Production Manager / Cook 50%

About the job

Production Manager 50% – Soup & Juice Production

Start Date: 1 September Workload: 50% on two fixed working days (Tuesday and Wednesday) Salary: CHF 3,400 gross/month at 50%

For our soup and juice production, we are looking for an experienced and responsible individual to lead our production together with our kitchen team.

We produce artisanally and in larger quantities – depending on the variety, around 180–350 litres of soup per production run with 5-7 varieties. A total of approx. 1800 litres/week. We combine efficient processes with a high standard of quality and food safety.

Your Tasks

• Responsibility for the operational soup and juice production
• Production and coordination of larger production quantities
• Leadership and organisation of our five-person kitchen team
• Personnel and deployment planning
• Ensuring efficient production processes
• Compliance with our quality, hygiene and HACCP standards

Your Profile

You should enjoy taking responsibility while actively participating in production yourself.

Ideally, you bring:

• very good cooking skills and practical experience in the kitchen or food production
• experience in organising larger production quantities
• a good understanding of hygiene, HACCP and professional food production
• organisational skills and a structured working style
• enjoyment in leading and collaborating within a small team
• an independent, reliable and solution-oriented working approach
• good physical fitness, as our production is artisan and many work steps are manual

Your Induction

You will not be thrown in at the deep end: during the first two months, you will work together with our current production manager. You will get to know our recipes, production processes, quality standards and the team.

Subsequently, you will gradually take over responsibility for production.

What to Expect from Us

We are a small company with flat hierarchies and short decision-making paths. For us, it is not only important that production runs smoothly, but also that there is an uncomplicated, respectful interaction with each other.

This position is particularly suitable for someone who enjoys taking responsibility but still wants to work practically and cook.
