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.

About the Role

We're seeking enthusiastic Seafood Production Team Members to join our brand-new processing and manufacturing team. This is a hands-on role where you'll help prepare, process and package premium Australian tuna products while keeping safety, quality, and teamwork front of mind.

With weekday-only hours (Monday to Friday) and no weekend shifts, this role is ideal for individuals looking for stable employment in a positive, purpose-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Follow established Little Tuna production and canning procedures.
  • Process seafood products into packaging, ready for cooking and final distribution.
  • Maintain a clean, safe workspace and follow workplace health and safety policies.
  • Work efficiently as part of a team to achieve daily production goals.
  • Support the team with other tasks as directed to keep operations running smoothly.

Skills & Experience

  • Ability to follow instructions and work effectively as part of a team.
  • 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.
  • A role with purpose supporting local fishers and the future of Australian tuna.
