  • Handling and preparing meat for processing, including cutting, trimming, and deboning (once appropriately trained)
  • Operating machinery and equipment in accordance with safety guidelines
  • Ensuring compliance with food safety and hygiene regulations throughout the processing stages
  • Conducting quality checks on processed meat products
  • Assisting in the packaging and labelling of meat products
  • Collaborating with team members to maintain a smooth workflow.
  • Assisting with other labour tasks per your supervisor’s direction to support overall day to day operations of the plant.

Characteristics and Aptitudes:

  • High motivation and reliability
  • Willingness to work across hot and cold working environments (spanning 0-35 degrees)
  • Physically capable of repetitive lifting of 10kg boxes, with occasional lifting of up to 30kgs
  • Ability to pass a pre-employment medical check including drug alcohol test
  • Willingness to work in a meat processing environment
  • Physical fitness to handle the role’s demands.
  • A positive, can-do attitude to champion safety for you and your colleagues
