About HNL

HNL Products (M) Sdn. Bhd. is an established Malaysian snack manufacturer with more than 20 years of experience. Through our HNL Snek brand, we manufacture and distribute a wide range of Malaysian snacks, including nuts, muruku, crackers, kerepek and other traditional favourites.

As our business and product range continue to develop, we are looking for a responsible and hands-on Packing Supervisor to lead our packing team and strengthen our daily packing operations.

This is a floor-based supervisory position. You will be responsible for ensuring that the right products are packed correctly, safely and on time while maintaining productivity, quality, hygiene and accurate records.

Key Responsibilities:

• Plan and organise daily packing activities according to production schedules, sales orders, stock requirements and delivery deadlines.
• Supervise, guide and coordinate a team of approximately eight packing operators.
• Assign manpower to packing lines and workstations based on daily priorities and available resources.
• Conduct daily briefings and communicate output targets, packing requirements and quality expectations clearly.
• Monitor daily packing output and take immediate action when production falls behind schedule.
• Ensure that the correct product, packaging material, label and product specification are used for every packing job.
• Verify net weight, batch number, manufacturing date, expiry date, coding, sealing quality and packaging appearance.
• Carry out proper line clearance during product, flavour, size or packaging changes to prevent mix-ups.
• Ensure all packed products meet the company’s quality and food-safety requirements before transfer to finished-goods storage.
• Monitor the operation of weighing equipment, filling machines, sealing machines, coding machines, metal detectors and other packing equipment.
• Perform basic troubleshooting and promptly report machine breakdowns or abnormalities to the Maintenance team.
• Coordinate with Production, QC, Warehouse, Maintenance and Management to resolve operational problems.
• Monitor packaging-material usage and report shortages early to prevent interruptions.
• Control packaging wastage, product spillage, rejects, rework and unnecessary downtime.
• Ensure rejected or non-conforming products are properly identified, isolated and reported.
• Maintain accurate packing, output, inspection, traceability, cleaning and downtime records.
• Ensure all operators follow company SOPs, GMP, HACCP, Halal, MESTI, hygiene and food-safety requirements.
• Enforce proper personal hygiene, protective clothing, housekeeping and workplace-safety practices.
• Train new and existing operators on work instructions, packing standards, food safety and machine operation.
• Monitor attendance, punctuality, discipline, work performance and adherence to break times.
• Arrange overtime or manpower changes when required to meet operational deadlines.
• Investigate packing errors, customer complaints and repeated quality issues, and assist in implementing corrective action.
• Recommend practical improvements to increase output, reduce wastage and create a more organised packing workflow.
• Maintain a clean, safe and audit-ready packing area.
• Carry out other related production and packing duties assigned by Management.

Requirements

• Minimum SPM, STPM, Certificate or Diploma in Manufacturing, Food Technology, Operations Management or a related field.
• At least 2–5 years of experience in manufacturing, food production, FMCG or packing operations.
• Previous experience as a Packing Supervisor, Production Supervisor, Line Leader or Senior Operator is strongly preferred.
• Experience supervising production or packing operators is required.
• Familiarity with food manufacturing, GMP, HACCP, Halal, MESTI or traceability systems will be an advantage.
• Able to plan manpower, set work priorities and monitor daily output.
• Able to read and follow product specifications, packing instructions and SOPs accurately.
• Basic knowledge of packing machines, sealing equipment, coding machines and weighing equipment is preferred.
• Able to use basic Microsoft Excel and complete production records accurately.
• Able to communicate effectively in Bahasa Malaysia. Basic English will be useful.
• Willing to work overtime or shifts when operationally required.
• Physically able and willing to work in a factory and packing-floor environment.

The Person We Are Looking For

You may be suitable for this position if you:

• Are organised, responsible and attentive to detail.
• Can lead operators firmly while treating people respectfully.
• Take action when problems occur instead of waiting for instructions.
• Are particular about product weight, sealing, coding, cleanliness and packaging appearance.
• Can remain calm when orders are urgent, manpower is short or machines encounter problems.
• Communicate delays and risks early and honestly.
• Are willing to be present on the packing floor and lead by example.
• Want to improve productivity and develop a long-term career in manufacturing operations.

How Success Will Be Measured

Your performance will be evaluated based on:

• Achievement of daily packing schedules and output targets.
• On-time completion of products required for delivery.
• Packing accuracy and reduction of labelling, coding and weight errors.
• Reduction of rejects, rework, packaging wastage and machine downtime.
• Accuracy and completeness of production and traceability records.
• Packing-team attendance, discipline, productivity and training.
• Compliance with hygiene, food-safety and workplace-safety requirements.
• Cleanliness and organisation of the packing area.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience and capability.
• EPF, SOCSO and EIS contributions.
• Overtime payment where applicable.
• Practical exposure to food manufacturing and FMCG operations.
• Opportunity to lead and develop an established packing team.
• Opportunity for career progression as the company strengthens and expands its operations.
