Here is why I like working at Mavuno

Mavuno Organics has given me a platform to learn the various aspects of avocado farming from farm to client level. My interpersonal skills have also been tested as I interact with farmers and colleagues through work dynamics.

As an inspiring entrepreneur, I have gained insights into how a business should be fostered and look forward to the future.

Role and responsibilities

My responsibilities are vital in ensuring the efficient and effective processing, packaging, and storage of fruits. I oversee and manage the packhouse staff, which includes scheduling shifts, assigning tasks, and ensuring that each team member comprehends their roles and responsibilities. 

I am also tasked with inventory management, which involves monitoring the levels of raw fruit and packaging materials to ensure adequate supplies and managing the ordering process as necessary.

I am in charge of the packhouse facility management, which involves maintaining the equipment and facilities to ensure a safe and efficient working environment. This includes regular inspections and coordinating maintenance or repairs as required.

I implement safety protocols to guarantee compliance with relevant health and safety regulations. This includes ensuring that all staff members are fully trained and adhere to established safety guidelines.

What I like to do in life

I believe that true wealth lies in investing in people, and my understanding of psychology helps me build strong relationships and gain diverse perspectives on life.
 
My fascination with mechanics has driven me to acquire in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience, particularly in understanding how physical principles govern objects and how small parts create functioning systems like engines.
 
Art fuels my passion for visual expression and creativity, which enhances my ability to brainstorm, innovate, and develop new approaches.
 
Additionally, I am an enthusiastic traveller, eager to explore diverse cultures and environments, broadening my horizons and enriching my life experiences.
