Production Manager

About us

Advanced Flavors & Fragrances is an independent, Singapore-based flavour house supplying customers across the Asia-Pacific.

The role

We are looking for a hands-on Production Manager to run our Senoko site end to end. This is a compact, busy operation with a lean team, so you will lead from the floor: running production, keeping the site safe and well maintained, and making sure we ship on time and to spec. You own both sides of the site, the making of product and the place it is made in, and you keep the whole operation running smoothly as we grow.

What you'll do

• Plan and run daily production across compounding, blending, weighing, and filling, and get hands-on with the work when needed.

• Keep output, quality, and on-time delivery on track, and sort out problems on the floor as they come up.

• Maintain the site's FSSC 22000 certification: batch integrity, traceability, allergen and contamination control, and audit readiness.

• Own workplace safety and health and keep our bizSAFE certification in good standing, with proper risk assessments and safe chemical handling.

• Run the facility: production equipment, utilities, and site services, keeping everything working through preventive maintenance and quick fixes.

• Manage all servicing schedules, vendors, and compliance records for regulated systems (fire, electrical, and any pressure or lifting equipment), which are serviced by licensed contractors.

• Coordinate with building management on base-building matters, and manage external contractors for the rest.

• Manage raw material and finished-goods stock, accuracy, and rotation, and keep waste and cost in check.

• Lead and develop a team, setting clear standards and working alongside them.

• Improve how the site runs through practical fixes and disciplined SOPs.

What you'll bring

• Around 3-5 years running production or a manufacturing site in food, flavour, or related manufacturing, including some experience leading a team.

• Practical knowledge of food-safety and quality systems such as FSSC 22000, HACCP, and GMP.

• A good grasp of workplace safety and site maintenance in a factory. WSH risk-management training (bizSAFE RM champion course or a WSQ equivalent) is an advantage.

• Comfortable being hands-on in a small operation and wearing several hats.

• Reliable, level-headed, and trustworthy with co

• A genuine, hands-on leadership role with real ownership of a growing site in an independent flavour house.
