A Variety of Shifts Available! (Please indicate your preferred times and shift in our application form)

Role location: YATALA

As we continue to innovate and expand in the Pet Food Industry, we are excited to welcome new members to our Production Team based at our busy Yatala Manufacturing site.

Our production teams are at the heart of our business and are responsible for ensuring we produce our award-winning pet-food products in an efficient, sustainable and consistent manner. 

Our Yatala site is known as a 'wet' site so you will need to be comfortable working in and around raw protein.

When you join our Production Teams, you will be working in an environment that is fast-paced and has people from all walks of life and at various stages in their careers. Even though there is an absolute need for consistency around process, no two days will be the same, and you will be with a team that appreciates the need to work together. Our equipment is big, it is loud, and we have a mix of cutting edge and well-established equipment for you to work on.

About your role

• Be a part of a production team working on a specific product line. This could be pouch, fresh rolls etc.
• Work to agreed deadlines and standards around production delivery
• Commit to and comply with all safety requirements including working in a safe manner at all times, flagging any safety issues you may encounter and adhering to PPE protocols
• Working cross functionally, building strong relationships with different stakeholders and working as one team and responding positively to directives given by your supervisor
  

What will help you succeed

• We’re seeking individuals who bring a strong work ethic, high attention to detail, and a willingness to learn. As a kid you were probably fascinated with big machines and figuring out how things work, and it is highly likely Lego, Meccano or anything mechanical were your go-to toys
• Prior experience in food manufacturing, GMP environments, or operating equipment will be highly regarded (but not essential)
• Most importantly, you pride yourself on having a positive attitude, being reliable, and are the sort of person who often gets asked to stay back or fill in at short notice because you are well respected by your supervisors and peers.
