Oversee daily hatchery operations, including incubation, hatching, chick processing, staff supervision, production monitoring, biosecurity, animal welfare, recordkeeping, and coordination with live operations and production teams. The manager ensures chick quality, hatchability, regulatory compliance, equipment maintenance, safety, and operational efficiency while troubleshooting issues and implementing corrective actions.

Ensure a secure, safe hatchery by overseeing facility access and employee movement, enforcing biosecurity and safety protocols, and preventing unauthorized entry. Monitor and record temperature and humidity, change HVAC filters, maintain welfare standards, lift 40–80 pounds, work in varied environmental conditions and at heights, and be available for weekends and holidays.

Unload railcars and trucks over the pit, monitor ingredient flow and dust levels, maintain a clean and safe work area, and complete daily inventory. The role requires following instructions, wearing PPE, handling objects up to 50 pounds, and performing bending, crawling, and stooping. Weekend work may be required, with training on day shift followed by transfer to night shift. Teamwork, reliable attendance, and awareness of truck and railcar hazards are essential.
