Full job description

Maritime Innovation Limited is seeking a Plant Propagation Supervisor to lead daily production activities within our plant propagation facility, with a primary operational focus on conifer somatic embryogenesis (SE) .

The Plant Propagation Supervisor provides direct leadership to technical staff involved in somatic embryo production, microcutting production, and controlled-environment growing systems. The role coordinates production schedules, manages supplies and equipment, and works closely with nursery and operations leadership to ensure reliable transfer of high-quality plant material to downstream production and deployment. While the position supports continuous process improvement, it is primarily operational and execution-driven , focused on stable, repeatable production rather than experimental research.

Execute production schedules to meet output, quality, and delivery targets
Monitor workflow, optimize labor deployment, and remove bottlenecks in production processes

Oversee routine equipment operation, maintenance, and coordination of repairs

2. Team Leadership & Supervision

Directly supervise, coach, and support production staff and technicians
Hold team members accountable for performance, attendance, and adherence to procedures
Foster a positive, respectful, and results-driven work environment

3. Quality, Safety & Compliance

Enforce health, safety, and environmental procedures at all times
Participate in inspections, audits, and corrective actions as required
Respond promptly to incidents or production deviations

4. Inventory, Planning & Cost Control

Monitor inventory of consumables, growth media, inputs, and supplies
Coordinate purchasing and ensure uninterrupted production support
Track material usage and help manage operating costs
Support budgeting and forecasting related to production activities

5. Reporting & Communication

Track and report key production metrics (output, losses, efficiency, labor utilization)
Communicate production status, risks, and improvement opportunities to management
Coordinate closely with nursery operations and internal partners to align production needs

6. Continuous Improvement

Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, consistency, and throughput
Support implementation of process improvements and operational upgrades
Contribute practical input to production planning and facility development

Education

Minimum of a Bachelor’s degree or Diploma in plant science, biology, agriculture, or a related field
Equivalent technical training and experience will be considered

Experience

3–5 years of experience in plant tissue culture, plant propagation, greenhouse, nursery, or similar production environments
Prior supervisory or team-lead experience strongly preferred
Experience with plant tissue culture, especially conifer somatic embryogenesis, or controlled-environment propagation is an asset

Skills & Attributes

Strong people leadership with a practical, hands-on approach
Proven ability to operate in a production-focused, deadline-driven environment
Solid understanding of plant tissue culture propagation and plant physiology fundamentals
Mechanical aptitude and comfort working with automated or semi-automated systems
Strong organization, planning, and problem-solving skills
Comfortable using standard computer applications (MS Office) and production tracking systems
