Discover Your Next Role
As Operations Superintendent, you'll take charge of our cane crushing and sugar recovery operations—making sure everything runs smoothly, efficiently, and in line with annual factory output targets. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll monitor performance, implement improvements, and help drive the mill towards its operational goals.

The Burdekin region offers a fantastic lifestyle with a warm climate, beautiful beaches and a range of recreational activities, making it a great place to live and work.

Your Role in Action

  • Support and Guide Shift Teams: Coordinate shift operations, ensuring teams are skilled, engaged, and working to safety and operational standards.
  • Deliver on the Plan: Contribute to operational planning and provide clear leadership to keep teams aligned with site goals and continuous improvement.

  • Work Across Teams to Lift Equipment Performance: Partner with engineering and maintenance teams to overcome technical challenges and get the most out of your plant.
