As a senior member of the team there are a number of additional management duties you will oversee including staff recruitment, training, scheduling, payroll and implementing Health & Safety policies and practices across the division. You will also play an active role in financials, so you will need to be commercially astute, have a solid understanding of managing and controlling costs; and know your way around a P&L in order to report back on monthly basis to our owners and corporate office in New York.
