Program Requirements:

While we welcome applications from all, the Christmas Ham Program is a physically intense and fast-paced environment involving repetitive manual tasks and heavy lifting. Because your safety is our top priority, all applicants will go through pre-employment checks to ensure they're suited to the physical demands of this specific program.

If this role isn't the right fit, don't worry - we will still consider you for other opportunities within the factory that are better suited to you

Your duties may include but are not limited to:
  • Operate and maintain machinery and equipment used in meat processing, including tasks such as repetitive lifting, pulling, pushing, holding and carrying up to 8-13 kgs
  • Adhere to strict food safety and quality standards throughout the production process
  • Collaborate with the production team and supervisors to ensure smooth production flow and achieve daily targets
  • Rotate tasks to ensure variety in daily duties
  • Maintain a clean and organised work environment

About You

To be successful in this role you must be able to demonstrate the following abilities and personal attributes:
  • A strong commitment to safe work practices at all times
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work well with other team members
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment while completing repetitive tasks
  • Be physically fit and able to stand for extended periods of time
  • Comfortable lifting weights of up to 10 kg frequently
  • Able to work in chilled temperature rooms
  • A hardworking attitude and the ability to communicate and interact with people at all levels
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
  • A genuine commitment to full-time working hours for the duration of the program

No previous factory experience is needed - full paid training is provided on the job
