You will likely bring:
  • A background in food, beverage, bakery, FMCG or similar manufacturing

  • Accuracy and attention to detail - consistent adherence to specification and procedure is essential
  • Experience with digital systems preferred
  • The ability to adapt quickly as processes evolve
  • A strong work ethic and visible motivation - this is a culture where effort is noticed and rewarded
  • A forklift licence is advantageous but not essential
  • A go-getter attitude - someone who brings energy to the floor and lifts the team around them

Why This Role
  • Permanent role inside a global business actively investing in its Australian operations
  • Join a Great Place to Work certified site with strong engagement scores
  • Strong internal promotion culture - people are regularly developed into supply planning, purchasing and leadership roles from the production floor
  • Be part of a site undergoing significant expansion with long-term growth potential
