About Pikko
Pikko is Australia's first fresh cat food subscription brand.
We make premium, human-grade meals for cats using Australian meats and organs — gently cooked, portioned, vacuum-sealed and frozen for freshness.
We're a small but fast-growing startup on a mission to change the way cats eat across Australia.
The Role
We're looking for a reliable and hardworking Kitchen Hand / Food Production Assistant to join our production kitchen in Medina (Kwinana industrial area — best suited to applicants in Perth's southern suburbs).
This is a hands-on role supporting food preparation, cooking, packing, cleaning and general production.
You'll be helping make the fresh meals that go out to cats across Australia.
The role is currently casual, around 3–4 shifts per week, 7:00am–3:00pm, with the opportunity to become part-time or full time as Pikko grows.
Key Responsibilities
Preparing and portioning raw and cooked meats, including organ meats such as liver and heart
Assisting with cooking ground meats to the correct internal temperatures, following our food safety procedures (training provided)
Operating kitchen equipment such as grinders, mixers and vacuum sealers
Labelling, packing and organising food pouches for freezing
Maintaining high hygiene, cleanliness and food safety standards
Cleaning equipment, benches, floors and production areas
Helping keep the kitchen organised, efficient and ready for production
Assisting with general kitchen and food production duties as required

practical and comfortable with hands-on food production work.
You should be:
Comfortable working with raw meat, organ meats, fish and pork
Comfortable working in cold environments, including freezer rooms
Physically fit and able to stand for long periods and lift boxes
Reliable, punctual and able to follow instructions carefully
Detail-oriented, working cleanly and safely
Happy doing repetitive hands-on production and cleaning work
Available 7:00am–3:00pm, 3–4 days per week
Holding valid Australian work rights
Previous experience as a kitchen hand, food production worker, butcher's assistant, packer or process worker is highly regarded.
A Food Safety certificate is desirable, or a willingness to obtain one (we'll support you with this).
Cat parents especially welcome.

Consistent shifts, 3–4 days per week, 7:00am–3:00pm
