The production manager reports to the General Manager and the business owner. All production staff report to the Production Manager.

 

It needs to be noting much of the working time is within the processing areas which are temperature controlled and can be a wet environment. This post would be unsuitable for applicants that do not have a reasonable level if physical fitness or have allergies for fish or shellfish.
