Our client is a rapidly growing agritech and large-scale pig farming company focused on building modern, technology-driven livestock operations across Indonesia.

The company operates integrated commercial pig farms supported by advanced biosecurity systems, automated feedmill operations, centralized management systems, and structured site operational frameworks.

With a strong commitment to operational excellence, productivity improvement, animal health, biosecurity, and sustainable livestock development, the company continues to expand its farming network across strategic locations in Indonesia.

As part of this growth, the organization is strengthening its site leadership team to ensure effective coordination across farm operations, workforce management, logistics, maintenance, general affairs, and supporting functions.

The working environment is highly operational, structured, and fast-paced, requiring strong ownership, discipline, and hands-on leadership capability within remote farm locations.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on operational leader who understands commercial livestock operations, preferably with direct experience in pig/swine farming or other four-legged livestock operations.

• Support implementation of operational systems, digital monitoring tools, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Assist management in tracking operational KPIs, workforce productivity, efficiency improvement, and overall site performance.

• Identify operational issues and coordinate solutions to minimize downtime and improve overall farm effectiveness.

Candidate Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture, Animal Science, Livestock Management, Operations Management, or related fields.

• Minimum 3 years of experience in livestock or large-scale site-based operations.

• Experience managing cross-functional coordination, workforce activities, vendor management, and general affairs operations.

• Strong understanding of SOP-based operational environments, biosecurity, and workforce discipline management.

• Experience working in remote farm, plantation, mining, camp-based, or other remote site operations is highly preferred.

• Strong capability in operational reporting, Microsoft Excel, inventory monitoring, and administrative control.

• Understanding of logistics coordination, facility management, and site operational support.

• Strong leadership presence with an ownership mindset, discipline, and proactive problem-solving ability.

• Excellent communication, coordination, and stakeholder management skills.
