Based in Paddock Wood and reporting to the Packaging Manager, we are looking for a hands-on Packaging Team Leader to support the daily packaging operation for FreshPLUS and Thanet Earth Paddock Wood.
You will receive, check, and record incoming packaging in the ERP system, maintain stock sheets and month-end counts, and keep stock at the right levels to support the pack house and overseas packers.
Using appropriate machinery, you will accurately pick packaging against requisitions, re-check loads and coordinate safe transport to the main site. You will also organise the store by product type and supervise stock rotation and incoming deliveries.
