If you love keeping things running smoothly, solving problems on the fly and being part of a crew that genuinely has your back, this one's for you.

• Free secure on-site parking - no stress, no spend
• Free on-site gym, physio & annual health check - we look after your body, not just your shift
• Food discounts - enjoy the meals you help make
• Family fun days & team events - work that feels like a community
• Real career stability - join a business that's growing, with room to grow alongside it

About the Role:
As a Machine Operator in our Sauce Room, you'll play a key role in keeping production running smoothly - operating equipment, following batch sheets and helping every batch meet our quality standard.

Day Shift Available: 3:00am – 11:06am

What you'll be doing:

• Operate key equipment including cooking equipment, mixers, pumps and filling machines
• Follow batch sheets and recipes accurately, from ingredient weighing through to final product
• Set up and sign off the line each shift, following production schedules and SOPs
• Conduct quality checks throughout the run and troubleshoot minor issues
• Work hands-on in a fast-paced production environment, including exposure to heat and steam

What you bring:

• Experience in food manufacturing is highly regarded - sauce, dairy, beverage, meat or ready meal production, or other batch/HACCP environments
• Experience operating machinery such as cooking equipment, mixers, pumps, filling machines or PLC/touchscreen-controlled equipment (other industries considered)
• Comfort following recipes, batch sheets and formulas, with a good understanding of consistency
• Sharp attention to detail - you'll pick up on the small things, like a wrong weight, temperature or missing paperwork
• A team-first attitude - while you'll often work independently on the equipment, you'll need to communicate well with QA, Production, Prep, Assembly, Maintenance and your Team Leader
• Physically fit for standing, lifting and working in a fast-paced, hands-on environment

Ready to keep great food moving?

We're after a team-first attitude - someone who shows up, pitches in, and thrives as part of a close-knit, fast-paced crew. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now and join one of Australia's most successful and respected food companies, helping shape the future of healthy eating for thousands of Aussies every day.
