The main tasks of a fish processing foreman are to plan processing, decide which processing methods are used and ensure that the right product is produced according to processing rules. The foreman is responsible for ensuring that all equipment and tools work, that procedures are followed and that safety and quality requirements are met.
The foreman works in close collaboration with engineers and quality managers and distributes tasks to the team leaders but reports to the production manager. The work environment is often multicultural, working hours can vary and working conditions vary.
