Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia Health Icons Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Capsule & Gummy Machine Operators (Experienced)

About Health Icons

Health Icons is an Australian CDMO building end-to-end supplement brands - from formulation through to manufacturing, packaging and launch support. We operate a modern ISO 8 cleanroom with SQF compliance in progress, focused on quality, speed-to-market and commercial reliability.

Location: Unit 2, 86 Burnside Road, Ormeau QLD 4208 (Northern Gold Coast).

Experienced applicants only. You'll be part of a fast-growing team scaling capsule and gummy lines for leading nutraceutical and sports-nutrition brands.

What you'll do

  • Run automated capsule-filling (semi-auto or fully auto) and/or gummy depositing lines (pectin and gelatin systems)
  • Execute batching/weigh-up and prepare syrups and blends to spec
  • Perform in-process checks (pH, °Brix, temperature, weight variation) and document results accurately
  • Troubleshoot common machine and product faults; complete clean-downs and changeovers to GMP standards
  • Follow SOPs, HACCP/GMP hygiene and contribute to continuous improvement on throughput and yield

What we're looking for

  • Proven experience operating capsule and/or gummy machinery in food, nutraceutical or pharma manufacturing
  • Strong understanding of GMP/HACCP and production hygiene
  • Confident reading batch sheets and completing batch records with high attention to detail
  • Hands-on mindset, safety-first attitude, and a steady approach under production pressure

Why Health Icons?

Join a fast-growing CDMO where you'll have real ownership from day one. Working end-to-end with R&D, QA and Production to turn ideas into shipped products in our ISO 8 cleanroom using modern automated gummy and capsule lines. You'll get startup pace, steep learning curves and clear progression, plus the chance to build processes, not just run them; so your work shows up on shelves, not just in reports.

  • High impact: Ship new products fast; see your improvements in weekly KPIs.
  • Growth runway: Mentoring from senior technologists and a path to lead roles as we scale.
  • Modern kit: Automated lines, data-driven checks (pH/°Brix/temp/weight), GMP/HACCP environment.
  • End-to-end exposure: Formulation, scale-up, validation, and continuous improvement—not siloed work.
  • Founder-led culture: Low bureaucracy, quick decisions, and recognition for initiative.

If you want the pace of a startup with the rigour of GMP manufacturing, this is where you'll grow fast and make a visible dent.
