Te Awamutu | Fully subsidised Health Insurance Included

We are seeking two reliable and motivated Production Operators to join a busy food manufacturing operation based in Te Awamutu.  Our client has two positions available - one day shift (8am - 4pm) and one night shift (midnight - 8am).  Both shifts are Monday to Friday.

These are hands-on roles where you will be responsible for operating production machinery, processing and packing products, and ensuring quality and safety standards are consistently met.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Setting up, operating and monitoring production machinery.
  • Processing and packing products accurately and efficiently.
  • Carrying out quality checks and ensuring packaging standards are met.
  • Maintaining a clean, safe and hygienic work environment.
  • Completing production documentation and following established procedures.
  • Working as part of a team to achieve daily production targets.

What we're looking for:

Ideally, you will have previous experience in food manufacturing or a similar production environment, although a positive attitude and willingness to learn are equally important.

You will also bring:

  • Good attention to detail and a strong focus on quality.
  • Reliability, punctuality and a good work ethic.
  • The ability to follow instructions and work well within a team.
  • High levels of motivation to learn, achieve and progress
  • A commitment to workplace health and safety.
  • The physical capability to be on your feet for extended periods and undertake repetitive tasks.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys practical, hands-on work, takes pride in doing a job well and genuinely wants to be part of team who looks after each other.

If you are interested in either the day shift or afternoon shift position, we'd love to hear from you. Please apply with your CV and cover letter, and indicate your preferred shift.
