The cold storage environment means food safety and health and safety are serious business, so be ready to talk about how you have handled compliance and equipment in past roles.
When you apply, make sure your CV clearly shows your NQF Level 6 qualification and your 3 to 5 years experience. Highlight any leadership moments, even if you were a senior team member rather than a formal supervisor. Also mention the types of equipment you have worked with and any budgeting or reporting you have done.
