Are you looking for an opportunity to learn new skills and grow a career in the food manufacturing industry? Our client is looking for process workers to join a creative and modern cheese factory.

About the Company

You will work for a new start-up in the Selwyn district in a totally different cheese industry from the usual cow/goat’s cheese-dominated market. The start-up is a subsidiary of a parent company supported by several other well-established businesses from various sectors.

This family farm makes headlines with its innovative farming and sheep dairy products. They're committed to creating products that are both environmentally and stomach-friendly. The processing plant, milking facilities and animals are on a 160-hectare farm in the picturesque Selwyn District, nestled under the Southern Alps.

About the Role

The duties for this position include the various processes related to the production and ageing of cheese and the related paperwork for each batch. You will work closely with a small team of people to execute daily operations of the production process, monitor and maintain products in the ageing cellars, and coordinate packaging.

You'll work on a 4:2 roster (four days on, two days off) meaning weekend availability is essential. The factory runs Monday - Saturday and there are two shifts to choose from, 6.30 am - 2.30 pm or 2.30 pm - 10.00 pm. We can be somewhat flexible with start and finish times for the right people.
