Meet Kaliel Robinson
Trainee Supervisor at Eltham
Kaliel ‘Daddy’ Robinson has been at ANZCO Foods Eltham for around six years now. He started out on the slaughterfloor, and when one of the supervisors left, he and his friends thought it'd be a bit of a laugh for him to apply for the position of trainee supervisor - and he actually got the job!
Kaliel's blue supervisor hat is hard to miss, with yellow tape on the front and his nickname ‘Daddy’ on it. When his partner was pregnant with their first child, he started putting ‘Daddy’ at the end of his name, so people started calling him ‘Daddy' and the moniker has stuck.
He's been training for a couple of years now. He's found the main change has been heaps of paperwork - timesheets, carcass dressing and checking that product is good quality - and also helping employees if they need, finding replacements to cover them on the chain or jumping on the chain himself if he needs to.
What's surprised him most about ANZCO is the wide knowledge of people who work at the site about work and non-work related things. He doesn't need a mechanic anymore, because he'll just go find someone on site who knows about cars. Or, if he needs electrical work done on his house, there's guaranteed to be an electrician who can help. He appreciates having that network where everyone is willing to help.
Outside of work, he mainly chills with his kids, a boy and a girl, and his partner who he's been with for seven years.
