• Record Keeping & Reporting: Ensure accurate and timely data entry into our ERP system. Prepare detailed reports on flock status, performance metrics, and operational activities for management.
• Maintenance Coordination: Work closely with the Engineering team to schedule preventive maintenance, address breakdowns efficiently, and ensure all farm equipment and facilities are in optimal working order.
• Team Leadership & Training: Manage, train, and motivate farm workers. Foster a culture of safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
