Processing Supervisor


Kenney & Ross Limited (K&R) has been a pioneer in the marine by-products industry since 1945. Founded by local entrepreneurs Job Kenney and Reginald Ross, K&R is recognized for producing high-quality fish gelatin and collagen from wild-caught North Atlantic species. Our products serve the food, pharmaceutical, and technical-grade markets, including Kosher and Halal certified offerings. K&R continues to uphold a legacy of purity, quality, and dedication to excellence.


Meridia is happy to partner with K&R in their search for a Processing Supervisor to join their team in Port Saxon, conveniently located within a 50-minute drive from Yarmouth and 25-minutes from Shelburne, making it accessible for candidates across Nova Scotia’s beautiful South Shore.



Role Description


K&R is seeking a highly experienced and technically capable Processing Supervisor to lead a critical production function within their operations. This role is considered one of the most technically demanding supervisory positions within their organization and will require a leader with strong mechanical aptitude, operational expertise, and proven supervisory experience.


This is not a typical supervisory role, this position requires a hands-on leader who thrives in a high-pressure, fast-paced environment and is committed to learning and mastering complex production processes over time.


Your responsibilities will include:
  • Oversee efficient production of high-quality gelatin products.
  • Ensure compliance with company quality programs, GMP, and SOPs.
  • Train, supervise, and support employees to perform effectively and safely.
  • Promote workplace safety and participate in health & safety initiatives.
  • Maintain equipment cleanliness, reliability, and production readiness.
  • Plan and manage staffing, schedules, budgets, and production targets.
  • Monitor production performance, yields, and product specifications.
  • Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve quality, technical, and process issues.
  • Maintain accurate reporting and conduct internal audits.
  • Communicate regularly with leadership and support continuous improvement.
  • Operate and train staff on production equipment as needed.
  • Provide operational support, including after-hours coverage and special projects.
Your Qualifications


A strong background in food manufacturing is preferred, combined with excellent technical and mechanical aptitude and hands-on equipment experience. You bring proven leadership capability in a production environment, including training and developing operators, and are comfortable working in high-pressure, fast-paced settings. A hands-on approach, strong problem-solving skills, and a commitment to continuous learning are essential, as this role requires time to develop deep process expertise.


Your qualifications include:
  • Experience within a food, pharma, or regulated manufacturing environment. 
  • Strong technical and mechanical aptitude, with hands-on experience understanding production equipment.
  • Demonstrated experience in training and developing operators on processes and equipment.
  • Proven ability to lead teams in a production environment.
  • Ability to thrive in high-demand, high-pressure environments while maintaining composure.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to manage complex operational challenges in real time.
  • A hands-on leadership style, with a willingness to actively participate in operations.
  • Commitment to continuous learning and development, recognizing this role requires significant ramp-up time.
At K&R, you’ll build your career in a supportive coastal community while enjoying a strong benefits package. Along with relocation assistance, K&R offers competitive compensation, a Group RRSP, cost-shared health and life benefits, and participation in the Employee Incentive Program (EIP), a bonus program rewarding employee contributions.
