BRF, one of the biggest food companies in the world with more than 100,000 employees, is hiring a Line Leader in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The role sits between the operators on the line and the production supervisor. You will keep an eye on the productivity of operators and production assistants, help protect quality standards and production yield, support the supervisor in organising the team and the production plan, and step in as supervisor when needed. You will also be responsible for material ordering, safe handling of chemical products, and following food safety, HSE, 5S, GMP, and food defense requirements. A technical diploma is the stated academic background, and BRF says it considers people with disabilities for all its opportunities.

Why This Line Leader Role in Jeddah Stands Out in 2026
Step Into Leadership: A natural route from operator or production assistant toward supervisor responsibilities
Large Global Employer: Build a production career inside one of the world’s biggest food companies
Safety and Quality at the Core: HACCP, HSE, 5S, GMP, and food defense are part of the daily job
Technical Diploma Route: The academic requirement is a technical diploma, which opens the door for hands-on people
Position Overview
The Line Leader works alongside the production supervisor and the people on the line. Day to day, you control the productivity of the operators and production assistants and help control the productivity of the lines. You support the supervisor in guaranteeing quality standards, check production yield and act to protect it, and help organise the team and the production plan so scheduling requirements are met. If the supervisor is absent, you substitute for them. When something goes wrong, you escalate process non-conformances and any safety, food safety, or quality issues to the supervisor. You also handle material ordering and make sure chemical products are handled properly. On top of the production work, you comply with HACCP and its prerequisites, HSE rules, 5S, Good Manufacturing Practice, and Food Defense requirements, and you follow the BRF Sustainability Policy through your daily routines. It suits a hands-on person who is ready to lead a small team and keep a line running safely and steadily.
Why This Role Matters: A production line only runs well when someone is watching the details in real time: who is on which station, whether yield is slipping, whether a quality issue is about to become a batch problem, whether the next material has been ordered. The line leader is that person. Because the line leader also covers for the supervisor, the line does not lose direction when the supervisor is away. And because the role escalates safety and food safety concerns quickly, small problems do not grow. In a large food operation, steady line leadership means fewer stoppages, better yield, safer work, and consistent products reaching customers.
