Have experience packing and blending food products, using filling or weighing equipment? We’d like to hear from you.

We are a food manufacturing business in Penrose and are looking for one full-time employee and one casual employee to join our small, friendly production team.

You must be reliable, fit and strong, with some previous packing and blending experience in food manufacture. Must have transport, must speak english, must be NZ citizen or resident.

One full-time position and one casual position

Packing is a key part of these roles, alongside blending, batching and helping with warehouse duties as required. If you enjoy practical work, take pride in getting the details right and are happy to help wherever needed, you could be a good fit.

About the work

Our packing operation is hands-on and machine based. Experience with similar powder filling and weighing equipment, would be an advantage.

Your duties will include:

• Filling, weighing, sealing and labelling finished products.

• Checking pack weights, packaging quality and labels.

• Weighing and batching ingredients accurately using recipes and bills of material.

• Operating blending equipment and recording batch details.

• Helping with incoming goods, dispatch and general warehouse tasks.

• Cleaning machinery, equipment and work areas to maintain food safety standards.

Everyone in our team helps across the operation, so you’ll need to be comfortable moving between packing, blending, cleaning and stores work.

What we’re looking for

We’re particularly interested in applicants with previous packing experience in a production or manufacturing environment.

You’ll need:

• Good attention to detail when checking weights, quantities, labels and paperwork.

• The ability to read and follow written instructions, complete production records and use basic maths.

• The ability to safely handle bags and materials weighing up to 25 kg and work on your feet for extended periods.

• Ability to operate packing and blending machinery safely.

• A strong commitment to food safety, personal hygiene and workplace safety.

• A reliable, practical approach and a willingness to work as part of a team.

• Current residence in New Zealand and the right to work here.

Experience in food manufacturing, dry blending or batching would be useful. A current forklift licence and basic computer or barcode scanning skills would also be an advantage.

Our operation runs predominantly Monday to Friday between 6am and 4pm.

Some flexibility may be required to support different duties, with occasional overtime or weekend work.

The casual position provides cover as required. Please include your availability when applying.

We offer a small, supportive team environment with on-site staff parking.
