Your Role in Carbery's Success
To be successful as a Shift Manager, you must be able to manage a team of people and ensure that all shift duties are performed correctly. This means holding reporting team members accountable to meet the specified standards. You also need a high level of adaptability and willingness to multi‑task, while responding to emerging issues and challenges in all areas of the cheese manufacturing process, whether in relation to technical areas or in relation to people management. Success also requires positive, pro‑active teamwork with Shift Manager colleagues to share information, initiatives and ensure collaboration across and between shifts. The goal is to ensure that the shift delivers product of maximum quality in a safe and cost‑conscious manner.
