Job Description / Responsibility
- The Head of Business & Operations will lead end-to-end commercial management, plant operations, and proprietary commodity trading for our newly established multi-chamber cold storage facility in Gawdia, Louhajang, Munshiganj. The facility features 800-1,000 MT of modular chilled chambers (for potatoes, onions, carrots, and fruits), 25 MT of low-temperature storage (for meat and fish), a dedicated 2 MT/batch rapid blast freezer (-40°C), and an integrated 900 kWp net-metered solar array backed by a 200 kVA diesel generator. The incumbent will be responsible for driving high-capacity rental utilization, executing seasonal commodity trading arbitrage, managing warehouse receipts, and ensuring plant operational efficiency.
- Chamber Capacity Utilization & Rental Management:
- Drive and maintain ≥85% chamber capacity utilization across chilled (800-1,000 MT) and frozen (25 MT) units through commercial rental contracts.
- Build and manage commercial relationships with regional farmers, local trading aggregators (beparis), Mawa fish landing merchants, wholesale aratdars (Shyambazar, Jatrabari, Badamtoli), and institutional food distributors.
- Negotiate seasonal lump-sum potato/carrot storage tariffs, monthly crate/carton rates, handling charges, and blast-freezing fees in accordance with market rates and DAM benchmarks.
- Oversee the official Warehouse Receipt system: inspect deposits, issue formal storage slips (Rashid/Dakhila), collect advance bookings, and enforce legal liens on stored goods for unpaid dues.
- Procurement, Proprietary Trading & Warehouse Slip Arbitrage:
- Monitor farmgate harvest prices and terminal market trends across Munshiganj, Pabna, Bogura, and Mawa Ghat to execute timely commodity procurement during peak supply windows.
- Lead company inventory buying for high-spread perishables: table potatoes, local onions, carrots, winter vegetables, Padma Hilsha, and deboned beef.
- Execute internal "slip trading": purchase warehouse deposit receipts from cash-constrained depositors at negotiated discounts mid-season, capturing trading deltas with zero added transport or handling costs.
- Coordinate off-season inventory release and liquidation to wholesale markets and institutional food service clients to capture peak off-season margins.
- Cold Chain Integrity, Blast Freezing & OPEX Optimization:
- Supervise plant engineers to maintain strict temperature, relative humidity (RH 65%-98%), and ventilation parameters per commodity to prevent spoilage, sprouting, or shrinkage.
- Enforce strict dock and door discipline to capitalize on the plant`s 120-150mm PUF thermal mass, maintaining holding temperatures for 4-5 hours during grid blackouts without premature generator start.
- Ensure all incoming meat and fish undergo mandatory blast freezing (-35°C to 40°C) before transfer to low-temperature chambers.
- Coordinate with technical staff on the routine upkeep and performance of the 900 kWp net-metered solar plant and 200 kVA backup DG set.
- Plant Administration, Compliance & Team Leadership:
- Lead on-site plant personnel including refrigeration technicians, electrical operators, slip/billing accountants, security teams, and seasonal labor gangs.
- Manage daily gate passes, weighbridge logs, stock reconciliation registers, and cash collections.
- Maintain statutory compliance and liaise with the Department of Agricultural Marketing (DAM), Palli Bidyut Samity (PBS-1), Department of Environment (DOE), and Fire Service.
