**SPC CASUAL PRODUCTION OPERATORS**
**2025 HARVEST SEASON**

SPC is an iconic food manufacturer with a 100-year commitment to playing a positive role in the Australian economy and manufacturing industry. Our manufacturing and distribution site is located in Shepparton in Victoria's beautiful Goulburn Valley region.

Each year SPC offers a number of Casual Production Operator roles during the peak fruit processing season. The availability and duration of the work is dictated by crop harvests, which means there may be times when the work is plentiful and also times when there may be fewer shifts, however, when rostered on, employees are required to work 8-hour shifts and this can at times be up to 7 days a week in the peak of the season.

The work typically commences in late December/ early January and continues through to April.

**Our shifts include**:

- Day Shift (7:00am - 3:00pm)
- Afternoon Shift (3:00pm - 11:00pm)
- Night Shift (11:00pm - 7:00am)

Although there are more work opportunities if you are available across all shifts, you can select your preferred shift.

**Casual Production Operator employment includes a wide variety of roles and some of the work you may be asked to do includes**:

- Inspecting, sorting and trimming fruit by hand
