Bread Production Supervisor at Food Concepts Plc – Port Harcourt
Food Concepts Plc is recruiting a full-time Bread Production Supervisor based in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The role sits inside the company’s bread production operations and focuses on keeping daily output on track, maintaining quality and food-safety standards, and leading the production team.
Posted around 6 October 2026. Work arrangement is not stated in the listing. Salary and benefits are not stated.
What the day-to-day work actually looks like
The supervisor is responsible for the smooth running of bread production shifts. That means watching production schedules, adjusting when demand changes or delays appear, and making sure equipment stays operational with minimal downtime. Quality control is a constant duty — products must meet company standards and customer specifications.
You will also manage raw materials and finished goods (handling, storage, inventory levels), track metrics such as output, quality, downtime and material usage, and report those figures plus any operational challenges to senior management. Food-safety compliance (HACCP and good manufacturing practices) is non-negotiable. When equipment fails or quality issues arise, the supervisor coordinates with maintenance and resolves the problem so production can continue.
People management is equally central. The role includes coaching and mentoring the production team, conducting regular meetings, managing shift schedules for peak and off-peak periods, evaluating performance, and enforcing health, safety and hygiene rules. Continuous-improvement work — reducing waste and optimising processes — is expected.
Who this role suits (and who may find it hard)
This position fits someone who already has hands-on production experience, ideally in food manufacturing or FMCG, and is comfortable taking charge of a shift team. You need to be organised enough to track multiple metrics at once and calm under pressure when equipment or quality problems appear. People who enjoy both technical process control and day-to-day team leadership will find the mix natural.
It may be difficult for candidates who prefer purely desk-based work, have never supervised production staff, or are uncomfortable with the physical and hygiene demands of a bakery or food-production environment. The listing requires a minimum of three years in a production industry and at least two years in a similar supervisory role, preferably in food/FMCG.
Official requirements (from the listing)
- Minimum of a university degree or equivalent
- Minimum of 3 years working experience in a production industry
- Minimum of 2 years’ experience in a similar role, especially in the Food Industry / FMCG
- Membership of the Association for Operations Management or any other related professional qualification is an added advantage
Documents required are not stated in the listing.
Practical tips for your CV and interview
- On the CV, quantify production results you have delivered — for example, average daily output achieved, percentage reduction in downtime, or waste reduction figures. Vague statements about “supervising production” are less useful than concrete numbers.
- Highlight any direct experience with HACCP, GMP or other food-safety systems. If you have led audits or implemented corrective actions, state that clearly.
- Show evidence of people management: number of staff supervised, how you handled shift scheduling, training delivered, or performance issues resolved. Interviewers will want concrete examples.
- Be ready to walk through a real production problem you solved — equipment breakdown, quality deviation, or material shortage — and explain the steps you took and the result.
- If you have membership of an operations-management body or relevant short courses, list them; the employer treats this as an advantage.
One honest question to ask yourself before applying: Have I actually supervised a production team in a food or FMCG setting and can I talk about specific metrics and problems I managed, or am I still mainly an individual contributor?
