About La Croqueteria
We are a small-scale, premium artisan food producer based in Sunshine West dedicated to crafting an exceptional product. We aren’t a high-stress commercial restaurant line or a faceless giant factory. Everything we do centers on meticulous attention to detail, purpose, consistency, and absolute quality.

We are looking for a reliable, quality-focused team member to join our tight-knit production team of 2 people. Whether you come from a hospitality background (cook, chef, catering) or food manufacturing, if you take genuine pride in your craft and love working with your hands, we want to hear from you.

The Role
This is a hands-on position where you will be involved in the daily crafting, batch cooking, packaging, and quality control. Working alongside a passionate team, you will ensure our recipes are executed perfectly and our high operational standards are maintained.

We are offering a Full-Time Permanent position, but we will consider Part-Time applicants for the right fit.

Key Responsibilities

- Batch Cooking & Prep: Execute large-scale batch cooking and food preparation according to established recipes.

- Equipment Operation: Set up, operate, and clean professional manual and electric food processing equipment.

- Packaging & Labelling: Accurately package, label, and prepare finished products for storage or dispatch.

- Quality Assurance: Ensure every single batch meets our strict standards for taste, appearance, and consistency.

- Inventory & Food Safety: Follow food safety protocols, receive/rotate ingredients,



and accurately maintain daily stock and production records.

- Hygiene & Maintenance: Complete end-of-day cleaning duties to maintain an immaculate, compliant kitchen setting.

What We Are Looking For

- Experience as a Cook, Chef, Caterer, Baker, or Food Production Assistant is highly valued, but not indispensable—full training will be provided.

- A strong eye for detail, a commitment to consistency, and high standards of cleanliness.

- Understanding of food safety, stock rotation and kitchen organisation.

- Physical capability to manage an active, hands-on food production role (including handling hot and frozen items and lifting weights).

- A collaborative, positive attitude—you enjoy working closely within a small, focused team.

- Good organizational skills and the ability to maintain clear paperwork/records.

What We Offer

- Attractive Pay: $32.00 per hour + 12.0% superannuation.

- Consistent daytime hours (6:30 AM – 2:30 PM, Monday to Friday).

- Comprehensive Training: Thorough on-the-job training to teach you our specialized artisan processes.

- Great Workplace Culture: A stable, highly organized, and focused working environment (no angry customers, tickets machines, or chaotic rushes).

- Pride in Production: The reward of working with a well-loved artisan product.

How to Apply
If you are ready to bring your culinary skills or detail-oriented approach to La Croqueteria, please submit your resume and a brief cover letter explaining why you would be a great fit for our team. Please also state your preference for Full-Time or Part-Time hours.
