Dairy Production Supervisor Position Overview
The Dairy Production Supervisor role is the day-to-day leadership point for production at Baladna Food Industries in Qatar. You’ll be responsible for supervising dairy production activities across the shift, making sure the team hits its output targets while keeping product quality, food safety, and efficiency at the level the business expects. Much of the work focuses on the production floor, monitoring processing and production of fresh and UHT dairy products, tracking production parameters and equipment performance, and stepping in quickly when something drifts out of specification. Your team is central to that effort. You’ll lead, guide, and support production operators, setting clear expectations, sharing knowledge, and helping people solve problems on their own where possible. Production rarely runs in isolation, so you’ll coordinate closely with quality, maintenance, warehouse, and other departments to keep materials flowing, equipment running, and products released on time. When issues arise, you’ll help identify root causes and support troubleshooting and corrective actions. Documentation and reporting are part of every shift, including production records and clean, complete shift handovers. Throughout, you’ll promote safety, good manufacturing practice, and continuous improvement, building habits that keep the production area reliable and compliant.
As Dairy Production Supervisor, you’ll grow your expertise in fresh and UHT dairy processing and juice production lines, while developing the leadership and communication skills that make a strong shift lead. The ideal candidate holds a bachelor’s degree in dairy technology, food science and technology, or a closely related field, and brings three to five years of experience in a dairy processing environment handling fresh and or UHT products. At least one to two years of mentoring, supervisory, or team-lead experience is expected, along with direct, hands-on exposure to dairy or juice production lines. A basic understanding of ISO 22000, HACCP, GMP, FSMA, or local food safety standards is important, as are strong leadership, supervisory, communication, and interpersonal abilities. For dairy professionals in Qatar who are ready to lead a production team, this role offers a clear next step in a major food manufacturing business.
Why This Role Matters: As Dairy Production Supervisor at Baladna, you keep fresh and UHT dairy production running safely and on target, lead and develop a production team, protect product quality and food safety on every shift, coordinate across quality, maintenance, and warehouse teams, drive continuous improvement on the production floor, and advance a supervisory career in dairy manufacturing in Qatar.
