Step into your next leadership role with Bunge! We’re looking for an enthusiastic and hands-on Assistant Supervisor to help lead our Ardrossan operations. If you're passionate about agriculture, safety, people, and problem-solving—this could be your next big move.
You’ll be part of a business that connects local growers to global markets while shaping the future of food, fuel, and feed. With our recent merger with Viterra, there’s never been a more exciting time to be part of Bunge’s transformation and growth.
About the role
As the Assistant Supervisor at Ardrossan, you’ll be a key leader helping to drive the success of one of our essential grain-handling terminals on the Yorke Peninsula. This role blends hands-on operational work with strategic coordination and team leadership—making it ideal for someone who enjoys variety, challenge, and real-world impact.
You’ll work closely with the Supervisor to lead a diverse team of permanent and seasonal employees. From overseeing grain receival and storage during the peak of harvest, to managing outloading logistics and grain quality throughout the year, you’ll be involved in every aspect of the supply chain.
This is a role where you’ll be expected to lead from the front. Whether you’re mentoring a seasonal worker or stepping in to help with a technical issue, your influence will shape both the culture and performance of the Ardrossan site.
Duties
- Lead and supervise daily operations across the Ardrossan terminal, ensuring all grain receival, storage, outloading activities and ship loading are carried out safely, efficiently, and to a high standard.
- Support the Supervisor in planning and delivering operational targets, including logistics coordination and workforce planning.
- Coach and mentor a team of permanent and seasonal staff, promoting a culture of safety, accountability, and high performance.
- Collaborate with key stakeholders including growers, carriers, contractors, and internal teams to ensure smooth and professional service delivery.
- Champion safety on site by conducting checks, reporting hazards, supporting investigations, and maintaining compliance with Bunge’s safety policies.
- Operate and oversee grain-handling equipment, support preventative maintenance, and escalate mechanical or infrastructure issues as needed.
- Assist with planning for harvest operations, including site preparation, intake coordination, staff training, and storage capacity management.
- Contribute to continuous improvement by maintaining site records, participating in audits, and sharing insights to drive performance and efficiency.
- Assist in initiatives, sharing ideas, participating in audits and improvement projects, and occasionally travelling to provide support.
About you
- Proven leadership experience in operations, ideally within grain handling, logistics, agriculture, or a similar industry.
- Strong focus on safety, compliance, and operational best practices.
- Hands-on, practical approach with the ability to lead by example.
- Effective communicator with strong interpersonal skills to manage teams and build relationships.
- Skilled in planning, coordinating, and prioritising tasks in a dynamic, seasonal environment.
- Confident problem-solver with sound decision-making abilities.
