About Us

At Little Tuna, East Coast Tuna Co. and Cairns Little Seafood Market, we're not just selling seafood we're rewriting the story of Australian tuna. From launching the nation's first Australian-made, wild-caught tuna in a jar, to pioneering the only Aussie-caught tinned tuna, our brands are built on sustainability, transparency and innovation.

Founded by Australian fishing families, we're a passionate crew supporting local fishers, protecting our oceans and delivering premium, traceable seafood. With fast growth across retail, export and direct-to-consumer channels, plus major investment in building a brand-new micro-cannery, we're looking for motivated team members to help bring this exciting new chapter to life.

  • Strong communication skills to collaborate with colleagues and supervisors.
  • Organised, reliable, and able to meet daily goals and timelines.
  • Previous experience in food manufacturing or seafood processing is an advantage — but not essential (full training provided).

What We Offer

  • The chance to be part of a brand-new team in Australia's first seafood micro-cannery.
  • Weekday-only work for a great work-life balance.
  • A supportive and positive team environment where reliability is valued.
  • Full training provided no prior seafood experience required.
