Byron Beef Jerky is a family-owned food manufacturing business based in the Bangalow area.
Operating since ****, we produce a range of premium meat snacks including Beef Jerky, Biltong and Beef Sticks.
We are a small, friendly team with a strong focus on quality, food safety and doing things properly.
As our business continues to grow, we are looking for reliable and positive people to join our production team.
We potentially have several positions available for the right candidates.
About the Role
We are looking forProduction Assistantsto work across our manufacturing facility.
Depending on the needs of the business and your strengths, you may work inraw production, packing, or across multiple areas of the facility.
This will start as a casual position with the prospect to move to permanent employment.Approximately 38 hours per week across five days is very standard for our production team, and we are looking for people who want consistent, ongoing employment.
Our normal production week isMonday to Friday.
Depending on the area you are working in, shifts generally start between5:00 am and 9:00 amand finish between2:00 pm and 5:00 pm.
Production does not always finish at exactly the same time each day, so some flexibility is required.
There may be occasions where the team needs to stay longer to complete production, cleaning or other essential tasks before finishing for the day.
What You'll Be Doing
This is a hands-on production role, and your duties may include:
Preparing and handling raw meat
Weighing ingredients and following recipes and production specifications
Mixing and marinating products
Loading and unloading trays, racks and production equipment
Operating production machinery and equipment
Packing finished products
Labelling and checking finished goods
Carrying out product and quality checks
Following food safety, hygiene and allergen-control procedures
Completing production and traceability records
Moving ingredients, packaging and finished goods around the facility
Cleaning and sanitising your own work area,



equipment and other areas of the production facility as required
Assisting with stock movement and general production tasks
Supporting other members of the production team when required
Performing other reasonable duties that are required to keep a busy food production facility running effectively
We don't expect every applicant to have done all of these things before.We are very happy to train the right person.
What We're Looking For
Experience is useful, butattitude, reliability and willingness to learn are more important to us.
The people who tend to do well in our team are those who:
Turn up reliably and on time
Have a positive, can-do attitude
Take pride in their work
Care about cleanliness and hygiene
Are willing to learn
Can follow instructions and procedures carefully
Pay attention to detail
Work well as part of a team
Treat their coworkers with respect
Are happy to help wherever needed
Understand that production work sometimes means finishing the job before going home
Are comfortable performing repetitive tasks when required
Can communicate effectively in English and accurately follow written production and food-safety instructions
Previous food manufacturing, production, warehousing, butchery or similar experience is valuable butnot essential.
A forklift licence or experience operating production equipment would also be highly regarded.
What the Working Environment Is Actually Like
We think it is important that applicants understand what the job involves before applying.
This is a genuine food-production role — not an office or retail position.
You will regularly behandling raw meat.
The production environment is generally around8°C, and areas of the factory can becold, wet and noisy.
You will spend most of your shiftstanding and working on your feet.
Some tasks can be repetitive, particularly during larger production or packing runs.
There is physical work involved, including moving tubs, cartons, trays, ingredients and products,



although regular extremely heavy lifting is not a major part of the position.
Cleaning and sanitation are also an important part of everyone's job.
Maintaining a clean facility is integral to producing safe, high-quality food, and all team members are expected to contribute.
If you enjoy practical, hands-on work and like being part of a team that gets things done, you may find the environment very rewarding.
Food Safety & Quality
Food safety is integral to everything we do.
You will be expected to take hygiene, cleanliness, allergen controls, traceability and production procedures seriously.
Training will be provided, but we are looking for people who understand that in food manufacturing,doing the job correctly is just as important as doing it quickly.
Requirements
To be considered for this position, you will need:
The ability to reliably work Monday to Friday
Availability for shifts commencing as early as 5:00 am
Flexibility around finish times when production requirements demand it
Your own reliable vehicle
A current driver's licence
Australian working rights that allow you to work the hours required for the position
The ability to comfortably work in a chilled production environment
The ability to handle raw meat regularly
The ability to perform the physical and standing requirements of the role
Working holiday makers are welcome to apply where their visa conditions allow them to meet the requirements of the position.
What We Offer
While the position is casual, our production is ongoing and is not dependent on a short seasonal period.
Five-day working weeks and approximately 38 hours are normal for many members of our production team.
We offer:
Consistent Monday-to-Friday work
Great team environment
A stable production schedule
No regular weekend roster
A friendly, family-business environment
Christmas holidays
The belief of promoting from within
A supportive team of approximately 10 people
Training for people who are new to food manufacturing
Opportunities to learn different areas of production
Opportunities to learn machinery and additional skills
Genuine opportunities to grow as the business grows
