude.
Other duties include supporting minor errands such as moving light office furniture during cleaning exercises, assisting with simple maintenance tasks when instructed, and ensuring that both indoor and outdoor spaces reflect the company’s commitment to orderliness and professionalism at all times.
Production Supervisor – 2 Positions
The Production Supervisor role is central to the company’s manufacturing operations. Those appointed will oversee production lines, coordinate teams, maintain efficiency, and ensure that all production activities align with established quality, safety, and output standards. The organisation seeks individuals with strong organisational abilities, the capacity to guide teams, and a keen understanding of production processes within a fast-paced FMCG environment.
Job Description
The Production Supervisor will oversee daily production activities, ensuring manufacturing operations run efficiently, safely, and in compliance with defined procedures. This involves monitoring production schedules, assigning tasks to production staff, and ensuring that all workstations operate smoothly to meet daily output targets. The role requires close supervision of line workers to confirm adherence to standard operating procedures and quality requirements.
A core responsibility of the Production Supervisor is to monitor the performance of production machinery and equipment. This includes ensuring equipment is operated correctly, reporting faults or irregularities to the maintenance team, and participating in minor troubleshooting to minimise downtime. The Supervisor will check availability of raw materials, packaging components, and other production inputs before shifts commence and coordinate with relevant departments whenever restocking is necessary.
Quality control oversight forms a major part of this role. The Production Supervisor will work closely with the quality assurance team to ensure products meet the required standards at every stage of production. This includes sampling, reviewing batch documentation, verifying labels, and ensuring packaging matches product specifications. Whenever deviations occur, the Supervisor initiates corrective actions and documents the incident as required.
The role includes enforcing compliance with health, safety, and environmental regulations. The Production Supervisor will educate team members on safe working procedures, monitor the correct use of protective gear, and ensure that all safety hazards are identified and addressed promptly. The Supervisor will participate in safety audits, incident investigations, and implementation of preventive measures.
The Production Supervisor is also responsible for guiding, mentoring, and motivating production staff. This involves conducting on-the-job training, monitoring individual performance, and providing feedback to promote continuous improvement. The role requires clear communication with other departments, including quality assurance, maintenance, engineering, and supply chain, to ensure smooth coordination throughout the production cycle.
Other responsibilities include maintaining accurate production records such as batch reports, shift handover notes, downtime logs, and daily output summaries. The Supervisor will ensure effective housekeeping standards within the production area and promote consistent improvement in operational efficiency.
These positions present an important opportunity for candidates seeking to contribute to a reputable FMCG organisation with a strong regional presence. Each role plays a significant part in supporting the company’s growth, operational efficiency, and long-term competitiveness. Applicants who believe they are suited to any of the positions described above are encouraged to submit their applications as directed.
