Manager Production

About This Role

Job Overview

Ranfas Nuburger Food is not your typical food manufacturer. We operate at Abu Dhabi Airport, serving travelers, crew members, and airport staff with quality burgers that move fast. Our kitchen never sleeps, and neither does our commitment to consistency, hygiene, and speed. We are looking for a Production Manager who understands that in this environment, every minute matters and every burger tells a story.

The Role

This is a hybrid role, which means you will split your time between managing the production floor at Abu Dhabi Airport and handling planning, reporting, and team coordination remotely. You will oversee daily production schedules, food safety compliance, inventory, and a team of kitchen staff. The person in this role must be equally comfortable troubleshooting a grill issue at 3 AM and building a production forecast from their home office. If you thrive on variety, pressure, and the energy of a 24/7 airport operation, keep reading.

Duties

• Plan and oversee daily production schedules to meet airport passenger flow and airline catering demand.
• Lead, train, and schedule production staff across multiple shifts, ensuring coverage 24/7.
• Enforce strict food safety standards in compliance with Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) and airport regulations.
• Monitor inventory of raw materials, packaging, and supplies, coordinating with procurement to avoid shortages.
• Track production KPIs including waste, output per labor hour, and downtime.
• Use remote tools to monitor floor operations, approve schedules, and communicate with supervisors from off-site.
• Conduct regular audits of hygiene, equipment, and team performance.
• Troubleshoot equipment issues and coordinate with maintenance teams.
• Prepare production reports, cost analysis, and improvement plans for senior management.

Qualifications

• Diploma or degree in Food Science, Operations Management, or a related field.
• 5-7 years of production management experience in food manufacturing, QSR, or airline catering.
• Strong knowledge of HACCP, ISO 22000, and UAE food safety regulations.
• Experience managing a hybrid team (on-site and remote coordination).
• Proficiency with production planning software and Microsoft Office Suite.
• Ability to make quick decisions under pressure in a fast-paced airport environment.
• Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Flexibility to work non-traditional hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays as needed.
• Fluency in English is required; knowledge of Arabic or South Asian languages is an asset.
• Must have a valid UAE PASS for digital identity verification and onboarding.

Why Join Ranfas Nuburger Food?

• Unique Environment: Work inside Abu Dhabi Airport, one of the busiest travel hubs in the world.
