Feedmill Manager

About the Role

Palladium Farms Limited is a dynamic integrated agricultural company based in Nigeria, specializing in the sustainable production of high-quality poultry, aquaculture, livestock, and fresh produce. Located in Owode Egba, Ogun State, our operations span poultry, ranch, feedmill, fishery, and crop divisions, all powered by modern tools including Odoo ERP, biometric attendance, and daily digital reporting. Because feed represents the single largest operational cost on our farm, the quality and cost-per-tonne directly dictate the success of every division. We are currently recruiting a dedicated, full-time Feedmill Manager to direct our milling operations, drive cost-efficiency, and ensure zero stock-outs across all farm units.

• Plan and deliver weekly production schedules to meet the feed demands of layer, broiler, breeder, fish, and cattle operations without stock-outs.

• Manage preventive maintenance for the mill, mixer, pelletiser, conveyors, and silos in coordination with the maintenance department.
• Maintain strict first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory discipline and enforce rigorous biosecurity, pest control, housekeeping, and safety standards.
• Record all production, stock, and costing data accurately within the Odoo ERP system and submit comprehensive daily and weekly reports.
• Own the unit budget, monitor cost per tonne and monthly margins, and lead continuous training and performance appraisals for mill supervisors and operators.

• Bachelor of Science (BSc) or Higher National Diploma (HND) in Animal Science, Animal Nutrition, Agricultural Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Minimum of 7 years of proven experience in commercial feed milling, with at least 3 years successfully managing a feedmill plant.
• Demonstrated expertise in feed formulation, formulation software, raw material quality assessment, and mycotoxin control.
• Strong background in managing operating budgets, stock reconciliation, production costing, and ERP systems.
• Exceptional leadership skills with the ability to manage shift-based teams effectively and willingness to reside within proximity of the farm in Ogun State.

• Competitive salary package commensurate with experience.
• Monthly feeding allowance and free comfortable accommodation provided.
• Attractive quarterly performance bonuses tied to operational efficiency and cost targets.
