Location Leader – Mount Albert Facility

Overview

At Alliance Agri-Turf, the Location Leader supports and drives the day-to-day operation at our Mount Albert facility. This is not a traditional location management or "watchdog" position – it is a hands-on people leader who works alongside approximately 6–12 employees (depending on seasonality), earns their respect, builds customer trust and supports the Eastern Region management team. It is a true jack-of-all-trades role: blending, receiving, order taking, phones, customer support, equipment operation, maintenance and repairs may all be part of the day. Full-time, year-round, salaried.

• Lead by Example: Work alongside the team, assisting with fertilizer blending, receiving, loading, customer orders and phone inquiries.
• Operational Flow: Coordinate the flow of people, product and equipment. Identify bottlenecks, solve day-to-day problems and communicate issues to management.
• Safety Leadership: Be a safety champion: identify hazards, reinforce safe work practices and speak up when work is unsafe.
• Equipment & Maintenance: Help with equipment operation, troubleshooting, maintenance and repairs.
• Facility & Inventory: Maintain an organized, clean and safe yard, warehouse and facility. Support inventory accuracy, product handling and loss prevention.
• Customer Relationships: Build positive customer relationships and take ownership of customer concerns.
• Off-Season Productivity: Keep employees productive during quieter periods through maintenance, facility projects, inventory, organization, repairs and seasonal preparation.
• Multi-Site Support: Work from the Lindsay location from time to time based on seasonality, staffing and operational demand.
