Consequence of Error/Judgement

The Lead Sales Coordinator is a representative of the CSFS at UBC Farm and the Faculty of Land and Food Systems. This individual’s approach and delivery of information in dealing with the general public and a variety of site users present at the UBC Farm site reflect on these units. Therefore, ensuring a high regard for professionalism, safety, and adherence to UBC policies is of considerable importance. When operating vehicles and equipment, poor judgment of the operating conditions, failure to defer problems to supervisors, and failure to abide by standard procedures can result in injury or death. Safety orientations and training will be provided before the assignment of tasks that require the use of such equipment. Day-to-day decisions regarding farm product processing and sales have a considerable impact on the financial viability of the UBC Farm and the quality of the research and academic programming at the CSFS. The Lead Sales Coordinator has a high degree of responsibility for maintaining accurate harvest and sales records, achieving sales targets, and ensuring that best management practices for produce processing and handling are followed.
